SUMMARY:Blackalicious + Jahi & The Life + Antique Naked Soul - Fri. 2/
 14 at Slim's - all ages!
DESCRIPTION:\nBlackalicious performing their  classics and new music 
 from their highly anticipated album entitled \"Imani\" coming June 201
 4. Come spend Valentine's Day @ Slim's with Blackalicious and special
  guests - LIFESAVAS (Quannum) /JAZZ MAFIA / MYRON (Myron & E-Stones Th
 row) / KWEEN.\nSLIMS \n333 11th Street\nSan Francisco, Ca\nDoors 8 P
 M \nShowtime 9 PM\nAll ages\n\n\nIt's one thing to make enduring rec
 ords, another still to work with luminaries in multiple fields. Anothe
 r thing still to treat the rhyme not only as a piece of poetry, but to
  play with the aesthetics of language in ways that represent the voice
  as a unique instrument in and of itself. Blackalicious do all of thes
 e things, and as evidenced by the reissue of 1993's Melodica, they hav
 e been doing these things for years.  Originally released exclusively 
 on cassette, Melodica is being reissued digitally for the first time. 
 It's a vital document of the group's progression towards their eventua
 l position as lords of the West Coast Underground, Gift of Gab twistin
 g his words with aplomb, his lyrics more carefree than his later work.
  Chief Xcel's beats, meanwhile, tread the same funky, lighthearted wat
 ers as many of his left-field contemporaries, but everything on Melodi
 ca is coated in a murky scuzz that, somewhat conversely to logic, coul
 d place the EP alongside much of today's weird, lo-fi hip-hop. As an a
 dded treat, Melodica contains 'Changes,' an unreleased cut produced in
  part by one DJ Shadow, who joins forces with Blackalicious producer C
 hief Xcel to offer dusty drum loops and subtle, textured samples that 
 would offer a glimpse into much of Shadow's later work. In an era wher
 e hip hop devolves into half-baked facsimile with alarming regularity,
  Melodica serves as a reminder that the true school will always triump
 h over the bullshit.\n\nFor more information visit http://trueskool.co
