DJ Spanish Fly a.k.a Antonio D. Kimbrough a.k.a the godfather of Memphis rap is coming to Monument and Ringön on August 7th!
A legend in the true sense of the word, Fly still stays humble - and still delivers on stage - from curated shows together with Tommy Wright III for Carhartt WIP or on his solo endeavours like this current tour.
This one is as much for the young ones as it is for the old heads - as anyone who’s ever heard Fly’s music can attest, it is truly timeless and unique, with that unmistakeable Memphis-flavour to it.
Emerging in the mid-1980s, he revolutionized the Southern sound with his innovative use of heavy bass, eerie melodies, and Roland TR-808 drum machines. His raw, streetwise lyrics and DIY approach made tracks like “Get Buck” and “Gangsta Walk” staples of Memphis’ underground scene. Fly deeply influenced local legends like Three 6 Mafia, 8Ball & MJG and the rise of crunk and trap music.
His sound spoke to the realities of life in Memphis, from gritty depictions of urban struggles to celebratory tracks about club life and street dancing. His DIY approach to producing and distributing music—often through cassette tapes passed around locally—helped democratize hip-hop production in the South.
Come have a blast as we do it dirty and hella fun on Friday, August 7th. Doors at 22:00, DJ Bruce Leenus (Bring The Noise) in the booth and tickets out now!
