Trailblazing emcee, producer and Bay Area legend Lyrics Born has always had great taste in collaborators. Perhaps best known for the hit 2003 single “Callin Out,” the Japanese-born hip-hop head has worked with DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, Lateef the Truthspeaker and many others over the course of his 25-year career. His latest choice collaboration comes in the form of Rapp Nite, which he made with celebrated San Jose spinner DJ Paolo “Cutso” Bello. The final installment of San Jose Jazz’s “Do You Know San Jose?” concert series will kick off this year’s Pow! Wow! public art festival.
