Tonight: Style Out in SoDo or Neema/Cool Nutz/Cancer Rising in Fremont? The choice is difficult for local hiphop fans. On the one hand, we've got Alpha P (classic and skilled pros), The Physics (hilarious and enthused), and a host of talented performers working the social movement angle of hiphop. On the other hand, we've got Neema (he's promised a bunch of new material tonight), Cool Nutz (from NE Portland, repping the deliciously dope King Cool Nutz), and Cancer Rising (the rumor mill says: new dance moves).

It's a dreary, slow Thursday otherwise, so we strongly recommend getting your game face on tonight and hitting up one of these two events. Unless, of course, you're down with the cold everyone seems to have. In that case, we recommend staying home and watching Bravo. We considered the Bravo option ourselves, but Cool Nutz is too cool to miss!

Style Out // Showbox SoDo // $15 // 8pm // 21+
Cool Nuts // Nectar Lounge // $10 // 8pm // 21+
