Rapper / Producer / Director & Freestyle Rap Extraordinaire of Dope Sandwich Records & Tapes, Savannah, Georgia’s own, Dope Knife is a multi-talented artist of Liberian decent. He uses his background as a formidable freestyle rapper, combined with his affection for off kilter beats and political satire, to form his own brand of Hip Hop, which he describes as “Dope, Dope, Dope.” Dope Knife’s newest EP, a four track juggernaut of dark rhymes and gritty beats named “Weekend at Brodies,” released on Fake Four Records, and was described by Savannah C-Port News as “introspective” and “vicious” in its delivery. The EP is but the beginning, however, because on the heals of “Weekend at Brodies” comes “NineteenEightyFour,” Dope Knife’s debut album, released by Strange Famous Records featuring Sage Francis, Ceschi, and many more.
Dope Knife will be joined by a stacked line up of Buffalo’s best including Chuckie Campbell & Black Den (Band), AbSalute, Rap and Destroy, Frigid Giant, Shuteyes, L Biz, G Premacy, & Mad Dukez and admission is FREE. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the first 25 guests will be greeted with a complimentary promotional package including coupons to local eateries and distilleries in the Buffalo area along with an informative booklet on all of the evening’s performers. You can’t go wrong with no cover, $2 PBR Drafts & $4 Tito’s drinks. So get to Mohawk Place this Monday, Feb. 6 and get down with your local hip hop/rap scene.
