Brooklyn Comes Alive announced their daily lineups yesterday, which broke down over 35+ acts scheduled to perform at the two-day event in Brooklyn, New York. On September 23 and 24, attendees will be granted in-and-out access to three music venues—Brooklyn Bowl, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and Schimanski (previously Verboten, instead of The Hall at MP, with better sound quality and more space!)—within a 5-minute walking radius, creating the feeling of an indoor music festival in the heart of Williamsburg. With over 100+ artists slated to perform the festival, the 2017 Brooklyn Comes Alive is positioned to be the best yet. Rapper ProbCause has just been added to the Saturday lineup with his own set, joining The Crystal Method, KJ Sawka of Pendulum and Destroid, Muzzy Bear, and other electronic acts holding down the diverse lineup.
ProbCause is effectively going with the flow as his own unique producer. In the ever-changing world of hip-hop, things rarely stay the same for a long period of time. The sound of Chicago seems to be on the forefront in recent years with talent like Chance The Rapper, Saba, Vic Mensa, … and of course, ProbCause. Keeping up a prolific output over the years, he’s seen his share of trends get born and quickly disappear. But throughout all of them he’s been like a sub-genre chameleon; transitioning, evolving his production yet maintaining his core flow. The sound ProbCause has become known for travels well beyond the boundaries of hip-hop–he can casually jump from electronic to funk to R&B, then back to classic boom-bap gritty rap, and still retain that unique ability to make you reminisce with his captivating storytelling.
This past year, ProbCause has worked with some of the most elite players in the the world of electronic music and hip-hop. Appearing on both GRiZ and Gramatik‘s albums, as well as collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Big Gigantic, Louis the Child, The Floozies, Manic Focus, Break Science, and more, ProbCause’s percussive delivery flows harmoniously from one to another, proving once again he is one of the most versatile emcees in the game.
