Germantown crew WrittenHouse has become one of the most buzzed-about groups in Philly hip-hop. Much of the excitement is based on their dynamic live shows, and tonight will be no exception. It is a celebration for the release of their debut LP While You Were Sleeping so expect the energy levels to be at its peak. The album drops on February 15th and combines the smooth production of Chris Conway and Kush Shalimar with the rhymes of MC Charlie K and hype-man Somersville Sleeves. Hopefully their whole album is as slick as lead single “Puttin’ In Werk” which has got me that much more excited for the release. The bill is solid through and through this evening with the additions of Kuff Knotz, another premier local hip-hop artist who released a fine album last year in BoomBox Logic on Drexel-run label Mad Dragon, and 84, the wicked combination of “lyrical warlords A.U.L.P.U.R.P.I.S and FATNICE combined with beat digging alien and dj BLAAK THE 9TH MAN”. BTW: You’ll also get a copy of WrittenHouse’s While You Were Sleeping with the price of admission. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7pm, $10, 21+ – Adam G.
