Feat The Illersapiens (live) + DJs Gilla & Ali Gudgeon

First Word is back with Brixton’s mighty Illersapiens. Here to break the current wronged perceptions of Hip Hop as violent and sex orientated music, the vibrant 7- piece band from south London generate positive vibes wherever they venture.

Returning to the backbone of the culture, through addictive horns, drums and bass to uplifting and beautifully moving vocals from new soul talent Katie Brian (Rinse FM) the band hold the essence of a good party in their fingers. Instigator and rapper Mr Man completes this charismatic bunch with insightful, fun and high velocity wordplay. It’s no wonder then perhaps that comparisons to US greats like The Roots, Digable Planet’s and Arrested Development keep flying in from all corners.

6:00pm – 11.30pm. Free
