Mandrake Mechanism - Monetary Artforms

All hip hop producers could learn something from this release.  One look at the cover and you’re not sure what to expect.  One listen through the album and you’re not quite sure what you just heard.  Mandrake Mechanism bring a stellar hip hop album to the table, drawing influences from across the musical spectrum.

Legion of Liars + Ceschi Ramos+ More @ Freight Street Gallery - March 7

I was perusing around the ol' internets one day and I found myself listening to two guys rap about a day in the life of a pokemon master. I passed the wealth onto my personal friends now its time to pass it on to my CTIndie buds. These two have a show lined up with Ceschi Romas , MC Homeless , H.W. , Brzowski and Riddlore at the Freight St. Art Gallery this Sunday. Not only will you have a packed rap set you'll be surrounded by some of the best Contemporary art in CT.

New England rapper turned backpacker royalty Mr. Lif will be dropping his complex rhymes on unassuming minds on February 25th at Toad's. Just being part of the Def Jux collective makes me think this will be one of the better rap shows.

Reakwon @ Toads Place - Nov 8th

Widely considered one of the best rappers of our age , Wu-tang's Reakwon da Chef will be at Toad's Place on Sunday Nov. 8th promoting his new CD "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.. pt2". If you're like me and have been waiting for this CD to drop for years then this show is a no-brainer. Don't know who he is? Buy his first CD (Only Built for Cuban Linx aka The Purple Tape) and get his new one and hear the sounds of quality hip hop. This show will be one of the best rap concerts you will see in your life time, no need to worry about crews taking up the stage its just a man and his mic versus you and your soul. Protect ya neck.


(video says its Ghostface but its really Reakwon this whole song)
