From Prince Paul to Mayer Hawthorne, it’s been a banner year for special guests at Fresh Produce. Boston’s best hip-hop party caps off 2k10 with Brooklyn’s DJ Eleven of NYC party the Rub, who’ll have the place all steamed out after the first hook of his monster party jam “Every Freakin.”

Remember how your older bro told you Thanksgiving Eve was about going home to the ’burbs to catch up with high-school buddies? Yeah, fuck that.
