Hip hop duo from Sacramento, Blackalicious hit The Echoplex stage on Friday, August 2. Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel make up the duo and are recognized for their tongue-twisting, complex rhymes, and classic hip hop beats. Their lyrics are positive and spiritual rather than violent or misogynous. Joining the eccentric duo are Orgone and Busdriver. This lineup will get you up and dancing. Don’t miss out!
