Z2 Entertainment presents Das Racist at the Fox Theatre on Saturday, April 21st. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 2nd for $23.00 in advance and $26.00 day of show.
According to press notes, known for their use of humor, obscure references, and unconventional style, Das Racist has been both dismissed as joke rap and hailed as an urgent new voice in rap. Spin magazine picked Das Racist as one of 50 acts to watch at the 2010 SXSW festival, and in April 2010, MTV Iggy selected Das Racist as one of the “25 Best New Bands in the World”.
Das Racist describe their approach to music as “‘deconstructionalist’: sawing the legs out from under hip-hop as they celebrate it”.
In 2010, the group self-released two mixtapes, Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man, with the latter issued in association with the Mad Decent label and featuring a song with production by tastemaker and label head Diplo. Soon after, Das Racist announced they would release their debut full-length, Relax, on Greedhead Music, a label imprint run by Himanshu Suri. Relax arrived in September of 2011.
