After building a buzz with several independent mixtapes during the early 2010s\, East caught the attention of his favorite rapper\, Nas\, who signed him to Mass Appeal. Several Billboard-charting releases followed\, including 2016’s Kairi Chanel and 2017’s Paranoia: A True Story. \nBorn David Brewster\, Jr. in 1988\, he started releasing mixtapes as Dave East in 2010\, beginning with Change of Plans. Several more arrived throughout the next few years\, including 2013’s Gemini. After signing to Nas’ Mass Appeal label in 2014\, he released Black Rose\, and Straight Outta Harlem arrived near the end of the year. Hate Me Now\, featuring guests such as Pusha T and Jadakiss\, followed in 2015. \nIn 2016\, XXL magazine featured East as part of their annual Freshman Class feature\, and the Kairi Chanel tape followed on Mass Appeal later in the year with guest verses from 2 Chainz\, Fabolous\, and Cam’ron\, among others. Issued just after East publicized his deal with Def Jam\, it debuted in the Top Five of Billboard’s R&B/hip-hop chart and scraped the Top 40 of the all-genre Billboard 200. \nIn 2017\, he issued the single “Perfect” with Chris Brown. The song appeared on Paranoia: A True Story\, East’s Def Jam debut\, which also featured appearances from Wiz Khalifa\, Jeezy\, and Nas\, and reached the Top Ten of the Billboard 200. Following the late-2017 release Karma\, Paranoia 2 followed in early 2018; guests included T.I.\, Lloyd Banks\, and Marsha Ambrosius. The independently released mixtape Karma 2 appeared later that summer\, just as the emcee was touring with Lauryn Hill. East wrapped up his prolific year with a hard-hitting collaboration with the Lox’s Styles P on Beloved\, which debuted at number 70 on the Billboard 200. The following year saw East issue the singles “Everyday” and “Wanna B A G\,” the latter of which featured Max B and the former Gunna. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n Like this:Like Loading...

A key pillar of the Reggae Revival movement\, Kabaka Pyramid carved his way into the Jamaican reggae scene with Rebel Music in 2011 with marquee songs like ‘Free From Chains’ and ‘Warrior’ featuring Protoje. His hip hop roots were evident in the lyrical style and hard-hitting beats\, laying the foundation for an ever-ascending career highlighted by the Grammy winning album “The Kalling” produced by role model Damian Marley.\nThe Kingston native\, born Keron Salmon\, spent many of his early years developing his sound as a part of Bebble Team\, a talented group of friends and schoolmates that would be the foundation of his independent label Bebble Rock. ‘Rebel Music’ was the fruit of this preparation and Kabaka’s career as a reggae artist was born. After touring Europe in 2012\, prominent producers would take an interest\, and hit songs ‘Mi Alright’ featuring Chronixx and ‘Well Done’ produced by Damian Marley would follow in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The ‘Accurate’ mixtape by Major Lazer’s Walshy Fire would see Kabaka collaborate with Raekwon on Be Inspired\, and classic ‘Kabaka vs Pyramid’ would become a staple for true Kabaka fans.\nAfter touring with Damian Marley in the US in 2017\, Kabaka would team up with the son of Bob Marley for his debut album Kontraband\, debuting number 3 in the reggae Billboard chart and number one in several countries on iTunes.\nHis hit song “Reggae Music” became Kabaka’s first song to pass 10 million views on youtube.\nDuring the covid pandemic Kabaka worked tirelessly and released the ‘Immaculate Mixtape’ with Federation Sound and also produced his first juggling rhythm ‘Victory Rock’ to great success. All this while working continuously with Damian Marley on his second LP The Kalling. Hit singles ‘Red Gold and Green’ featuring Damian Marley\, ‘The Kalling’ featuring Stephen Marley\, Protoje and Jesse Royal\, and ‘Faded Away’ with Buju Banton would see the 2022 release dominate iTunes charts in many countries many countries culminating in a Grammy award for reggae album of the year amongst many other album of the year awards on publications such as Irie FM\, Reggaeville and Riddim magazine.\nLive performances for Rolling Stones\, BBC radio 1xtra at Maida Vale and Tuff Gong Studios\, and featuring on Chase and Status and Lentourloop’s albums are some of the highlights of a stellar career. “An unprecedented blend of Hop Hop and Reggae to deliver songs of social commentary and black pride” Mojo\n$22 ADV/$30/18+/8pm Doors/9pm Show\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n Like this:Like Loading...

Hosted by Emerson B (aka LongStory)\, featuring a live resident band made up of Ashley Ickes on drums\, Michael Schuler on bass\, and Emmett Scott on keys\, come showcase your art to the community in real time collaboration.\nThere will be a sign up sheet if you want to perform. \nAcceptable performances include: rapping/freestyling\, vocal collaborations\, and spoken word. Remember that this is meant to be a live collaborative process between the musicians and performers\, which means that we will not play your tracks or be expected to play your songs. Performers can ask the band to play at a certain tempo\, but the music will be made up on the spot. Cyphers are intended to be collaborative freestyles\, so freestyling is highly encouraged\, but of course you can rap your original lyrics as well. \nCome with an open mind and share your talent with the community! \nThird Sunday every month!\n7pm\n$5 \nSupport the downstairs!
