Thur, July 22, Joints & Jams

Yeah, we all know Sacramento’s emcees and deejays can put together a sick mix tape. But can they do it live while putting on an amazing show for music lovers? DJ Rated R (pictured) thinks so, which is why he’s putting together Joints & Jams. It’s a live mix-tape night featuring Live Manikins, Def Rockit, Random Abiladeze, ARG and Tais with deejays Nocturnal and Mr. Vibe. DJ Rated R hopes this show will spice up the hip-hop night life. Emcees will be given a classic instrumental tune to perform with, while the deejays mix the beats to smooth out the sound and get whole place grooving. Hell yeah. 1500 K Street, www.capitolgarage.com.
