One of Philly’s finest RJD2 kicks off the third leg of his tour in the city he loves best. Having come a long way since his mid-west start, former DJ turned producer launched his own label, RJ’s Electrical Connections, in 2009, starting with the re-issue of prior full lengths under its newfound name. A fitting home for his fourth LP, The Colossus, RJD2’s latest marks the tenth year of his career, making the album’s title befitting in chronology as well as sound. Far more grounded than The Third Hand, The Colossus is feverishly expository, coupling textured backbeats and tricked out rhythms with lines only capable of a true wordsmith or visionary. Infusing a number of throwbacks to his earlier work, the album’s thematic core drips innovation while staying true to its creator’s roots. Taking the stage with Break Science and Happy Chichester, RJD2’s set is bound to satisfy. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St., 8pm, SOLD OUT, All Ages myspace.com/rjd2 – Dianca Potts
