YIKES the ZERO Opening for The White Mandingos at KFN Sept. 25

Emcee/producer YIKES the ZERO is a low-key fella. He doesn’t go around taking every chance to promote himself like other rappers who are always waiting to retweet every mention of their handle. Instead, he unassumingly goes about his business everyday while continuing to create some seriously unique tracks. He’s nearly finished with the follow-up to his slept-on 2012 release A Kid And His Monster, and you’ll get a taste of what he’s been working on lately this evening when YIKES opens at Kung Fu Necktie for The White Mandingos, featuring legendary founding member of Bad Brains Darryl Jenifer, emcee Murs and Sacha Jenkins SHR. Also on the bill are hard-hitting, politically-charged locals The Might Paradocs. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $12 adv/$14 door, 21+ – Q.D. Tran
