While the name for this event—a not-to-be-missed night for local hip-hop heads—might have been gleaned from a Twitter hashtag, Hello Future is bigger than an online social media meme. Including underground veteran Neema, radio-friendly up-and-comer Eighty4 Fly, silky R&B singer Lace Cadence and talented young emcee Sol, this hip-hop camp packs a whole lot of talent into an impressively cohesive outfit. And they’ll all be on site, repping tracks from their recent releases that just so happen to be some of the town’s hottest rap releases of the year. Look out Seattle: here’s a new hip-hop crew to keep your eye on. With Billy Patron. NICK FELDMAN
