There's some huge bash happening this weekend in Browns Addition, and apparently its FREE!

Since I'm a real shit of a blogger, why don't you check out a real journalistic play by play on the action over at the Som Show.

Can't Wait?

Can't wait till Sunday for that hip hop? Tonight, there's even more hip hop to satisfy your cravings!

The Best Hip Hop Show That's Ever Hit Spokane (part 3)

Up next in the dopest of the dope Spokane hip hop shows: Aceyalone. He wears many a hat, as a founding member of the legendary LA crew Freestyle Fellowship, as a solo artist (most outstandingly the highly acclaimed All Balls Don't Bounce), and as a partner in different groups (Aceyalone & RJD2, Haiku D'Etat with Myka 9 and Abstract Rude, the A-Team with Abstract Rude). The man is an underground hip hop legend.

His new record mixes hip hop and doo-wop and is hands down the best hip hop I've heard all year:

Aceyalone - the Lonely Ones

Sunday May 10: Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Myka 9, NoCanDo, DJ Drez and Raashan Ahmad at the BLVD for ages 18 and up.

The Best Hip Hop Show That's Ever Hit Spokane (part 2)

Part two of our series (of the dopest hip hop show ever to hit Spokane) brings us to Abstract Rude, a Los Angeles veteran representing Abstract Tribe Unique. He just released a new record on Rhymesayers produced soley by Vitamin D of Seattle. Hot fire.

Sunday May 10: Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Myka 9, NoCanDo, DJ Drez and Raashan Ahmad at the BLVD for ages 18 and up.

The Best Hip Hop Show That's Ever Hit Spokane (part 1)

Here's my contention: that this upcoming Sunday's hip hop show is the strongest Spokane (hip hop) show from start to finish that I can think of (please correct me if I'm wrong). This will be a multiple entry post because there is so much ground to cover. So let's start it off with the opener:

Rashaan Ahmad: We've talked about him a few times before. One of the nicest, most down to earth, dopest emcees around from Oakland, California. Here's the new single from Raashan and his crew the Crown City Rockers:

Crown City Rockers: Body Rock

Sunday May 10: Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Myka 9, NoCanDo, DJ Drez and Raashan Ahmad at the BLVD for ages 18 and up.

Ariving from Siberia Just Moments Ago

The Red Elvises are taking North America by storm. Formed in 1995 by two Russian political refugees, the Red Elvises play old fashioned rock and roll tinged by the surf of California and the ethnic taste of their motherland. Should be awesome.

Monday May 4: The Red Elvises and Geoff Johnson at the BLVD. 21+
