Mad Lit: Ted Park, Rob Dz, Sincere Life, Dash at 100 Block Of State Street
An illustration by Shaysa Sidebottom shows multi-colored images of a keyboard, a turntable, a microphone, speakers, a “play” button,” and sliders and indicators from a soundboard, all arranged in a grid-like pattern.
With this show, the Mad Lit concert series closes out a second year of making a proud, joyous space for hip-hop in downtown Madison. Since its inception, Mad Lit has emphasized local artists, from the relatively established to the relatively unknown. It’s fitting that the bill includes the ever-gregarious and unflappable MC/spoken-word performer Rob Dz, who has put in a ton of behind-the-scenes work to organize Mad Lit through his connections with the Urban Community Arts Network and Greater Madison Music City Project. Sincere Life, aka Craig Smith, has spent much of the past few years concentrating on his stand-up comedy career, but also has a long track record of sharply written and executed hip-hop.
