Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

The Dude Abides

Frequently hailed as “Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” Devin the Dude is adored by industry heavies and hip-hop purists alike. Eschewing the chest-thumping bravado favored by so many artists in modern rap and hip-hop, he trades in witty, provocative and often hysterical rhymes. Brash and subversive, but eminently charming, he is quickly rising to the ranks of underground hip-hop’s elite. This Tuesday he appears at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with his Houston crew Coughee Brothaz.
