Milo
With scallops hotel, CRASHprez.
The work of Milo, real name Rory Ferreira, is not made to be packed nicely into any archetypes or genres. Now a Mainer, the Milwaukee-born emcee has a style that embodies the dark and sparse writings of underground rap’s finest as much as it stands on the shoulders of famous philosophers. He’s also really come into his own on his latest LP, who told you to think??!!?!?!?!, which features lines like “The auto-tune clamor of modernity/On auto-pilot for an eternity,” over syncopated percussion and airy synths. Milo will also be joined by his other similar (but jazzier) solo project scallops hotel, as well as recent Madison-departee CRASHprez, whose heady raps are similar to Milo’s but march to a more straightforward beat.
$12 ($10 adv.; ages 18+).
