Gifted Gab is one of the best rappers in the game, period. Her lyrics and flow are incisive, precise, even gravity altering. On 4/20 (ay!), Gab released her latest album, Cause & Effect, which only solidified her exalted status here in her native city. On “AND 1/Hurricane G,” Gab is out for blood. “He Gon’ Roll” finds the Central District rapper instructing a lover about how to roll a joint over a sensuous beat. Gab will be celebrating the release of Cause & Effect at the Crocodile, joined by San Francisco rapper and frequent collaborator Blimes as well as DJ Vega. Gifted Gab is the king and the queen MC of Seattle. Come through and pay your respects accordingly. by Jas Keimig
