Whether he’s suavely spitting over a soulful, candle-burning beat or escalating into his own fire, MH the Verb always appears under control. The ability to cruise when the traffic turns up around him and seemingly slowdown the system, skillfully hitting high performance while cascading over an array of worldly sound, displaying versatility. It may be Sunday, but he’ll extend that weekend vibe for all it’s worth. Tonight, MH the Verb will set the table for the unlikely yet ear-grabbing combination of hip-hop and bluegrass known as Gangstagrass. Milkboy, 1100 Chestnut St., 7pm, $12, 21+ – Michael Colavita
