About this Event
BOOMBOX returns [SAT.10/3] with extra special guests FATLIP of The Pharcyde [DJ Set] + Bay Area heavy-hitter CUTSO!!
An undisputed hip hop legend, FATLIP joined iconic west coast hip hop outfit The Pharcyde in 1989. In 1992 their debut album "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde" shook up the hip hop landscape with classics like "Passin' Me By" and "Ya Mama". Their critically acclaimed 1995 follow-up, "Labcabincalifornia" featured some of the earliest production work from the late, great J Dilla, including hits like "Runnin" and "Drop". Still working to this day, The Pharcyde has cemented their place as one of hip hop's most beloved groups. In recent years FATLIP has rekindled his love of DJing. His roots as a dancer are front and center as his natural ear for selection and beats show why he's at the top of our short list of MCs that truly throw down on the turntables. We couldn't be more hyped to welcome Lip back for another exclusive journey through his crates!
Simply put, Bay Area icon CUTSO can legitimately do it all. The 30 year DJ/producer veteran's accomplished everything from winning DMC + ITF battles with his crew The Bangerz, to producing the soundtrack to The Jabbawockeez Las Vegas residency + a full EP with Lyrics Born, all while crafting some of the most creative edits/remixes in the game and maintaining his status as one of the Bay's most in-demand party-rockers. Recently he's somehow found the time to establish the "First WAV Preservation Society", his own DJ/production education program AND start his weekly "Culture Shock" mixshow on LL Cool J's "Rock The Bells Radio" on SiriusXM. We are extremely excited to welcome our wildly talented Bay Area brother back to our turntables!

Celebrating their 15-year anniversary in 2021, they’ve gained a faithful following of music aficionados who all share one common trait: the love of hip hop culture.
Residents Inka One, Ben Diggin, and Mantron have created a signature sound and energy that is authentic, inclusive, and fiercely committed to promoting the culture and artistry of hip hop. For the past 19 years, Boombox has given Los Angeles a home for hip hop connoisseurs who understand the importance of the DJ. Since its inception, their mission has remained pure: to provide an honest hip hop/DJ-centric night that caters to the working-class crowd. No frills, no shiny aesthetics; just the music and DJ skills speaking for themselves.
Boombox has made an indelible impact on Los Angeles’ rich music culture and has helped introduce audiences to some of Los Angeles’ finest, such as Flying Lotus and Blu, while simultaneously giving Angelinos an opportunity to catch hip hop legends like Pete Rock, DJ Quik, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, 9th Wonder, Marley Marl, Stretch & Bobbito, Mix Master Mike, & countless others. Boombox is a destination for the world’s best hip hop DJs to come play the music they love; it’s as simple as that.
In a time fraught with division, Boombox stands tall as a Los Angeles staple where old friends unite, where new ones are made, and where all are welcomed and invited to experience a special night where the hip hop DJ shines.
