July 5th: Team DILLIGAF CD Release Boat Party

There's a lot to explain here, and I won't pretend to fully understand it. I do hugely approve, though. It is no surprise to see SIN SIZZLE and Jibba The Gent involved -- they've both been working smart & hustling hard in their respective lanes for years now. This appears to be a WWF-style crossover mega-event uniting the Vermont and New Hampshire rap scenes for some debauchery out on Lake Champlain. In other words, this appears to be awesome.

Here's their official promo copy, since there's too many moving parts for me to do this justice:

#TEAMDILLIGAF is set to release their newest album Change The World. Join us July 5th at 1 King St Burlington, Vt to kick off on the party ferry. LIVE back to back performances by artists: Cause And Effect, Somewhere In The Solution, Brain Gang, S.I.N. Sizzle, Reese45 and #TeamDilligaf!

Boarding starts at 6:30 and boat leaves at 8:00 SHARP so get there EARLY. Boat gets back at 11:00 for the after party at Zen Lounge! (165 Church St Burlington, VT) Buy tickets online at jibbathegent.com or contact any of the artist directly. $20.00 Per Person.

June 12: RAP BTV Talent Show @ Metronome

Big lineup for a great price at Club Metronome on a Thursday night. The marquee is entertainment unto itself: hard to say whether the host being named "P. Alimony" is more awesome than a rapper named "Bar None The Best." Especially when both are competing with "Cheesus Mac God." The only way to be sure? Be there.

S.I.N. Sizzle will be headlining with a capstone set. There's a lot of great rap shows coming through this summer, but it's hard to beat this here as an opening course. See you at the bar.

March 20th: Brain Gang presents The Hip Hop Hullabaloo, Club Metronome

The Brain Gang crew is bringing a heck of a show to Burlington this week. Founded in Springfield, VT, the posse has been growing steadily ever since, so producing and promoting shows is a logical progression. (The "explanation" on Metronome's website indicates they might need to hire a copywriter at some point, though.) Brain Gang is bigger than the 802, boasting members in New Hampshire and North Carolina, but the bill this Thursday will feature familiar faces. According to the 7 Days listings, the lineup goes a little something like The Aztext, Bless the Child, FixHate, Crows, Mad Dog, DJ BP and host Emcee-T.

Best of all, this show is completely fucking free. See you at the bar.
