Donte Peace’s most recent EP, Summer of ’97, is a nostalgic trip to the sound world of early West Coast hip-hop: Mellow, G-funk-inspired beats support his laid-back flow. He and a who’s-who of local rappers make this the perfect way to kick off exam week (or just “the week”). With Royce the Choice, Feezable the Germ, Francheyes, Joey Kash, Silverback Gorillas. Barboza. 8 p.m. $8 adv. 21 and over. MICHAEL F. BERRY
