i'm not sure what the age deal is at these places, which is always a pain in the ass. the peanut and the recordbar are probably 21+ and the lawrence ones probably 18+ (but usually in college towns if you're under 18 all you have to say when they ask for ID is that you're under 21 and they'll X you)... not sure though. alcohol is for the birds.

The Deep Thinkers are great. I haven't been to a hip hop show since early 05... Come to think of it, I haven't been to a punk show since late 05. Damn, I am out of the loop.

Ghostface Killah and M-1 from Dead Prez at the Granada on March 14th.

Hip-Hop producer/MC Jay Dee, also known as J Dilla, has reported passed away earlier today (February 10) in a hospital in Los Angeles, due to liver complications.

The beatmaker has been sick for an unspecified amount of time. His latest album, Donuts, was released earlier this week.

Dilla, who was a founding member of Slum Village and a member of A Tribe Called Quest's production team The Ummah, is best known for producing tracks for Busta Rhymes, Common, De La Soul, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, and The Pharcyde.

Dilla has more recently worked with Ghostface Killah, Kanye West on Com's critically acclaimed album Be, as well as Champion Sound with fellow quirky producer Madlib.

Besides Donuts, he released another solo LP, Welcome To Detroit, in 2001, and has another album dropping later this year on Stones Throw Records.

Longtime fan Pharrell of The Neptunes, has gone on record calling Dilla one of his "favorite producers of all time."

Jay Dee will be sorely missed. SOHH will be sure to provide you with more information as it becomes available.

His album Donuts was released a few days ago. it's all instrumental, i think.
