As the first-ever hip-hop-themed Rooftop Concert Series show, tonight is going to be killer. Energetic rap group Can't Stop Won't Stop started in Provo but relocated to Los Angeles, and their old-school influences (such as Wu-Tang Clan and Beastie Boys) are apparent in their entertaining new album, Wildebeest. Also performing is rap crew House of Lewis, who have the stage presence to get the audience amped up and the clever, self-deprecating rhymes that will give you the irresistible urge to try to rap along while alone in your car (speaking from experience). And R&B singer and rapper Mimi Knowles has been hustling hard lately, winning a Gigg contest for the opportunity to open for Boyz II Men and even scoring an opening slot at this year's Stadium of Fire, and for good reason: His voice is full of genuine soul.
