B. Satz Allstars featuring John Forté, Blitz the Ambassador and Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew

Producer Brian Satz brings together his buddies for this party, which promises to be a "live mixtape." Our expectations are high, to say the least: His posse features fast-rising Ghanaian rapper Blitz the Ambassador, velvet-voiced Brooklyn singer-songwriter and producer Forté (who cowrote much of the Fugees' The Score) and the Sierra Leone–hatched, NYC-based Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew. Yeah, our friends are that cool too.
