Up-and-coming local emcee, Mic Stewart is opening up for southern rappers Big Sant, Slim Thug and Big K.R.I.T. tonight at The Blockley. The 22-year-old rapper has been working hard at his craft for 10 years now, and is quickly becoming one of the most prominent figures in the Philly hip hop scene. Stewart’s accomplishments include sharing the stage with Inspectah Deck, opening for the Legendary Roots Crew and Earth, Wind & Fire, and receiving regular radio play on 100.3 the Beat and Hot 107.9. Most recently, Mic Stew won the national Red Bull “EmSee Competition” in May, which was judged by headliner Big K.R.I.T., DJ Premier (of Gang Starr) and David Banner. He was also awarded $10,000 and the opportunity to collaborate with the producer of his choice at the Red Bull Studio in Los Angeles as well as some serious bragging rights. So come out and witness Stewart’s energetic live show before he drops his first official album, All Good Things, this spring. The Blockley, 3801 Chestnut St., 9 pm, $20, 21+ (Jeremy Deputat) – Dan Brightcliffe
