When I was dropping off DJ Full Frequency to get set up for the show, I was not prepared for what I saw. It was a frigidly cold night. I parked (illegally) in front of the club to load out the DJ equipment. I grabbed the turn tables out of the trunk and carried them to the downstairs door that lead up one floor to Jerky’s Pub. When the door opened there was a line on both sides of the staircase that led up to the venue. People were waiting to see Apathy. It was right there that I knew tonight would be a good night. I didn’t mind having to try to carry turntables upstairs, negotiating between walls of people on my right and left.
Two Shows In Two Nights. Monkey Business at the AS220. Special Teamz at The Living Room. Mortal comes out of hiding.
Rhode Island hip hop was in full effect this past weekend. I attended two shows. While attending hip hop shows seems like a natural activity for a self proclaimed hip hop fan, the fact that I have not been “out” in over six months makes this a monumental occasion … at least for me.
This write up won’t be so much a full blown review of each event. It will be more of a bunch of mini reviews peppered with scathing criticism, bordering on slander, of the Rhode Island Hip Hop scene as a whole. So sit back. Relax. Grab a tall, ice cold glass of grape Hater-Aid and enjoy.
