As people’s papers dwindle, up jumps the swindles. You see, Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest was supposed to stop in Tempe this week while on tour. Thing is, the tour didn’t actually exist. It was just a scam propagated by some random schemers hoping to game on the promoters’ up-front money. Totally ghetto.
However, Blunt Club stayed sucker-free, enlisting the awesome Busdriver to ensure that the show goes on as scheduled. The nimble-tongued MC, born Regan J Farquhar, honed his complex flows in the heart of L.A.’s ’90s rap underground. Now in full bloom, he moves the crowd, spitting elevated vocabulary over charged boom-bap beats.
