Pump Up The Volume

It's time for the internal rhyme. At midnight. That's right, Metro has announced a special midnight show this Saturday featuring the legendary Rakim, with support from Chicago outfits Primeridian, Que B.I.L.L.A.H., and DJ Intel.
Rakim's been talking up his follow-up to 1999's The Master for years now. (Almost ten, actually.) There was a brief, 2001 dalliance with Dr. Dre's Aftermath that went nowhere. There were other rumors, too, a holdover live album, and more promises from the man himself. But if Ra's doing shows again -- especially hype-tastic, under-the-radar shows like this -- then maybe it's finally time for The Seventh Seal to be revealed. Get to Metro on Saturday night and hear the answer from the "God" himself.
Metro, 3730 N Clark, Saturday, February 28 at midnight, $18, 21+
