ROYAL RHYTHMS: Prince Paul and San Jose native Peanut Butter Wolf celebrate the anniversary of Needle to the Groove Records at the Ritz

It’s been a year since Needle to the Groove hosted Egyptian Lover and Peanut Butter Wolf at The Ritz. This weekend, the local record shop is doing it again. Renowned producer and recording artist Prince Paul will be on stage, spinning complex alternative beats with a traditional hip-hop twist. Known for collaborations like Handsome Boy Modeling School and De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising, Prince Paul recently teamed up with Ladybug Mecca, Rodrigo Brandão and Don Newkirk to form BROOKZILL! In 2016. Paul is joined by Peanut Butter Wolf and the Bombay Bluesman himself, Aki Kumar.
