Concert Review: Rhymefest @ Rednofive, 2/16
Rhymefest made an very brief appearance last night at Rednofive for the Collaboraction fundraiser. After the house DJ finally let the crowd's ears recover from a couple hours of way-too-loud music, the makeshift stage was lit. Some very besequined actors sang and rapped for a while, but then finally introduced "Mr. Che Smith" to the stage. Wearing a fisherman's cap and some shades, The Blue-Collared One got the crowd into "More", doing some call and response with the chorus before then launching into an unaccompanied freestyle. He wrapped things up with a new track, presumably the title track of off "El Che"- an autobiographical rap with a Morricone-tinged beat that sparked enough interest to turn everybody's heads to the stage. After he finished, he wrapped things up by thanking "Michael Jackson" (The MC wearing the over-sequined jacket) and disappeared with his entourage.
