Hip-hop & R&B shows in Boston this week

Boston packs a lot into a small map: Allston rock clubs, Cambridge listening rooms, Back Bay comedy and late sets around Downtown Crossing. Hip-hop and R&B nights cover live sets, showcases and DJ-driven parties.

8 events this week across 6 venues in Boston, including Paradise Rock Club, Citizens House of Blues Boston and City Winery Boston. The first starts Friday at 8:00 PM.
