Theophilus London Live plus Grandmaster Flash at Webster Hall

Theophilus London is a rapper, songwriter and producer from Brooklyn New York. Fader magazine places him at the center of the borough’s new urban pop movement, while UK music weekly NME goes in a bit further: ”…his patter is sumptuous, his look untouchable, his soundscapes plucked from mythical ghetto neverlands…he’s the real deal.” .He glides effortlessly from clubby original productions to 90s rave throwbacks, afropop electrojams, Kraftwerk samples, a backbreaking bass refix of a Whitney Houston torch song and all of it stitched together with London’s breathy, unpredictable flow. He has ignighted clubs in Europe and America with stunning live performances and many say thatiIt’s possible this is the arrival of a once-in-a-generation talent.
