Tampa duo Yo Majesty stomps on hip-hop cliches like so many cigarette butts. Out lesbians in a genre known for misogyny and homophobia, Shunda K and Jwl B spout intelligent, funny rhymes that are explicit enough to give Luke Campbell pause. I can’t print the three-word phrase that makes up the chorus of Yo Majesty’s party anthem “Club Action,” but, trust me, you’ll know it when you hear it. The sound tops a JJ Fad chassis with a crunk engine, gasses up with rocket fuel and puts the pedal to the floor.
Yo Majesty will make a special appearance tonight (March 28) at an Orpheum show spotlighting fresh underground MCs. Shunda will be performing a solo set and the lineup also includes Ghetto C, Bla’que Pop, Lord Drak, Jerzy, New Breed, Gonniez, Da Diamond, Y-Not, DJ Echo and more.
Doors open at 8 p.m. and the party rolls ‘til 3 a.m. The Orpheum is at 1902 Avenida Republica de Cuba (14th Street) in Ybor City. Admission is $10. Call (813) 248-9500.
