Passion of the Weiss, the music blog run by L.A. Weekly “Bizarre Ride” columnist Jeff Weiss, presents this evening of up-and-coming hip-hop talent. Headliner Jonwayne is a veteran of Low End Theory, while Nu Age Syndicate co-founder Chester Watson, at just 17, is already being tipped as an Odd Future-style boundary-pusher. Opener Russ hails from Atlanta and mixes Kid Cudi-style soulfulness with dirty South beats and his own bluesy guitar licks.
