CONCERTS & NIGHTLIFE
Húrra
Tryggvagata 22 (D3) | 21:00 | ISK 2,000
NYC-based rapper Zebra Katz takes on Reykjavík, bringing
his dark, minimalist hip-hop to Húrra for what is sure to be an
unforgettable night. The artist behind 2012 underground hit “Ima
Read,” Zebra Katz weaves together a profoundly modern mix of
Busta Rhymes, Azealia Banks, and Die Antwoord. However, it’s
useless to reduce him to comparisons—one really needs to hear
him to understand the primal futuristic sound he brings to the
table. Zebra Katz will be joined by Reykjavík rapper Gísli Palmi
and DJs Kitty Von Sometime, Moonshine, Kocoon, and Techsoul.
A true phenomenon in the fashion, indie, queer rap, and just
plain ol’ hip-hop scenes, Zebra Katz is a one-of-a-kind artist who
promises to put on a one-of-a-kind show. TC
