Tisakorean, Diego Money, Texas Boyz, Yoshi the Plug [control room]
TisaKorean turned 11 the same month that Atlanta snap pioneers D4L released their infamously idiotic/gloriously goofy ear-parasite “Laffy Taffy.” This fact makes total sense when you listen to the Houston rapper/producer’s music – a chiming, chaotic vision of Aughts-era ringtone rap as pure pixie-stick id, with aesthetics derived from MP3 blogs and nascent social media sites. Most perplexing, this proudly adolescent voice in hip-hop is nearly 30. Of course, age is but a number; this is music for anyone who sees no meaningful difference between a stripper’s pole and the kind you’d slide down on the playground.Wed., May 17, 9pm -
