Come out to the Know tonight for Thirsty City, a monthly event featuring local hip-hop artists and touring emcees. Headliner Slick Devious of Renaissance Coalition has been hard at work on his forthcoming solo project, Casual Anger—a proposed 50-track album to be released later this year. The project will be Slick's sixth overall, and fourth solo album following last year's remarkable Portal. The Thirsty City show will feature all-new material from Casual Anger. Fellow Portland emcee Bryson "The Alien" Fisher, whose debut, hVil mVry, dropped last month, will open the evening, along with San Francisco rapper OneWerd, Brooklyn emcee Dan Dillinger, CTZN of Berkeley, California, and a DJ set from NorthernDraw.
