ince Legendary politi-rappers Dead Prez took up the mic in the mid-1990s, they have taken a lyrical stand against everything that drives mainstream hip-hop: the control of corporations, the glitz, the glamour. They rap about politics and social justice — at times to such extremes that they’ve incited riots. And, here’s a random thing: They’ve been also known to preach to their audience about being healthy, tossing apples into the crowd. So yeah, this is a rap show like none other. — LEAH SOTTILE Dead Prez with Q Dot, Real Life Rockaz, Jaeda and DJ Parafyn • Thurs, July 11, at 7 pm • Red Room Lounge • 521 W.

orget any ideas you have that hip-hop is all about gold chains and big fancy cars. New York artist Omega Jackson is a rapper — in that he rhymes. But that’s where the similarities end. Wayward thoughts and observations seem like they just fall out of Jackson’s mouth, and most times they’re layered with the strangest of sounds. With Jackson on the mic, this is an artsy kind of hip-hop that feels like there’s someone out there thinking about adding something brand new to the rap conversation, not just repeating what other people have done before him. — LEAH SOTTILE Omega Jackson with All Urban Outfield, Hooves, Fat Arm, Sales Wagon, Guttahface and DJ Ionic26 • Fri, July 5, at 9 pm • Carr’s Corner • 230 S.
