Dr. Who, Abu.chi, Sideshow, 1993, and Lo-Key Chops @ the Darkroom hosted by B. Vax 3.18.09

Headed out to Darkroom on Wednesday to see some of my Armory Fam perform live. Abu.chi, DJ Illanoiz, DJ MozDefinite, Recksick, and Custom were in the building. DJ Illa and DJ MozDefinite killed it all nite long on some back and forth live turntable styles. 1993 seamlessly blended their microphone mastery into a very high energy set followed by an impressive freestyle session. Abu.chi brought his raw Chicago-centric lyrics to the stage with a polished swagger backed by Sideshow's perfectly placed adlibs. At the end of the set Sideshow spit an acapella and completely murdered it. Dr Who was the final act of the night and provided a seriously live and commanding presence onstage. He was decked out in a circa WWI army helmet complete with leather jacket, Doc Marten boots, fatigues, and a pair of binoculars. Not your typical hip hop attire. He also brought an atypical style to the mic that was refreshing. All in all a good night. Shouts to every one in attendence. Jugrnaut clothing, B.Easy, Mr. Rogers, Presto, Lokes Cee, Witz, Dasee, Morg, Jessie with Fishbowl Media, Blunt Crew, Lo-Key Chops, and B.Vax.
