BOOMBOX [SAT.9/5]

BOOMBOX is back [SAT.9/5] celebrating the release of "LA", the brand new collaborative LP from BLU & SNDTRAK!! Not only will these 2 killers will be rocking live & direct, they're bringing heavyweights EXILE, SIRPLUS, & JAY MIDNIGHT wit'em!

The first ever collaboration between these 2 certified masters of their respective crafts, BLU & SNDTRAK's "LA" pays homage to classic west coast sonics while painting a layered portrait of life in the City of Angels. Blu's sharp lyricism and grounded storytelling shine over Sndtrak's combination of dusty drums and classic sample flips. These 10 tracks of straight heat show why Blu is one of the most revered MCs to come out of Los Angeles this century and why Sndtrak is widely considered one of the most exciting new voices in hip hop production. We could not be more hyped to be celebrating the release of this heavy LP that's destined to be considered a modern classic!

Los Angeles producer/DJ EXILE has had quite a career. He burst on the scene in the mid 90s as 1/2 of Emanon with Aloe Blacc. Then in 2007 he teamed up with a young upstart MC named Blu to release the seminal independent hip hop classic "Below The Heavens"! Since then he's gone on to release 4 more albums with Blu, multiple albums with Fashawn, and a gang of solo instrumental projects, all while producing tracks for Mobb Deep, Jurassic 5, Snoop Dogg, Pharoahe Monch, Freestyle Fellowship, & countless others. It's always a pleasure to welcome the Dirty Scientist back to our stage!

If all that wasn't enough, we've also got storied beat-battle assassin SIRPLUS coming through to snap necks + first-time caller JAY MIDNIGHT coming down from the Bay!

Needless to say, with this much talent descending on Chinatown, this is about to be one for the ages! Rally your crew and grab DISCOUNT PRESALE TICKETS now, because this one's about to be special. Let's gooo, Los Angeles!

Since September 2nd, 2006, Boombox has provided a home for Los Angeles hip hop lovers to gather every first Saturday of the month and celebrate the genre’s most respected DJs and producers. Celebrating their 15-year anniversary in 2021, they’ve gained a faithful following of music aficionados who all share one common trait: the love of hip hop culture.

Residents Inka One, Ben Diggin, and Mantron have created a signature sound and energy that is authentic, inclusive, and fiercely committed to promoting the culture and artistry of hip hop. For the past 18 years, Boombox has given Los Angeles a home for hip hop connoisseurs who understand the importance of the DJ. Since its inception, their mission has remained pure: to provide an honest hip hop/DJ-centric night that caters to the working-class crowd. No frills, no shiny aesthetics; just the music and DJ skills speaking for themselves.

Boombox has made an indelible impact on Los Angeles’ rich music culture and has helped introduce audiences to some of Los Angeles’ finest, such as Flying Lotus and Blu, while simultaneously giving Angelinos an opportunity to catch hip hop legends like Pete Rock, DJ Quik, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, 9th Wonder, Marley Marl, Stretch & Bobbito, Mix Master Mike, & countless others. Boombox is a destination for the world’s best hip hop DJs to come play the music they love; it’s as simple as that.

In a time fraught with division, Boombox stands tall as a Los Angeles staple where old friends unite, where new ones are made, and where all are welcomed and invited to experience a special night where the hip hop DJ shines.
