Kool AD

Four women, including the rapper's ex-wife, have given detailed descriptions of sexual assault allegations against Kool AD. He says, ”It was never my intention to hurt anybody, but through ignorance, entitlement and ego, I now see that I have.”

Tonight's NYC-area shows include Guns N' Roses, Future Islands, Japanese Breakfast, the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival, Mike Doughty, Mura Masa/Joey Purp, Frankie Rose, and more.

Rapper/drummer/producer/DJ Kassa Overall is in two different projects with two different Das Racist members, and he's got a new solo single dropping this week.

The latest Ecstatic Music Festival show had rapper Kool AD (ex-Das Racist) collaborating with jazz trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, and string quartet Mivos Quartet.
