RVMIRXZ: (http://www.g59records.com/)

From Thizzler’s Artist to look for in 2016: RAMIREZ might come as a surprise to some because his successes have happened pretty quietly as far as the Bay is concerned. One look at his Soundcloud page is all it takes to understand why he’s here. The kid does numbers. The San Francisco rapper has a knack for making songs in the vein of artists like Three-6 Mafia, Pouya, and Raider Klan. He’s often rapping about 666, suicide and demons, but also has an genuine interest in anime and wrestling. Who doesn’t love Eddie Guerrero? He lost his job because he went on tour to pursue his rap dream, so 2016 is sure to see an even hungrier RAMIREZ – and we’re ready for his new music.

War of Icaza: (http://www.waroficaza.com/)
From Paper Magazine: War of Icaza is self-proclaimed Indigenous Mutt Music. Oakland hip hop, hyphy punk, and Chicanx culture come together to create a big fuck you to Columbus, misogyny, and colonialism in both North and Central America. The group puts on infamous live shows full of thrashing and feedback, but can slow down for more spiritual and tracks like the sonically lavish “Queen Of The Night.” Their official bio though? “Ask your abuelita.”

Drozee (San Jose,Ca)
From The booth to the battle scene, San Jose’s Very own Drozee known for his intricate patterns, infectious hooks and style filled lyrics over beats laid down from his in-house producer 408Biz. The perfect mix of underground work ethic, Mainstream appeal and night time cruising music coming out of the cultural cornucopia known as the South Bay.

A farewell to Chris Riggins featuring Talib Kweli (DJ Set)

A farewell to Chris Riggins featuring Talib Kweli (DJ Set)

What makes Riggins work as a comedian isn’t a shtick or gimmick; he’s more of a comic who happens to be black than a ‘black comic’ — meaning someone whose material mostly consists of racially-tinged jokes. He balances outlandish remarks (“do aliens have porn?”) with reality-based statements (“times are hard but no times are harder than time spent being a Raider fan…so when you see a Raider fan on Sunday… hug them”) and has a knack for saying things we might have been thinking, but didn’t say (“I think my new holiday tradition will be to go to as many office holiday parties as I can and see how many secret Santa gifts I can get before they realize I don’t work at the office!.”)

He’s not a big punchline guy or one overly enamored of elaborate set-ups. Rather, he adopts a conversational tone which engages audiences and gets into a flow which might contain dozens of small jokes that build steadily, rather than one big “home run” joke. Because of this approach, there are few dead zones in his comedy coverage area. The little laughs add up; their cumulative effect can be overpowering. When Riggins is onstage, you might just find yourself consistently on the edge of anxious anticipation, before breaking out into hysteria and doubling over with laughter.

Chris will be moving to Los Angeles CA next month and wanted to do a farewell show for the Bay Area. Alongside Chris will be performers Seth Byrd from NYC, local host Jay Rich, Anyimelik, and Brooklyn NY’s own Talib Kweli.
