The Coup featuring Boots Riley

Legendary Oakland crew the Coup brings its booty-shakin' hip-hop to Brooklyn Bowl, weaving funk instruments with overtly political lyrics in a Roots-like manner. Expect to hear classics from their 18-year career, including 2006's top-notch Pick a Bigger Weapon, and hopefully their next album, due in September. Outspoken activist and charismatic MC Boots Riley invariably makes for a fun and unpredictable live set.
