Brother Ali with DJ Abilities
Airport Tavern Music Hall — Tacoma, WA
Saturday, June 13
7PM Doors | 8PM Show | 21+
Tacoma’s hip hop scene has always thrived on real voices—artists who can rock a room and say something that sticks with you on the way home. This one is exactly that.
Brother Ali—a cornerstone of the Rhymesayers Entertainment movement and one of underground rap’s most respected storytellers—brings his blend of razor-sharp writing, soul-heavy energy, and truth-telling anthems to the Airport Tavern Music Hall. With a catalog that includes acclaimed records like The Undisputed Truth, he’s built a career on performances that feel less like a “set” and more like a full-room conversation—powerful, funny, fearless, and human.
And having DJ Abilities in the building takes it to another level. A technician on the decks and a key figure in the Minneapolis underground, Abilities is known for precision cuts, hard drums, and the kind of command that turns a show into a moment.
For Tacoma, nights like this matter. This city’s hip hop has always been about community—about showing up, supporting the culture, and giving legends and local heads the same respect.
