A massive show is going down in Vicksburg, giving locals a rare chance to experience the best of Mississippi hip-hop. The show is the brainchild of Vicksburg MC Zalamar "ZeeDubb" Davis.

"You can expect to see some of the most lyrical, hype, creative and intelligent MCs, not just in Mississippi but in hip-hop, period," he says.

ZeeDubb, along with fellow Vicksburg hip-hoppers Low Lyfe Lantz and Tha Future Tha Kid and Team Civilized, will be joined on stage by Jackson favorites 5th Child, Skipp Coon, Ulogy, Rashad Street, James Crow and Coke Bumaye. Houston, Texas, native D-City Sean Mac will hold down DJ duties, while live band Calico Panache and a group of b-boys round out the bill.

The Vicksburg Hip-Hop Show is Thursday, May 12, at Upper End Lounge, 1306 Washington St. Doors open at 9 p.m., and cover is $5.
