Final Motivate Monday showcase of 2014 celebrates some of the best in Boston hip hop
BOSTON, MA — (December 2014) Bring the year to a close with beats, bass and some of Boston's best emcees at Lyric Jones's Boom Bap Holiday, a special edition of Authentic Lifestyle's weekly Motivate Monday urban music showcase.
Legendary Hub hip hopper Akrobatik and Lawrence spitfire Termanology headline as hosts Jones and Boston emcee/producer Mark Merren offer up the perfect post-holiday, pre-New Year present — an evening of performances by ill lyricists with the gift of gab.
Cali emcees Planet Asia & Tristate (General Monks of Durag Dynasty) make an appearance on the East Coast bringing rugged flows and decades of experience and acclaim among indie underground rap fans. Jones, home for the holidays after moving to LA to propel her musical craft and career forward, offers up her signature brand of b-girl bravado and soulful, jazzy melodies, while M-Dot comes through with the cerebral rhymes that have earned him a solid fan base both stateside and overseas.
Lyric Jones's Boom Bap Holiday takes place Monday, December 29 at Church Boston, 69 Kilmarnock Street, Boston. Doors open at 8 PM and the show starts at 9:30 PM. This is a 21+ event with a $10 cover.
This year, Motivate Monday celebrated its third year of being a staple on the local urban entertainment scene, with the showcase taking place at a number of venues throughout the city, including Midway Cafe, Wonder Bar, and Church Boston. Motivate continues to be one of the few regular performance event series that gives local artists and audiences the opportunity to connect over good music in a cool and comfortable atmosphere.
In 2015, Authentic Lifestyle will continue to bring Bostonians who love the culture the realest, most original artistic expressions the 617 has to offer, hosting weekly showcases and featuring up-and-coming artists from outside the state, an approach the entertainment company first experminted with this past November during a Motivate Monday that featured NYC rapper Mickey Factz.
