Not one, not two, but three of the brightest stars of the US hip-hop underground are preparing to hit Hanoi this month as C.A.M.A. Vietnam presents the Weirdo Heroes Tour. Featuring acclaimed LA rhymer Busdriver, New York alt-rap superstar Louis Logic and folk-hop icon Ceschi, the tour brings these three MCs together in Asia for the first time — at Chez Xuan, the open-air restaurant up in An Duong.
Busdriver’s been big in the scene since his first album launch at 13 years old and Louis Logic has collaborated with Jedi Mind Tricks and MF Doom as well as releasing seven solo albums/eps. Transcending the old-school world of beats and rhymes, singer, MC, and multi-instrumentalist Ceschi is said to take hip-hop beyond its roots in a unique blend of hard hitting hip-hop, urban folk and even classical — something that could be interesting for the open minded peeps in Hanoi.
For more info, visit camavietnam.org or see their Facebook page. Tickets are VND200,000 on the door and early birds will get free Jim Beam and coke. Put it in the diary — Friday, Oct. 28 at 8pm to 2am
