South Bay hip hop has never gotten its proper due. Since at least 1990, when MC Twist dropped gangsta boom bap banger Bad Influence, the 408 has given birth to a diverse range of underappreciated MCs and producers, from hyphy pioneer Traxamillion, to Latinx g-funk group Chicano Conspiracy. This Saturday, LVL Up pays homage to this history with a broad lineup of South Bay hip hop artists like SJ beatmaker Kai B.G., artist/rapper/Tarot diviner Señior Gigio, and Gilroy’s 1 AM, whose personal and vulnerable tracks are all about finding positivity in the chaos.

Good Vibes
Sat, 7pm, Donations
LVL Up, San Jose
