More Hip Hop Shows For You

This Thursday, June 18th @ Apache Cafe, it's Mr. S.O.S.'s album release party. The event is completely FREE and features performances from Chapter 13, Cashmere the Pro, and Deacon and Kno from Cunninlynguists. The absence of Natti from the Cunninlyguists line-up (plus the presence of S.O.S.) can only mean one thing: Lots of tracks from "SouthernUnderground". Sounds great.



Then on Friday @ the Apache Cafe, Devin the Dude is performing. Come equipped with blunts, you might even get a free Devin the Dude ash tray. Unfortunately this one's twenty bucks.


This ones not quite hip hop, but close enough. Noot D' Noot is having their album release part at the Earl on Saturday the 20th. Their new recordings are supposed to sound more like their live show than last year's 'Goofer Dust'.



Sunday at The Bench is the 2nd annual Indie Hip Hop Fest. The line-up is pretty fuckin' weak. B.O.B. headlines, Mickey Factz will be there, Stacy Epps, I think I saw Newberry Jam w/ Catalyst and Ty-vicious in a 2 point font at the bottom of the flyer. Besides them, it's all a bunch of trendy swag 'hipster' rappers. I'll probably miss this one.

On Tuesday the 23rd at Cenci, DJ Dug Boogie and Floyd the Locsmif will be spinning and it's free for everyone. I saw these guys DJing together at the J-Live show and they held it down somethin serious. There will also be give-aways from Frank 151 of the new Grand Puba and U-God albums.


Friday June 26th at the Foriegn Exchange Cafe in the west end, Sadat X (from Brand Nubian) will be performing live with Clan Destined, Jawz of Life and more.


On July 10, Catalyst and Ty-vicious are having a record release party at the 529 with Newberry Jam and DJ Slim Chance. It costs $7 to get in, and you get a free copy of the album with admission.


I've heard some rumors about some upcoming shows including Tanya Morgan and The Bush Babies shows. I'll keep you posted.

Oh and I almost forgot.

EDAN is coming to the Apache Cafe on August 1st. OH SHIT!
