W.M.D. DuBois and Rude Humanist are the two MCs who helm raucous electro-funk outfit Deathrow Tull. Their combined energy onstage is rumored to cause blackouts at unprepared venues, and get oftren reluctant New Yorkers to get temporarily over their fear of dancing. It’s only later on that they realize that they may have said something awesome as well: “I got lost in the heart of a riot with a sling shot slanging rocks at Goliath. He’s a ticked-off minute man, sick of being small time, looking for God, but the mirror had him cross-eyed. Got promoted and he learned the boss lied. Earned his wings and turned into a fall guy.” For more of such rhymes and some fun hip hop time, don’t miss the show at South Paw on July 17th – the band will be opening for New Orleans’ own Mad Conductor.
