THIS WEEKEND
Who says hip-hop is dead? Local rapper Approach, founder of Datura Records, will be performing his last show in Lawrence this weekend before heading off to the West Coast. Approach was behind the burgeoning hip-hop movement in Lawrence at the beginning of the decade that included other local artists Soundsgood and Archetype, to name a few.
Starting out freestyling at coffee shops back in high school in Kansas City, Approach honed his take on early 90s jazzy hip-hop, dropping his first EP in 1999. For
the past decade. App proach has turned this love affair with the mic into a business, creating his own record label and signing up-and-coming local artists.
Approach's final local show goes down at the Granada Saturday at 8 p.m. The band Pomeroy will be opening, providing their indie-
rock-meets-live-funk tunes to get the crowd grooving.
Hip-hop never died in Lawrence,but this weekend it's offering up a final serving of its greatest contributor; so don't miss it.
