If you’re looking for hip-hop this weekend, you might find yourself at Bulfinch’s Yacht Club on Friend Street, where the Leedz Edutainment empire is bringing in young new talent VICE VERSAH for a record-release party. Versah has joined with his Emerson-trained producer ARCITYPE to create some hot tracks that are burning up local charts. In typical Leedz fashion, the bill is rounded out by a laundry list of local flavor: ELEMENTAL ZAZEN, STIZ GRIMEY, MAG MUZZLE, BENNY B. Oh, and “and more” might also come by. Maybe that’s you and you’d forgotten?
