Diamond Pub has a "Halloween Kickoff" hip-hop show featuring a couple of Louisville acts,  Bukshot, Elephant Room, Vito Banga of Nappy Roots, Josh Woods and the official after party with Gitsumon, Saturday, October 25. Bukshot, of course, is the best-known of the these, having released seven studio albums to date and sold over 150,000 units, though Banga has a rep, thanks  to Nappy Roots. If you like Insane Clown Posse and Tech9, this is a show for you. Best of all, it's only $5.
