Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Chill Out

Yeah, yeah. Das Racist are the “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” guys, the cheeky underground hip-hop act from Brooklyn who took the hipster cognoscenti by storm two years ago with their hilarious debut mixtape, Shut Up, Dude. Dismiss them as mere novelty at your own peril. While they are undoubtedly clever, humorous and entertaining, they’re also legitimately talented rappers, as evidenced by their latest effort — and first proper album release — Relax. Touring in support of that record, Das Racist drop by the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Monday, September 26, with Danny Brown and Despot.
