Eight Gigs: Philthy Rich

Sat., March 12, 7 p.m., The Boardwalk, $20-$25

For what it’s worth, the Wikipedia page of Oakland’s Philthy Rich lists as many arrests as rap-career accolades. It’s the sort of detail that justifies the naming of his new record R.N.B.I.$, which more or less stands for “real is back in style.” His point is proven on the record, which is loaded with heavy-hitting tracks like “Broke Boy,” “I’m Feeling Rich Today” and “Buss Down.” All of which are sure to rumble the low end of the system at the Boardwalk. With multiple appearances from Sacramento’s Mozzy on the record, perhaps our local celebrity will make a special appearance? 9426 Greenback Lane, www.philthyrichfod.com.
