Hip-Hop
Though I’ve seen my fair share of bass rattling concerts at Denver’s legendary Ogden Theater, Run the Jewels was the very first time I truly felt my head throb – the bass this duo brought to the venue was overwhelming in all the right ways. This past Tuesday saw Denver’s legion of hip hop heads […]
