CHI-town ghetto funk. Your ass will be black, blue and gaping wide open, kind of winking at you, after he's done.

Fil-e-blunt - (Ottawa) - Speed Garage
Some call it Gar-AGE, haters call it GAR-BAGE but if you can't dance to this stuff you're probably a bad dancer! With a funky mix of drum and bass influenced house music and 2-step breaks, you'll see why Fil-E Blunt is the big daddy of .. other littler daddies.

JFK w/ King Con - (Ottawa) - Rap n' Bass
ANOTHER Gratituitous booking by one of the promoters! What are you gonna do, fire him? I think not!

Imagine Eminem playing with LTJ Bukem. Then think much less expensive.
