Gifted Gab, Karma Rivera
Recommended
When Seattle-bred MC Gifted Gab comes to Portland to play a show, it’s a rare and exceedingly delightful affair. The artist’s witty rhymes are best enjoyed live, and she’ll no doubt be performing all the best tracks from her latest project, Cause & Effect. (She also runs a hilarious, take-no-prisoners Twitter account.) This Doug Fir bill also showcases Portland-based rapper Karma Rivera, who recently released a music video for “A Game,” a single from her debut EP Don’t Sleep on This. Rapper/singer Mal London adds even more vibey allure to the bill, along with heavily seasoned DJ/producer Rev Shines (of Lifesavas). And bitch, you shan’t miss it.
