Ultra polarizing rap group Das Racist exploded onto the country's collective radar with their pseudo-philosphical riff "Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell", confounding listeners and lighting critics' loins on fire. Their two 2010 mixtapes Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man were heavy on the downloads and solidified the band's unanimously-decided new title as a band to keep your eyeballs on.

They're crashing the Mezzanine this Friday with the Bay Area's own Punjabi funk MCs Black Mahal to create the one-off Frankensteinian creation Das Mahal. Behind the turntables will be Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist. Aching to spend your Friday night soaking up the beats? We can help.
