Poor, this past Saturday at Capitol Garage for the release of his latest CD, Rayz.
Courtesy of Sacramento N&R

Dueling hip-hop: Does the local hip-hop scene feud? Answer: Dunno. But there were two legit hip-hop CD-release shows this past Saturday, and both drew from the same crowds. Got beef? Anyway, I stretched myself thin and hit up both shows: Poor’s Rayz release this past Saturday night at Capitol Garage (1500 K Street); and a few blocks east, Blee’s Full Course Meal drop at The Distillery (2107 L Street). At Cap Garage, Plush Lush, wearing a Neighborhood Watch T-shirt and a Toronto Blue Jays ball cap, opened Poor’s party, DefEye also on the mic and DJ Admant serving up beats and scratch. Plush Lush fired off rhymes while DefEye wrapped the mic cord around his arm and backed him up. The crowd’s energy hit peak during “Word Life,” everyone hopping to Plush’s flow: “I’m like the hip-hop version of Lee Scratch Perry / Got an ear for the classics and the weed sack heavy.” Notice how hip-hop shows have way better intermission music than rock gigs? Case in point: DJ Kool Kuts busted out “U Can’t Touch This,” Random Abiladeze pantomimed, and the in-between sounds were more entertaining than most local bands’ sets. C Plus never showed up to perform—trapped in Stockton at Lupe Fiasco?—so the man of the hour, Poor, took the stage next. And Poor has serious flow. He raps with a big smile, his long, braided hair dropping down over his Ferrari-red jacket’s shoulders. And his lyrics come fast, automatic, but still dynamic. “I see the mark of Lucifer on state buildings / I can’t walk past the Capitol without catching a funny feeling” he raps, shuffling back and forth to an organic beat of clankety high-hat taps, deep bass bumps and a cool, dirty organ run. Fellow Tribesmen and Kool Kuts assisted, and the crowd of more than 125 people responded with heart. Later, over at The Distillery ’round midnight, it was a different vibe: Replace Capitol Garage’s bright, Technicolor décor—complete with Musical Charis band photos by Monkpond—with Distillery’s prime-rib-and-spaghetti, dim mafia-summit ambience. But the scene at the Full Course Meal release too was strong. Local rapper and KUMS.fm host Bloe was onstage shooting off to a remix of the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy,” rapping under a dim red light, flanked by the likes of Jae Synth and the other man of the hour, Blee, who interjected and emceed the night, sporting white-rim glasses, a knit cap and a letterman’s jacket. The beats, by DJ Flow, were a bit wobblier and glossier than the sounds over at Cap Garage, but this disparity is the only difference between the two scenes: Distillery a bit more cocktail, Garage more conscious. No feud. No beef. Would’ve been sick to bring both shows under one roof, yeah? (Nick Miller)

Jennie's update:
We don't have the definite date. So far we are planning to have a show at People's Park in Berkeley to raise awareness (and lawyer funds) for the struggle to get back the Native American remains from U.C. Berkeley and to stop "development" at Glen Cove. Glen Cove is a Sacred Sight and burial ground outside of Vallejo, CA that the government is proposing to rip up and turn into a 3 mile recreational park. We are asking that they let the ancestors rest in both aspects: let the remains at U.C. Berkeley be returned to their tribes for a proper burial and leave the burial grounds at Glen Cove alone. So far on the list of artists that have agreed to help out if their schedule allows are:
Mystic
Cihuatl-Ce
Savage Family
Tribe Of Levi
Mahtie Bush

and possibly Brown Buffalo
We have an INCREDIBLE line up of artists and this is sure to have a good turnout.
We still need to get a connection with someone with sound equiptment. If anyone can help on that I would be grateful! We still would like to get in touch with a local drum and dancers to do a blanket dance (possibly before and after the other performers). I have an awesome team of people helping me with the details and I want to thank all involved, this project means a lot to me and a lot of other people. I will keep you all posted as I find out more information and will get a date set as soon as possible as I know you are all busy people. Thanks again! Peace, Love and blessings like rain, Jennie

Poor will be playing a show in Chico, Ca. on March 2nd, 2009 w/ Tech N9ne & more! The first person to find out the venue wins a copy of the "Levity" mixtape! The hunt starts now...

The last few Tribe of Levi performances have been with a live band. The dynamic is different and allows us to have a more versitile performance. We are also intending to play shows without the band for the same reason. But when we do play with the band on the drumkit we have Chris "CB" Baxter, on the congas we have Nasir Imani, on the bass guitar we have Terry "Rick" James, on rhythm guitar we have Brannon, on the lead guitar we have Paul Cole, and on the turntable we have DJ Filth. Come out to a show to see us in action!
