Weekend Music Outlook

In addition to the highly recommended Tom Vek bill Sunday night at Schubas, there's also a couple of great shows on Saturday. At the Abbey, RJD2 is headlining a great night of underground hip-hop with openers DJ Relm, Glue and Ohmega Watts. I've raved about RJD2 plenty here before, but I'd also have to recommend getting to the show early to check out Ohmega Watts. Based in Portland, OR, Ohmega Watts is a 25 year old producer and MC (known to his familiy as Milton Campbell) who creates old school funky hip-hop jams ala Jurassic 5. Also on Saturday, Meiotic is presenting Eliot Lipp as a part of their "Your Formula Life" series at Tiny Martini in Logan Square. Lipp is a former Chicago resident who cranks out a delicious blend of electro and instrumental hip-hop. Click here for my complete preview of the show and the full details of the event.
