Baby Steps 8 Year Anniversary Show

On Friday, March 2nd, Baby Steps will be celebrating eight years of hip-hop in Buffalo at Broadway Joe’s. The Baby Steps collective began in late February 1999, starting with weekly performances at Broadway Joe’s. The group has been putting on hip-hop shows throughout Buffalo ever since, and there have been Baby Steps weeklies held in major cities like San Francisco and New York, as well as one-off productions in Boston and Chicago. In addition to putting together great live sets, the Baby Steps “Madd DJ Show” has been a staple for underground hip-hop every Sunday night on WBNY 91.3 at Buffalo State College. This Friday’s “Mega-Emcee Showcase” is hosted by Emcee Sick, Loki da Trixta, the Ketchup Samurai (pictured), Mysterious L and Third. Also performing in this celebration of Buffalo hip-hop are DJ Tommee, DJ LoPro, Rich the Snitch, DJ Daringer, DJ Cutler and, last but not least, the annual special mystery guest! Advance tickets are available at New World Record, Terrapin Station and Broadway Joe’s.
