[HIP HOP] Baltimore-based Don “Height” Keech is the central figure in the hip-hop collective Height with Friends. Keech’s beginnings as a solo act resulted in a prolific series of three full-length discs and six EPs. But since 2009’s Baltimore Highlands, Height with Friends has worked hard toward building a more traditional band-format, seldom heard of in hip-hop, with live instruments and a truly collaborative approach. Last year, Keech launched the ongoing “Height Zone World” podcast, which is his first stab at becoming a host/interviewer and arts commentator. Height with Friends, meanwhile, performs at Gypsy Parlor, Thursday along with Little Cake and Jack Toft, Dr. Ooo, Short Moscato, Eze Jackson, and Passalacqua, as part of an event called Buffalo Rap Round Robin.
