Our good friends Plain Ole Bill, Jimmy 2 Times, Last Word, and Fundo are gearing up for the big 4 year anniversary of their monthly DJ night and major rap party GET CRYPHY. Over the last several years, they've built up their brand of rowdy rap-related anthem mixing into a household name, revered as many as some of the finest DJs in the Twin Cities. Burlesque has been down since day 1, creating all of the visuals for the crew, printing t-shirts, and even guest DJing at their parties. As we gear up for Friday's big bash at First Avenue, we suggest you tune in to their latest mix and look back at some of our favorite flyers we've done over the last few years.
