Man, lets hit the rewind button and take a fantastic voyage back to the G-funk era with the all-powerful pairing of two superhero MC's in their own right: Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truth Speaker will rock the house as Latyrx tonight at the Crocodile. These dudes are some of the forgotten gems of 90's California hip-hop, each possessed of a distinctive voice and flow all their own. With only one record together as Latyrx, we can only hope they'll be dusting off a few of their respective solo tunes as well. The coversational rasp of Lyrics Born playing the perfect foil to Lateef's dizzying verses, grounded by beats that sound like a young funk band rehearsing next door to your apartment, rattling the drywall at an ungodly hour and keeping you awake. Two of the Bay Area's finest come to bring the party with none of the pretense.

Doors at 8pm. Tickets are $15 ($18 w/ fees).
