SXSW 2010: Friday hip-hop listings

monch.jpg

Friday night is a good binge night as the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament's opening round meets a fever pitch and the night's best showcases feature talent already doing multiple free day shows. Cut loose. The complete listings after the jump. If you don't have time to scroll, here are the night's top five, most essential shows:


1. Pharoahe Monch / Scoot Inn, 1:00 A.M.

Exception to the intro and a no brainer, Monch is excellent live, his catalog deep. He's a legend and thus far, this is his only slated appearance. Smif N Wessun, Skyzoo and Kidz In the Hall round out an excellent bill. Only downside: Scoot Inn is removed from downtown madness so be prepared to post up here and do little else.

2. The Cool Kids / Mohawk Patio 10:50 P.M.

On the other hand, if you're a wristband patron with a day job, the night's most buzzworthy showcase is at the city's trendiest venue. Yes, The Cool Kids sat on their 2007 buzz and today border irrelevance, but live it's fun and electric and you know the songs. There's also three XXL Freshman (Gibbs, Donnis, Fashawn) and white soul guru, Mayer Hawthorne.

3. Wiz Khalifa featuring Curren$y / Spill, 10:00 P.M.

It's kind of funny to picture self-serious lyrical dude, Lyrics Born, doing his official showcase at a sorority flagship. I'm also curious to see West Coast rambler, Khalifa, perform a duet show with a more talented cohort.

4. Theophilus London / Club DeVille, 11:45 P.M.

Theo is an ATG favorite, but the downside is his multiple free appearances. However, DeVille is a Red River gem of a venue, and if you feel like catching some indie pop bullshit, there's good music in the building (Ra Ra Riot, Neon Indian).

5. Looptroop Rockers / Club 115, 1:00 A.M.

On the international tip, a night of hip-hop from Sweden and New Zealand. Why the hell not?
