Stones Throw B-Ball Zombie War Tour
Mon., Dec. 3, 7:30pm. $15. With Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, Guilty Simpson, Percee P, J-Rocc + Karriem. Starlight Ballroom, 460 N. Ninth St. 866.468.7619. www.r5productions.com

To put it bluntly, Peanut Butter Wolf is the most underrated DJ on the much-maligned backpacker scene. The founder of Stones Throw Records and the mastermind behind the universally acclaimed Madvillain collaborations with MF Doom, Wolf brings his three-ring circus to the Starlight for a night of unparalleled hip-hocracy, endearing the Illadelph to all that is right in the realm of rap. Under the auspices of Wolf’s largesse, old-school legend Percee P rocks the house with his ferocious flow before fledgling flamethrower Guilty Simpson (pictured) sways the jive juries with his tales of dubious deeds. Wordsmith J-Rocc houses haute couture through his highfalutin histrionics as Wolf himself lures the lollygaggers with his capacious catalog of hype-tronic beats. (Joshua Valocchi)
