URBAN R&B HIP-HOP

Since the opening of S.O.B.’s, nearly three decades ago, the club has been at the cusp of the latest urban talent. This world famous venue has served as an important milestone for musicians such as Kanye West, John Legend, Lauryn Hill, and Lupe Fiasco. While for some, S.O.B.’s might have served as a starting point, the club has also housed iconic musicians including KRS-One, Erykah Badu, Gil Scott Heron, Q-Tip, and De La Soul. The music of these legends has served as the reference point to many up-and-coming artists who then take it one step further. These contemporary urban artists have veered away from the conventional boundaries that separate musical genres. S.O.B.’s is continually serving as a platform for artists breaking the mold and blazing new paths in the music industry. Musicians like Drake, Kid Cudi, Wale, Asher Roth & Ryan Leslie have all brought their unique musical visions and promotional techniques to the S.O.B.’s stage. You never know who you might catch a glimpse of at any given show. Artists like Usher, Maxwell and Musiq Soulchild have all come through in support of their fellow musicians. Every show has the potential to astound you, from the performance on stage to the ambiance of the room. From phenomenal hosts like Eric Roberson to the people working behind the scene, the effort put into every show makes S.O.B’s the great venue that it is.
