Digable Planets is headlining BRIC’s Hip-Hop 50th Anniversary celebration this summer. The bohemian rap legends are currently on tour observing the 30th birthday of their Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space) debut album. Southern rapper Kari Faux who just saw her debut REAL BITCHES DON’T DIE, will open for Digable Planets. The show is on August 11th at the Lena Horne Bandshell in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Fans can RSVP now. 

Kari Faux’s Real B*tches Don’t Die is out now on all streaming platforms. The southern rapper pays tribute to her roots as a Little Rock, Arkansas native with nods to predecessors like Atlanta legends Outkast. She has company from fellow southern dwellers including Big K.R.I.T. and the late Memphis Three-Six Mafia icon Gangsta Boo. Jazz Cartier, Devin the Dude and theMIND also show up on the album that was mostly produced by her partner Phoelix.  RBDD has R&B and gospel weaved into its tapestry but Faux’s bold voice is expectedly the center of the listening focus. Faux is performing at Summerfest on June 29th.
