De la Soul

1989 släpptes deras kritikerrosade och unika album ”3 Feet High & Rising”. Nu 20 år senare så gästar De La Soul oss här i Sverige. För på torsdag så ställer sig Maseo, Trugoy och Posdnous på Göta Källares scen för vad som kan förväntas bli en minst lika bra spelning som deras konsert på Berns 2004. Till råga på allt har de den här gången med sig ett tiomannaband! Det tror vi på Urbanlife att Stockholms musikälskare ser fram emot.

De La Soul – Special 3 Feet High & Rising Anniversary Tour
Torsdag 10:e decenber, kl 21

Dead Prez deliver an important message

Rikard Rehnbergh reviews the recent Dead Prez concert @ Nalen

dead prez

Alongside the original rappers The Last Poets and the somewhat younger Dilated Peoples, Dead Prez must be the most militant and radical coming from the US of A since the days of Public Enemy and N.W.A.; since the death of Tupac Shakur, and Saul Williams sold out to a Nike ad. The duo, stic.man, M-1 and their DJ made a celebrated performance at the honorable and beautiful old dance palace Nalen (old nick name for “National” and the hang-out for the beatniks of the 40’s & 50’s) in Stockholm on a rainy, gloomy autumn-winter evening.

The concert starts in slo-mo, with a dreary sampled tune from the DJ (who’s replacing DJ Green Lantern) while he’s trying to fire the masses, which doesn’t really happen; but as soon as M-1 and stic.man enter the stage the roof sure enough catch a fire. Dressed up in jackets and T-shirts that read “Yo, MTV sucks!” “Wildcats,” and “Sankofa Warriors” (Sankofa was sentenced to death at the age of 18, despite his strong claims of innocence, he was executed in Texas during 2000, aged 36) they set the standard of the evening: very political and radical and anarchic.

With songs and slogans like “Obama, give me my shit back!” “We’re red, black’n’green, not red, white’n’blue,” “Marcus Garvey on my wall” one can see it coming – and coming hard!
