Verb! Pikahsso shows action on his birthday by teaming up with local photographer and homeless advocate Hal Samples to throw a party and collect winter clothing for the homeless. The party, at Samples’ studio, will feature performances by some of the best rappers in the D-F Dub, including Pik’s group PPT. On April 15, PPT will release what sounds like the strangest concept album to ever come out of Dallas, Denglish, which puts a British accent on Dallas hip-hop. The opportunity to hear just how well they pull it off is reason enough to check out the show. Money Waters, recently featured on Young Bleed’s last album, has a drawling Southern flow and is capable of great performances. This should be a good chance to hear what he’s come up with since his excellent 2006 CD, Swalhaggin. Romio No E has a nimble flow and creative beats, such as “Romio No E,” which samples from the Transformers cartoon’s sound effects and theme song. The Boondox, featuring KBFB-97.9 FM’s DJ Headkrack, put on a high-energy show, while Original Soul is on the opposite end of the hip-hop spectrum, performing chilled-out, organic neo-soul with sentimental, conscious rhymes.
