Motel at DC9

Last night DC9 hosted a CD release party for Motel, an ensemble appropriately described as "the intersection of DC hip-hop with original NYC jazz." The show was remarkable. The MCs provided cerebral and socially aware lyrics well suited to the music, which was a superb amalgam of fusion and funk. I recommend Motel's new album, "Lost and Found."
