The second edition of the Dat Gang events will probably be one of the more accurate representations of KC/LK hip hop that The Bottleneck, or any venue in Lawrence, has seen in quite a while. All the Datura Records affiliates listed on this flyer are more than capable of...

I made it out to Lawrence this past Friday night for the Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 show at The Granada. With Jason at the wheel, we arrived around 8:30 pm to see what was happening at the venue site and to scope out the crowd. Mass Street was full of stylish sidewalk strollers...
