Distant Gig Alert: Dead Prez at The Prophet Bar on October 21

Back in May, we told you about the greatness that is the weekly, Wednesday night, R.C. Williams-led Prophet Bar jam sessions, where local hip-hop and funk musicians gather to create beats on the fly, sometimes with the help of touring acts like Bun B and Raheem DeVaughn.

Still haven't ventured out to the event yet, though? Well, maybe this will inspire you: On Wednesday, October 21, R.C. Williams and crew will be joined by longtime favorite underground hip-hop luminaries Dead Prez.

Pretty sure they don't do advance sales to the weekly jam, so if you want in on this one, be sure to get to the Prophet Bar early...
