Ghostface Killah rocked out Wu-Tang style in Shanghai last Sunday night, June 14 at the WTF Club in Red Town (which some of you may have known as the old hip hop club, Candy). With the artist originally facing visa complications, many were worried he wouldn't actually make it to Shanghai. But in the end, Split Works! stuck to their word and helped deliver an incredible show. Support from local musicians - including Red Star, Ne Zha and Didjelirium - pumped up the crowd before the main act.

This weekend: Hip hop will rock and shock the nation
Or at least Shanghai. The story of live hip hop in our city (MC Hotdog aside) is generally one of rumour and disappointment. Remember when Nas tore ish up at Racks? Or when Jay Z wowed a packed crowd at Hongkou Stadium? No, us neither. That's largely because it didn't happen. Sure, we had Kanye go through the motions in a half empty stadium last year, but that's been pretty much it. This weekend though, might just make up for all the hurt.
Where we're going this afternoon: Enoise concert series @ eno
As we feel frankly uncomfortable in anything else, Shanghaiist frequently rocks the t-shirt and jeans look. Classic. To that end, eno is one of our favourite shops to head to — with a great range of creative and oh-so-cool clothing, including designs by some of our favourite bands and musicians. So, when they say they're throwing a party we're naturally interested. When they say there'll be live music we get pretty excited. And when they say there'll be free beer and snacks, well... then we have to take a cold shower and sit down for a while.
