Lo-Fi in Hi Fi: Shawty Pimp's "...Still Comin' Real"

Join us on Thursday, August 28th for the latest event in our Lo-Fi in Hi-Fi series. This month, we're celebrating Shawty Pimp's 1995 underground classic "...Still Comin' Real" with an album listening and a conversation with the artist.

1995 was a prolific year for Shawty Pimp who released more than a dozen underground tapes in the early to mid nineties. In contrast to the rising crunk sound of the time, Pimp carved out his own lane as a producer and rapper. Drawing from a deep well of samples, he combined hard hitting Memphis flows and lyrics with laid back and hypnotic productions you can drive slow to. In the age of the internet, access to Shawty Pimp’s previously hard to find catalog has led to its rediscovery, renewed appreciation and some long overdue recognition for Shawty Pimp as one underground Memphis rap’s pioneers.

As always, this event is free and open to the public, so we suggest showing up a little early to secure a seat!

***This event will replace the previously scheduled event for Children of the Corn's "The Single"***
