hip-hop

Those rhythmic scratches, the blasting sharp beats — on 2008's Sunshine Philadelphia Vol. 2, Germantown hip-hop trio Writtenhouse had a total late-'80s/early-'90s thing going on, echoing De La and Tribe. Their hot-off-the-presses new cut, "Mic Check One Two," hints that they've graduated from Midnight Marauders to Beats Rhymes and Life, harnessing slick jazzy keyboards and even-tempered rhymes to craft an introspective, mellow mood.

Fri., Feb. 5, 7 p.m., $7, with Slick Mantra, Scanz, Ground Up and DJ Cliff Moore, Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St., 215-573-3234, therotunda.org.
