Profile

Chances are you’ve already made the company of DJ Ayres, DJ Eleven, and Cosmo Baker, the DJ triumvirate/hip-hop historical society collectively known as the Rub—the crew’s long since been a welcomed local presence in a multitude of one-off parties and have their own program on BrooklynRadio.net. But their monthly Saturday night jam at Southpaw, around since 2002, is still the trio’s natural habitat. A no pretense bash where Souls of Mischief, Digital Underground and old school Ice Cube rule the speakers? Damn, today was a good day. — Amos Barshad
