This FRIDAY (July 30th) it’s going down with a Tribute to one of the creators of the hip hop concert series Unity, Bigga B. It’s going to be an event you don’t want to miss. With performances by People Under The Stairs, Prince Po, The Visionaries, and many more. And DJ sets by Mark Luv & C-Minus.
“Bill Operin AKA Bigga B, embodied the very essence of unity. With his partner, Orlando, his relative/MC Chase Infinite, and Martin of Cranes’ and later Martins Records on Pico & Redondo, Unity was able to bring “underground” hip hop acts such as Wu-Tang Clan very first performances in L.A.”
“May 2, 1999 while in Arizona working with new artist Bad Azz, Bigga B suffered a heart attack. His legacy in Hip Hop lives on through the memories of the Unity Concert Series, the many artists he served as A&R for on Loud Records and all the resulting projects owed to his introduction of artists to one another.”

The Root Down was on fire last Thursday with Frank Nitt, Illa J, J Black, and DJ J Heart. I was coming back from NYC and looking for an LA party, so I hit the El Cid for the Root Down. I got an LA party with a Detroit twist that was bang’n. Line up and get your copy of Frank Nitt and Illa J’s albums at Delicious Vinyl. Get the lastest on Frank Nitt, Illa J, and check for DJ J Heart’s podcasts. She knows how to throw it down. J Heart- next time get that light guy to hit up your part of the stage.

The Root Down knows how to bring the people out, and is always delivering the goodness. This Thursday Aloe Blacc is in the house. You may know him from Emanon (Aloe & Exile), his solo album Shine Through, or from hosting the Do-over on Sundays. Either way you’ll be glad you went.
