It's like Vegas fool. San Francisco and the Bay Area rappers, producers and DJs all get together for one good cause, to get drunk as fuck and make good music. Gurp City consists of hip hop pioneers such as DJ Quest and DJ Eddie Def to underground legends like Bored Stiff and Sacred Hoop to freestyle champions TopR and Conceit...pretty much every alcoholic rapper in the Bay Area of California. The Gurp Fam keeps growing and innovating rap music with artists like Trunk Drank, Z-Man, Fist Fam, Grand Invincible, Fay Dog, G-Pek, Eddie K, DJ Marz, Bullet Proof Space Travelers, Bullet Proof Scratch Hampsters, DJ Cue, Brandon B, Luke Sick, Iron Fist, Thuggy Fresh, 6 Feet Deep, DJ Mathew Africa, 4oneFunk, DJ Teeko, DJ Max Kane, DJ Mista-B, DJ B.

Degenerate rapper extraordinarie Conceit is playing a show in a couple weeks at MILK in SF. Rumor has it Eddie K is playing this show as well which makes for two times the Gurp at this must see show. So call up those cats that owe you skrill, break bread at the door and sneak in your own drank. Show is $5 bucks before 11. feel the love <3

No Gurp City groups are playing this event. However, Gurp City fine artist extraordinaire Matt Loomis has absolutely killed it on this flyer for an upcoming High On Fire show in Chico CA. Also on the card is sonic crushers The Makai, a group featuring ex-Gurp City roommate B-Huge on the vocals. This show is going to destroy downtown Chico. Anyone who wants to give Matt Loomis lots of money and make him famous should do so now before its too late.

Did you watch VH1s The White Rapper show? Its hard being King of the Burbs right? Well if you haven’t been up in the message boards for a while maybe you should go check it out. Gurp City homie Homonym, former MC/producer for the now defunct Davis hip hop crew Jaded MCs has recently posted a track he did with the man who is “…not a rapper” but is “an entity.” Apparently Homonym and John Brown recorded this track over a year ago when he still lived in Davis, go check it out and leave him some feedback. Meanwhile Lets hope that the “Ghetto Revival” prevails. As the Mayor of Gurp City would say John, “Get yo Paper Rellie!!!”
Ed and Z played this past Friday at 111 Minna. Thanks to DJ Stef for taking pics and proving once again that if Luke Sick shows up and isn’t performing he’ll likely be the drunkest cat at the show.
Here it is — the first show of 2007. Hope it lives up to the hype. Oh, and one quick clarification: There’s a Ghostface track in this show on which he raps over one of my favorite DJ Premier beats, “Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers,” but in my show-announcing haste, I accidentally referred to it simply as the “Crooklyn Dodgers” beat. Read about the difference by clicking here.
