CMJ CMJ: Hip Hop To See
Freddie Gibbs
With a series of mixtapes under the belt and Str8 Killa EP released this summer, Gibbs can justify his #13 spot on Billboard's Heatseeker chart . His second single, "Oil Money" features several guests (including Bun B and Black Keys' Dan Auerbach ) but Gibbs double-time rap (see 3rd verse) shines on this slow blues groove. He typically rhymes just behind the beat, but for CMJ Freddie Gibbs is poised to the lead the pack.
10/22 - Glasslands
10/23 - Brooklyn Bowl
Jah C
His velvety smooth rhymes drips in retro soul, with warm instrumentation to cozy up to. The cymbals tsssst so crisply against the bumping fuzzy bass line... I mean, it got me swoonin'.
Fri 10/22 South Paw - Brooklyn, NY at BUST CMJ Party w/ Dominique Young Unique and Javelin
Sat 10/23 Santos Partyhouse - Brooklyn, NY
Sat 10/23 Public Assembly - Brooklyn, NY at Brooklyn Vegan Day Party w/ Jamie Lidell, Wild Nothing, and Marnie Stern
Dominique Young Unique
She's not competition for Nicki Minaj's rap wizardry, but Unique is another cutesy voiced yet precocious female MC (akin to Rye Rye and Santigold), who can hold her own. WIth a bit of dub, a bit of 80s Stevie Wonder samples, and of course at-ti-TUDE, she's fit to blast at both hipster dance parties and hiphop clubs.

NinjaSonik
These guys are the most punk rock of all hiphop acts I have ever seen. With a small audience at one SXSW show, NinjaSonik left the stage, got on the floor, and started a rap battle/skank dance/mosh pit with the handful of people there. The beats are thick, the rhymes are swift, and with a song like "Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant"- it's obvious they came to get wild.
10/19 - S.O.B.s
Psalm One
A female MC that is touted as Lauryn Hill meets Devin the Dude. With straight Chicago Blues beats on 'Woman At Work,' she got a heavy voice that's cool, calm and totally in control. She ain't playin' aaaiiight!?
10/19 - Rose Live Music
