First Tuesdays ’90s Night

One of several ongoing series that serve to highlight the range and depth of the Athens hip-hop community, The World Famous’ First Tuesdays events feature a hand-picked, specially themed selection of local talent. The March installment features artists highly influenced by 1990s hip hop. Performers include the versatile Son Zoo—a Space Dungeon affiliate and longtime Athenian formerly known as Warren Peace—and Trav Williams, a rapper, lawyer and activist with a focus on criminal justice reform. The night will also feature a set from local poet Mia Smith. Tuesday’s show will be guest-hosted by Athens MC Kaliko, and scene lifer Chief Rocka will also appear.
