News from Triclops I (Hip Hop Hell):
On Friday, June 18th, Lomax Lodge hosts DJ Maseo of De La Soul. Vincent Mason (born Vincent Lamont Mason Jr, 24 March 1970, in Brooklyn, New York), is a rapper, producer, DJ, and one third of groundbreaking hip hop trio, De La Soul. He is also known as Mase. Posdnuos, and Dave had already begun a friendship when Mase joined the pair to form De La Soul in the mid 1980s. Through Mase's connections, the group met Prince Paul, who at the time was still a member of Stetsasonic. Paul then took the newcomers under his wing, producing their first single, "Plug Tunin'", in 1988 and helping to create the album, 3 Feet High and Rising.
Mason's role in the group is primarily that of a DJ, although it is believed that he has as much of a say in the direction of the group as the other two members. On a few occasions, such as Jungle Brothers' "Doin' Our Own Dang", he's stepped to the mic, and showed himself to be a capable, if lighthearted, rapper. Mason (who at that time was referred to as Maseo) was the one who did the famous laugh during "Feel Good Inc."
Doors open @ 8pm, $10 cover. Facebook details here.
