Temperatures skyrocketed into the 90s on Tuesday, but Brooklyn rap greats Digable Planets kept things cool (like dat) on Elsewhere Rooftop with a fun, funky show. Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler (who admitted it had been a long time since he was in Brooklyn), Mariana "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira, and Craig "Doodlebug" Irving kept the energy high despite the heat and humidity to deliver a set of '90s hip hop classics to a very enthusiastic crowd. JWords opened night with a short DJ set.
Photos from the show by P Squared, and video of “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” are in this post.
