In the last five years, Chicago emcee Serengeti has paired up with an interesting selection of producers and collaborators, including Polyphonic, Yoni Wolf (Why?), Owen Ashworth (Casiotone for the Painfully Alone), Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux, Jel and Odd Nosdam. His pairing with Owen Ashworth seemed, to us, particularly apt, as Serengeti's flow is akin to a rapped version of classic Casiotone tracks like “Don't They Have Payphones Where You Were Last Night.” He's claiming the First Friday spot at the Joyful Noise space. Take advantage of the record store while you're there and pick up Kishi Bashi's newly released EP Room for a Dream, on sale in the office/performance space/record shop.
