Get Your Drank On

With DJ Screw living by and ultimately overdosing on codeine syrup, and Big Moe proclaiming Houston as "Purple City," it's clear that the mind-numbing cough suppressant known as "purple drank" is really hot in the South. So it's no surprise that purple is also this month's theme at DJ Cashless's resurrected monthly AfroKlash party today at The Proletariat.

"It's a play on everyone going on Purple Madness," says Cashless. Expect southern-fried, crunkdified hits at this party. Cashless says AfroKlash connects the dots with all kinds of music, specifically "danceable music with soul-funk, soul and jazz with African and black American influence." Cashless will be joined by DJ Ish, Baby Roo and Dayta aka Nanachill.
