Bustown's November Hip Hop


Last night Talib Kweli shut it down at Skully's. Even though the show stalled and Kweli didn't take the stage until sometime after midnight, the crowd was PACKED and excited. Energy on both sides of the stage was high and we got all kinds of classics (tracks from Reflection Eternal, Quality, and more) plus a hint of whats to come on his upcoming album with Cincinnati's DJ Hi-Tek (yayeah!)

Opening last night was local group 3RD (pronounced Three Are Dee). Being new to the underground Bustown hip hop, I was glad to see these guys for the first time. Great stage presence and dance-able beats with MCs who know how to hold and use a mic.

While in line to see Talib, I saw flyers for (all happening at Skully's):

- Ghostface Killah, in town tonight!

- Brother Ali and Evidence, who will be here on the 14th (Nov)

- Blueprint and Illogic (collectively Greenhouse)are promoting their new album, Electric Purgatory on the 28th (Nov)

AND... (fingers crossed) there was buzz from the guy who brought Talib in town that De La Soul might be here soon!

DON'T MISS THESE SHOWS!
Also, you can download the new Greenhouse album for free starting on the 24th. Check it out, here.
