The Being, Ivory Blacks, Glasgow, 4 Apr

Glasgow-based musical collective The Being bring us a showcase night of some of the best local hip-hop you're ever likely to hear. With sets from Gasp, Franco-American import Skribbo, Doonhamer, Supreme Taj and Bluhnt, Marrik Layden Deft and Respek-BA (performing as The Greenbank Formula), Loki and Butterscotch (performing as Detestable Monotony), this promises to be, quite simply, an absolute belter of a night. Going on the evidence of previous gigs, each set is guaranteed to contain at least one line worth the entrance fee in itself. Also featuring DJ sets from Dog Stevens and Glasgow legend Krash Slaughta, this gig offers a ridiculously huge amount of entertainment for the price of a pint. No excuses - just go. [Robin Black]
