Chicago-based producer Rediculus add to his “Masters of Conversation” production album series, delivering the New York area artist-heavy Punchlines and Parables, showcasing a litany of head-nodding beats and slick verses by the likes of Ruste Juxx, Craig G., Sadat X, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Sha Stimuli, Emilio Rojas, Brown Bag AllStar members Koncept and Audible Doctor, and many more.
To celebrate the release of Punchlines & Parables, Rediculus will be throwing a Brooklyn bash, with scheduled performances by several of the aforementioned artists, plus a few more, for good measure.
Though he’s been in Chi-Town, Rediculus has NY-area roots, and his production often hearkens to a familiar East Coast style, drum-heavy with soulful samples, while managing to avoid sounding dated. The result makes Punchlines & Parables “both a return to the ‘Golden Era’ and a glimpse into the future of hip hop.”
Scheduled to perform at the Brooklyn event will be Shabaam Sahdeeq, Ruste Juxx and the Brown Bag AllStars, with D-Stroy holding down hosting duties, and E Holla on the ones and twos, in what is bound to be a satisfying night for fans of lyrical MCs and boom-bap-styled production.
Birthplace Magazine is a proud media sponsor of the event, going down on November 19, 2011 at Club Insomnia at 1068 Fulton Street, in Brooklyn, and will be in the house covering the event as well.
