The Warehouse continues to bring interesting hip-hop acts to town. (Granted, most of them are from the ‘90s, but were not complaining.) Del first caught attention because he’s Ice Cube’s cousin. In the late-’90s golden era of hip-hop Del was a key member of the Oakland scene, rising to prominence with the legendary underground collective Hieroglyphics. Success has been sporadic, but rapping on the Gorillaz hit single “Clint Eastwood” didn’t hurt. $17, 9pm, The Warehouse, 1305 E. Houston, myspace.com/warehousemusicsa.
