Friday To-Do: Arkansas Football Jam


A preview of tonight.

ARKANSAS FOOTBALL JAM
8 p.m., Clear Channel Metroplex. $10.


On the eve of the UCA/UAPB football showdown, Power 92 FM and affiliate promoters are throwing a big throw at the metroplex featuring all your favorite one-hit rappers. From Atlanta, Rocko raps deliberately (almost ploddingly) about why he's great and you're not in his radio anthem “Umma Do Me.” (Sample lyric: “You make it sprinkle, I make it tsunami/You get chump change, but I get money.”) Later this month, Big Kuntry King, a rapper who's a member of T.I.'s P$C (Pimp Squad Clique), will release his debut album, “My Turn to Eat.” The album cover features the rapper holding two hamburger buns stuffed with $100 bills. His most popular song, “Da Baddest,” is an ode to strip-pers, or more precisely, the greatest stripper ever. Palestinian-American DJ Khaled is famous for shouting over otherwise great rap songs. He's an invited guest, which means he'll likely just stand around — but not around you — and look cool. Other acts include Teflon, Ace and Treal.
