Blackalicious

[HIP HOP] Back in the game after waiting 10 years between studio albums, hip hop duo Blackalicious have refreshed their two-decade-long career. Their latest, 2015’s Imani Vol. 1, is a groovy powerhouse of a record that relies as much on producer Chief Xcel’s beat-crafting mastery as it does on Gift of Gab’s skillful flow and lyrical gymnastics. On previous records, the duo have worked with talents including DJ Shadow, Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine, and Cut Chemist, but on this one they stick mostly to their own guns, with the occasional feature from vocalist Imani Francesca Coppola. Where their seminal album, Blazing Arrows could be categorized as epic, Imani Vol. 1 is subtler, and by virtue of its title promises more, perhaps sooner, from the underground alt rap duo. Blackalicious comes to Buffalo Iron Works on Tuesday, January 17 with support from Lushlife.

$20-$25
