PRhyme

It's been a while, but I wanted to let you all know about the incredible show I saw at The Crocodile just last Friday. Some local cats opened, a kid from Brooklyn held it down with fantastic breath control and some great punch lines, and then a couple of authentic hip hop practitioners took the stage. DJ Premier & Royce the 5'9" have worked together in the past, and now have recorded an album together, and are touring to support said album. Together they are "PRhyme." And as this dynamic duo, they share a philosophy and reverence for purity, and bring that to their music - and to the stage. Primo flexed his muscles on the wheels of steel, while Royce paced the stage like a panther, spitting to a sold out crowd. The best part was my cousin and I brought along his 14 year old son, who has a budding interest in hip hop, and was excited to take in his first live show. As far as fist shows go, this was a heck of a maiden voyage.
