THE BOOM BAP Nashville: Featuring EDDIE GEORGE

SATURDAY October 24th @ THE FIVE SPOT Nashville, TN – Spinning records has taken MetroGnome across the country, playing in venues in many cities and states, as well as backing up Grammy-winning artist Ludacris in concert and opening for hip hop icons Rakim, Ghostface, Lupe Fiasco, Eric Roberson, and others. DJ Topspeed, a fixture in the Indianapolis scene for 22 years, learned his chops in the early days of hip-hop, listening to intense Dr. Dre mixes and assembling his own. He earned his stripes in that most unforgiving of venues: the skate palace, spinning for years at the Melody Skateland.

SATURDAY January 25th @ THE FIVE SPOT Nashville, TN – As one half of the production duo DA BEATMINERS, EVIL DEE was instrumental in helping to craft the sound of classic boom bap hip hop. The geniuses behind Enta Da Stage, Black Moon’s introduction album, Smif & Wessun’s debut album Dah Shinin’ and singles for artists such as Naughty By Nature, Black Star, Eminem and Busta Rhymes, just to name a few. Da Beatminerz soon added their own albums to their catalog signing on with Rawkus Records for a production based project. The hard-edge beats were laced with hip hop’s finest lyricists to create Brace 4 Impak.

DJing since 1986, it’s safe to say that Bazarro has seen some things! As a member of Beatminerz Radio and Dysfunkshunal Familee Crew, Crazy DJ Bazarro has gained a rep as a host that’s able to rock the party and the decks at the same time! A skill that is not very common in this world… He works closely with DJ Evil Dee (Beatminerz) and has toured the world with artists such as Jean Grae, The Roots, Bahamadia and DJ Drama! Schooled for years in that NYC Boom Bap so expect this one to get CRAZY!
