So the Marxist/Baha'i hip hop duo Blue Scholars from the Northwest is playing a free show supporting the Willamette Valley Music Festival. The show starts at 8 tomorrow night at the University of Oregon Memorial Quad. It should be pretty fun seeing as they've only had good reviews and every show I've seen of theirs has been good. Blue Scholars are comprised of one DJ and one Emcee bringing back the old school sounds of the 80's in a positive new way. They've opened for Kanye West, De La Soul, Immortal Technique, Hieroglyphics, Matisyahu, Zion-I, Gym Class Heroes, Flobots, Coup and GZA of the Wu-Tang clan. I saw them perform as an opening act for Michael Franti and Spearheard last summer and they rocked the house. They've recently joined up with Common Market (another Hip Hop duo) to make their own record label, who is also playing the show tomorrow night. I'll let you all know how it goes.
