JOSE S. GUTIERREZ JR.: WORTHY HIP-HOP IN OLYMPIA TONIGHT >>>

Famed LA hip-hoppas People Under the Stairs will be on stage with Seattle’s own Common Market (Ra Scion and Sabzi) at The China Clipper tonight. This is a dope show put on by the homeboy Nicholas Harris of Ulotrichi Productions and KAOS 89.3 FM Olympia â€" Harris is always (ALWAYS) connected with a dope show and this show will be no different.

www.myspace.com/commonmarket">Common Market is fresh off of their groundbreaking show at Neumos in Seattle where they performed with a band and a gospel choir in celebration of their new release, Tobacco Road. Tobacco Road, an ode-esque offering dedicated to the beginnings of Ra Scion’s life, loves and struggles as shared through the eyes of the folks who hail from the Kentuckies, Ohios and other working class communities on this small planet. Check it!

[The China Clipper, Saturday, Sept. 27, 9 p.m., $10 advance at Rainy Day records, $12 door, 402 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia, 360.943.6300]
