This week is building up to a whole lot of action, but for tonight, keep it funky when you head to the Casbah for another installment of Hip-Hop Battle Bot. The semi-regular contest allows for MC, DJ, and B-Boy and B-Girl dance contests and is always a packed and fun way to experience San Diego's hip-hop fam. Around town, locals Heir Gloom headline Soda Bar, Holiday Music play the recently reopened Che Cafe, and Paul Gregg tickles the ivories at Sycamore Den.
