First of all, Rasheed Jamal is one of the most impressive and experienced rap performers in Portland. He’s got a rapid-fire, rhythmic flow, raw lyrics, and an intensely gated control in his delivery that’s both exciting and pleasing to the ear. According to his social media, he’s gearing up to release an album soon. As the show’s headliner, Rasheed is reason enough to head on down to the Jack London Revue. But with North Portland’s Mic Capes (who recently released his project Cold Blooded Vol. 1 on all streaming services) and rapper/singer/producer Mal London, this is sure to be a super-solid night of high-quality live rap and neo-soul. by Jenni Moore
