hip-hop

The Monkees-inspired "Mistadobalina" carried his 1991 debut album, and "Clint Eastwood" made that Gorillaz CD a must-have in 2001. But Oakland MC Del the Funky Homosapien trajectory has gradually been slipping over the past two decades, thanks to some dull recordings and lackluster live shows. Regardless, fans still come out to get a glimpse of what hip-hop used to be.

Sun, May 3, 7:30 p.m., $14, all ages, with Bukue One and Mike Relm, First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St., 866-468-7619, r5productions.com.
