Upcoming DC Shows: Mos Def, Chromeo, Kool Keith, Clipse, Wale

Mos Def

Wow, the line-up of shows for September and October in this city is going to be insane. Mos Def is going to be in town this weekend at the Kennedy Center (don’t get mad if you didn’t buy tickets–I warned y’all) doing his rendition of hip-hop and jazz classics. Should be tight. Phonte rolls through Busboys and Poets on Monday night and Raphael Saadiq comes BACK to Black Cat for MN8’s 7th Anniversary celebration on the 25th.

October is going to be insane. Girl Talk, Chromeo, and Hot Chip take over 9:30 Club and my homegirl Lykke Li takes on the Black Cat on the 19th.

Much thanks to Lady Glock for helping compile the list.
