Pharoahe Monch is of one of those REAL MCs you listen to and realize that THEY ARE HIP HOP as they represent its true essence in the purest form. His various flows, conscious as well as purposefully “demented” lyrics are off the charts. He is also a true entertainer who knew how to hype up this West Coast DragonFly crowd with Tupac and NWA references and classic West Coast tracks/beats spun by his fast Jazzy Jeff reminiscent DJ Revolution. Pharoahe Monch confirmed that REAL Hip Hop is not dead and old school MCs are still relevant and get better with time with his upcoming album which he promoted by performing new songs as well as classic tracks such as “Simon Says” and “Oh No” now a tribute to Nate Dogg (RIP).

9TH WONDER & RAPSODY, DRAGONFLY, LOS ANGELES (CA), JUNE 25TH 2014
REAL Hip Hop DJ/Rapper/Producer 9th Wonder graced us with his presence and Baritone voice at the DragonFly with his new Protégé Rapsody who seems like a Black Female version of Eminem with conscious lyrics from the Zulu Nation. 9th Wonder started the show off by bangin’/mixin’ classic 90s Hip Hop joints from the Biggies to the Wus to the Nas to clearly define the era he stems from, as well as old school 70s R&B joints to the delight of the crowd, his signature Hip Hop/R&B mix. I was very surprised and enchanted by female MC Rapsody who’s a true lyricist that can hold her own amongst the best of her male peers, her flow, lyrics and delivery are incredible, and she goes from sexy to conscious to funny to straight battlin’. Great show!
