206 Degrees and RisingSunday, May 18By Kevin CappPublished on May 15, 2008 at 5:05amBesides a clever title, the 206 Degrees and Rising tour features a busload of Seattle hip-hop talent. See, in case you haven't heard, there's something happening heresomething steaming in the underground rhymesayers' lairs in a part of the country heretofore known only for incessant rain, big planes, dirty rock, and rich white people. Organized by Sportin' Life's DeVon Manier and Ian Waller, aka Kublakai (also a performer), the pavement-pounding event will hit at least eight cities throughout the Northwest, bringing the wide and varied styles (and that's the thing about the sceneno one sound dominates, let alone defines, it) of Cancer Rising, D. Black, Neema, JFK of Greyskul, and a rotating cast of local MCs, DJs, and hosts in venues across the slate-gray Pacific Northwest. Tonight's the kickoff. Be there. High Dive, 513 N. 36th St., 632-5656. 9 p.m. $8. KEVIN CAPP
