We’re very excited to announce that New York City hip-hop trio Das Racist will be speaking at World’s Fair Use Day! Over the course of just two years, Das Racist has cultivated a sizable following in underground hip-hop and indie-rock circles, on the strength of two critically-acclaimed mixtapes (both of which are available for free download on their website). They’ve been featured in The New Yorker, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Spin and countless other publications. The New York Times duly noted that “Das Racist’s lack of piety has become an aesthetic of its own, with songs that are as much commentary on hip-hop as rigorous practice of it.” In conjunction with their appearance at WFUD, Das Racist will be playing their first-ever shows in the D.C. area: 1/13 at the Talking Head in Baltimore and 1/14 at the Rock and Roll Hotel in D.C. Both shows are on sale now—don’t sleep on those tickets!
