Swarmy Does Rhino Room Tonight!



Tonight sees "The Big Man of Sydney Hip Hop" aka Swarmy G playing at Rhino Room. This promises to be a dope show, with DJ's Dyems, Shep, Stivan Kang, Nixon and Kirk providing the warmup entertainment.

For the price, you absolutely can't go wrong - ITS FREE BEFORE 10PM and $5 after.

I have had the privilege of sampling a few of the tracks on 'The Appetiser' EP, and judging from what I have heard, this is a very underrated release, definately not one to sleep on.. so head on down to Clinic 116 and sweat Justin or Dave for a copy and introduce yourself to one of the finer MC's to come out of Sydney!

Im guessing that doors open at around 8pm, and the entertainment starts around 10pm!
So get 'a foot through the door,' and head out to Rhino Room tonight!

Also Grandmaster Roc Raida is doing a set at Breakers (The old Lerox) in Light Square tonight, alongside General Knowledge, Shep, Del, DJ Sum-1, Nixon and Kim Dezen. Entry is $20 between 9pm and 10pm, and $25 afterwards... (Looks like Shep and Nixon have their work cut out for themselves tonight playing at both shows)!
