Late Night with Russell Howard/Ron Dance

When you hear about a rap show in Down River, you never really know what to expect.

When Ron Dance says he's putting on a show with a live band... you REALLY don't know what to expect.

On Thanksgiving weekend Ron Dance put on action packed show at a small venue in Southgate.

I wouldn't categorize this as your typical hip hop show. You know...DJ spins...rapper raps...dj spins again...more rappers rap....end scene.

This was more like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but the Ron Dance version.

Sounds by DJ Phrikshun.

With performances by Ron Dance, Marv Won, and Ro Spit (101)

House Band: The 22nd Street Band (Which tore it down!)

Surprise Guests: Dwele and Black Milk

The crowd was a little chilly from the jump but Marv Won's #bars and comedy warmed them up in no time.  If you've never seen Ron Dance and Ro Spit perform "16...8...4...2...1" live, you are missing out. With the band behind them, they ripped shit!  But the surprise mini-performance by Dwele brought the house down. By the end of the night, Ron Dance's crowd was singing along and two-stepping to the Michael Jackson tribute by the 22nd Street Band.
