Frequency comes through with another certified dope event at Club Mighty this weekend. While hip-hop heads know Sean Price's legacy as a founding member of Duck Down/Boot Camp/Heltah Skeltah in the early-90s (extra points for anyone who remembers this), and... editor Club Mighty this weekend.

While hip-hop heads know Sean Price's legacy as a founding member of Duck Down/Boot Camp/Heltah Skeltah in the early-90s (extra points for anyone who remembers this), and his reinvention and strongarming of the rap game in the late 2000s, some names on the bill might not be as familiar. But if previous concerts by Black Milk and the Beat Junkies haven't made it apparent, Frequency is a brand that you can trust.

Bay heads should better be up on Moe Green. The young homey from Vallejo has been going for the kill since the release of his Rocky Maivia: Non Title Match, quickly establishing himself as one of the Bay's sharpest lyricists and live entertainers.

Danny Brown first stepped on most folks' radar on Dilla's posthumous Jay Stay Paid on "Dilla Bot vs. The Hybrid," leaving a mark with his ridiculous lyrics and flow. He's been compared to ODB for his absurd lyrics, hilarious punchlines ("I'm a pirate with the pyrex / might fuck a bitch raw, Magic ain't die yet") and sometimes odd delivery. Obviously, we fucks with the dude. This may or may not be his Bay Area debut.

Last but not least is Quelle Life of Crown Nation (not to be confused with the other Qwel). He and partner Denmark Vessey dropped the highly slept-on Slut Bag Edition late last year (which we were supposed to review; our sincerest apologies, Denmark). Quelle's since dropped his solo project, Blue Mondays. In Detroit tradition, Quelle produces and spits raw and witty gems with a Golden Era gleam. He's def one to look out for.

They hit Club Mighty in SF on Nov. 20 with Oakland Faders' Joe Quixx and host Fran Boogie

Of course, the only way to do something is to do it right, and they're setting things off proper with their premier event this Friday, Oct. 15 at Club Mist.

In 2008, not only did the Detroit emcee and producer drop his third album to much acclaim, he also produced the entirety of Slum Village member Elzhi's The Preface and dropped a collaborative album with fellow Detroit rapper Fat Ray. He's spent the time since meticulously crafting his fourth full-length, Album of the Year, which just dropped Sept. 14 on Fat Beats/Decon.

While naming your project Album of the Year may seem like a bold proclamation, those familiar with Black Milk's work know that it just might be true. He's helped shape the gritty Motor City Sound through bruising bangers that some say evoke Dilla's ghost, and traded verses with lyrical heavyweights like Royce Da 5'9" and Elzhi.

Black Milk will celebrate the release of Album of the Year with his first performance in San Francisco ever, accompanied with a live band, for VTech Phones' new monthly get-down, Frequency. This Detroit edition also features Elzhi and DJ House Shoes. It goes without saying...but this is gonna be a dope show. Ticket info, flyer, videos and downloads below.

It's a powerful record that takes listeners on a journey, told from the perspective of a working-class immigrant disillusioned by the American dream. A nomad himself, Nomi's roots stretch to Minneapolis and Brooklyn, where he set up shop with former crews Oddjobs and Kill the Vultures. He toured the world and had a fleeting affair with the rap life before hanging it all up to serve a greater purpose.

"I was empty hustling in New York," he said in a 2008 interview with Hyphen magazine. "At the end of the day, being more active in my community and fighting for social justice is more fulfilling than getting your ego stroked." Now a moving force in San Francisco's Filipino American community, Nomi works as a community organizer and teacher at the Filipino Community Center.

It's truly an honor for Oh Dang! to celebrate the release of Remittances on June 4 at Pier 23 Cafe in SF. Featuring performances by Power Struggle (Nomi with Kiwi, Bwan, Pele, Mister Rey, and Saico), Denizen Kane, Dirty Boots, Otayo Dubb and the Counterparts with DJ Wonway on the tables. See below for full details and download tracks from Remittances.
