Bored Stiff
MySpace (listen to “State of Art,” “Capricorn”)
Label site
Hometown: San Francisco
Next local show: None planned
Upcoming release: From the Ground Up, 2007
Let it be known: classic hip-hop is back in the Bay Area. San Francisco crew Bored Stiff has quietly resurfaced after six years on hiatus, and brought with it the aesthetics of old-school underground rap: DJs, MCs, ample scratching, salient lyrics, and chill beats. It’s all there in the group’s first three new tracks since 2001’s Ghetto Research — “Spirit of Lee,” “In the House,” and “Maturity” — released on a limited edition sampler that foretells the group’s official return in 2007.
