His undisputed skills and rugged authenticity have given him staying power in the rap game, despite not being embraced by the major labels. Cali’s A-F-R-O (All Flows Reach Out) and Austin favorites Zeale Rapz and NGHT HCKLRS will also be performing to round out the night.

Hear arguably the two best catalogs of all time pitted against each other! It’s MJ vs Prince, the King vs the Kid! The clear winner is you, because with so many hits, you’ll be grooving and getting funky all night. This special edition of Kickback Friday will have great cold beers, great food and great ear candy.

Brandon Thornton hosts Austin’s new live music and spoken work event series, Encore. Taking place on the Speakeasy rooftop, you’ll have one of the best views in Austin to go along with amazing performances by Alesia Lani, and other artists. With DJ Kay Cali and DJ Dontizl spinning the good vibes, this promises to be a memorable night!
