Tuesday To-Do: Jampire CD release
JAMPIRE CD RELEASE SHOW
10 p.m., White Water Tavern. $5.
Of all the past performance names of the local British-born rapper Dessalines Agginie — Bizarro, Anti-Christ Sperm Donor, Jampire — the first might be the most telling. As part of the hip-hop collective Traumah Team that introduced 607 to Little Rock stages, Agginie's stage name seemed to reflect his bizarre flow — sometimes arrhythmic, clipped and with an unusual inflection. After Traumah dissolved, Agginie reemerged as Anti-Christ Sperm Donor, a solo project that confirmed his penchant for lyrical matter as bizarre as his flow. Now reincarnated as Jampire, the rapper continues to nurture the weirdness. On Tuesday, he'll release “Vampire States of Amerika,” an album full of industrial beats and goth-tinted flows that mesh politics with gore. The fainthearted are warned. Mad Trucker, the rapper who supplied beats to the album and whose Rip Shop Records will release it, opens the show with Audioreliks and Underclaire.
