Sat, Oct 9, Chino XL

This Saturday, you’ll of course be stopping by the SN&R Sammies Block Party & Music Extravaganza (see page 51). And while there are some cool Sammies official afterparties, it wouldn’t hurt to cruise over to Blue Lamp for Chino XL’s set. Mahtie Bush, who’s hosting the show, linked to a You Tube clip of Chino freestyling, which is a jaw dropper; I guess they call him Lyrical Jesus, and I would have to agree that he is at least a Battling Buddha. With Super Smash Bros (a.k.a. Mahtie Bush, Mic Jordan and Old Ghost), Major League Spittaz, Task1ne, DJ Joey Lisp and hosted by Bush. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.myspace.com/chinoxl.
