Stove God Cooks came thru Boston last night with a deep crew from the Boston area. The Yutes while billed, were a no show. The show Imo started late but the DJ was good and far better than listening to bum openers in most cases. My one gripe with the DJ is playing the artists who are performing on the bill music. Rookie move. The turnout was slimmer than I expected but performers rocked like they were at superbowl halftime show.
1st people up was Feed the Family, a solid crew of MC’s from the Boston area 4 in total and they’re very, very, good. Really solid performers and the tracks they played were all really dope. I got one of their new joints filmed below. If you get a chance see them live, and support their music. Teflon Hoot from the crew aka Bori Rock has really been on a tear as well.
2nd Al.Divino was up I felt his set fell short. Nothing against him Imo he’s a great rapper, but his set was marred with bad sound. The engineer was a complete failure and it really brought the set down. At one point towards the end of the set, he brought out The Hidden Character which was dope but unfortunately his mic was completely cut off by the engineer and you couldn’t hear a single bar.
The headliner was obviously Stove God Cook$ and he tore it down. He sounded great! Oh there’s a reason for that they brought out wireless mics for his set and it was 1000x better. It was essentially request night, he didn’t seem to have much of a prepared set list but he performed anything people shouted out. I was convinced he’d perform John Starks but he did not and I was extremely disappointed as I would’ve shouted it thru the middle east had I suspected it.
All in all a great night of hiphop for Bonafide and I, but quite long. My old ass dies from standing for so long. My show days are numbered… Anyway,
3.5/5
Peep the video of the show below.
