MC Lyte released Lyte as a Rock in 1988, one of the first solo rap albums by a woman, and songs like Cha Cha Cha and Ruffneck made her a Brooklyn hip-hop institution. She plays Brooklyn Bowl, a room where you can bowl a frame before the set. If you want a hometown hip-hop night with real history behind it, this is the one.

What to expect

  • Bowling lane packages and express entry are sold separately from concert tickets.
  • The venue serves food, so you can make dinner part of the night.
  • Arrive early for a good spot on the floor.
