Sheesh! It’s been one hot and long summer -- is it over yet? Well, actually, no… but fall is banging on the door.
Psst! Psst! Question: What’s the new Thursday night hotspot? Answer: Level Thursdays at Atlas. Yes, Atlas, the land of a thousand names. It was Limbo, it was the World Cafe, and on and on. Forget all of that because the corner of 21st and South streets is once again knockin’. On the wheels of steel, DJs Reflect, Pranja, Meddafore and special guest Kani hold the reins. And don’t forget, microphone fiends can catch the open mic. Just be on your game because Philly is a booing town. Thu., Aug. 22, Atlas, 21st and South sts.,
meddafore@aol.com, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $3.
Phillyhiphop.com's 2001 Best Independent Label, Arrakis Records, continues to hold it down on with live show after live show. Rocking the mic one time or two will be Hangar 18 (Alaska, Windnbreez and Pawl from Atoms Family) alongside Adam 12, Uncle T, New York's The Understudies, Drac, Diz and Product of Environment. Sat., Aug. 24, La Tazza, 108 Chestnut St.,
arrakisrecords.com, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., $7.
Feelin’ fall? Here’s a lil’ preview of what’s to come. Missing DJ Big Rich Medina spinning hip-hop on the ones and twos? Since his departure from his residency at Fluid on Monday nights the fans have been yearning. Well yearn no more ’cause Rich is taking over the decks on Sept. 7 at The Bodyrock at Aqua Lounge. Awww yeah! Sept. 30 hails the ever-so-cool tour featuring The Beatnuts, Big Daddy Kane, Non Phixon and Cormega (yep, come see what Mega is really about). Sept. 19, it’s The Grey Goose Tour with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Lady May, Wight Ball & MJG, Lil’ Jan & the Eastside Boyz and Now City. On Oct. 4 the F.U. Center is gonna be jumpin’ jumpin’ as the Nellyville Tour touches down. Come on y’all -- somebody’s got to really like him, he’s sold 10 million records. Ha ha. Making the show all the more wild, Nelly is joined by The Big Tymers, Lil’ Wayne, The St. Lunatics and cutie-pie singing sensation, Mario! Oct. 5 welcomes the return of the Lyricist Lounge Tour with an all-new and kinda bootylicious lineup -- there’s Brick City’s Redman, Keith Murray, Onyx (yeah!), Mad Skillz and Words. Oct. 19 is the return of the Def Jux crew as El-P, Mr. Lif, Copywrite, RJD2 and Cage take the stage.
And that’s all for now. Get ready.
