Sat, Oct 2, Raashan Ahmad

Y’all know Raashan Ahmad, right? As the emcee for Crown City Rockers, the self-described B-boy has traversed the indie-rap touring circuit for nearly a decade, frequently touching down in West Coast hip-hop-hungry cities such as ours. While his group graduates to festivals, Ahmad continues to work the clubs with aplomb, bringing his sunshine raps to enlightened backpackers. He’s finishing his third album, so expect a few new tracks alongside gems from last year’s Soul Power and the Crown City catalog. With Pangaea Project and Tribe of Levi. Hosted by Old Ghost. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.raashanahmad.blogspot.com.
