Prepare for a truly unforgettable night as one of Brooklyn’s most revered lyrical legends graces our stage. Jeru the Damaja, also known as the Original Dirty Rotten Scoundrel, brings his pioneering “hardcore conscious” hip-hop style to our venue this June.
A central figure in the golden age of East Coast hip-hop, Jeru made his mark in the early ’90s with his razor-sharp lyricism and unfiltered social commentary. Widely hailed as a guardian of authenticity in a rapidly commercialising genre, Jeru was famously dubbed “the saviour of hip-hop” thanks to his fearless critiques of the industry and its direction.
He burst onto the scene with the DJ Premier-produced anthem Come Clean—a track that quickly became a cornerstone of underground hip-hop culture. He went on to further solidify his legacy with iconic releases such as Ya Playin’ Yaself and Me or the Papes, which continue to resonate with purists and new listeners alike.
Don’t miss this rare chance to witness a living legend in an intimate setting. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just beginning to explore the roots of conscious rap, this is an essential date for your diary.
