Although hes best known as the voice behind the quasi-cautionary tale Because I Got High that stumbled out of stoners basements and onto airwaves in 2001, Afroman is actually a prolific Grammy-nominated comedy-rapper with a 12-album catalog filled with cannabis-flavored tracks. His most recent, 2009s Frobama: Head of State, included gems like Marijuana Malt Liquor and Smoke Two Blunts, a one-up on one of reggaes classic stoner jams. But pigeonholing him into his subject matter isnt right; the SoCal musician can handle a guitar solo when he wants to. Just dont smoke too many blunts before the show. If Afroman has taught us anything, its that weed can fuck up all our good intentions. With Faraca, Evergreen One & Todd Sykes. NICK FELDMAN
