Knocturnal: J-Live

When: Mon., Jan. 29, 9 p.m. 2018

The weekly Knocturnal hip-hop show at Snug Harbor has brought its share of both big names and more low-key underground acts to Charlotte, and the latter is the case when J-Live takes the stage this coming Monday. The former English teacher hung it up back in 2002, shortly after his debut album dropped the previous year, to drop knowledge on a broader scale, and he’s been killing it ever since. True hip-hop heads don’t want to miss this show.
