DOORS FROM 7:00PM

“Debut jazz cafe show for legendary 90’s hip-hop group”

Das EFX is an American hip hop duo. It consists of emcees SKOOB & KRAZY DRAYZY, They rose to popularity in the early 1990s due to their affiliation with EPMD's Hit Squad. The duo gained critical and commercial fame with the release of their landmark debut album, Dead Serious, which highlighted their unusual rapping style which they nicknamed "sewage". Dead Serious went platinum and its lead single, "They Want EFX," reached the top ten on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, the Top 40 on the Billboard.

As their career progressed, however, Das EFX's once-distinctive and unique lyrical delivery became more commonplace as other artists, including a young Jay-Z, imitated it. Derailed by the popularity of their own style, the duo slowed down their fast-paced flow, eliminated the iggedy suffix and downplayed their cartoonish content on their second album, Straight Up Sewaside.

The rest is history...
