Though the Bay’s hip hop glory often goes to Oakland and Richmond, some of the region’s best rappers remain hidden among the many winding streets and avenues of San Jose. Over the last decade, San Jose’s Dox Black has dropped ten albums of inspired, nimble hip hop, combining a conscious and life-affirming perspective with some serious bars. Backed by full live band the Aquanauts, Dox has carved out a niche for himself as a 408 version of the Roots. This Thursday, the crew entertains the crowd at Cesar Chavez for a free show presented by the city’s Viva Parks project.
