Eight Gigs: Murs
Thur., April 28, 6 p.m., Ace of Spades, $25
Roughly 28 years of hip hop is represented on one tour when Murs (pictured), Kool Keith and Mac Lethal come to town. Originally a member of Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Keith performed under personae like Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom, in addition to releasing nearly 20 solo albums. Challenging Keith for the title of “most prolific in rap” is Murs, whose solo career tallied nine solo albums, 11 collaborative records and numerous EPs—none of which include his involvement with the Living Legends crew of Los Angeles. As for Mac Lethal, you might recognize him from The Ellen Degeneres Show—which is pretty weird. 1417 R Street, www.facebook.com/murs.
