A local hip-hop happening wouldnย’t be complete without a Black Mamba sighting. No, weย’re not talking about the venomous reptile, but the scenester who always comes out to snap some pics and find the latest talent to feature in his zine-turned-magazine, Boy-Cott. Heย’ll celebrate the latest daily, monthly, bimonthly, whenever-he-feels-like-ly issue today at the Boy-Cott Magazine Party. And it looks like heย’s exercising his hookups in regards to talent, as the night will feature some of Houstonย’s best DJs, including DJ Blurb, Fly Girl T, mp Qenetic Storm and [on hiatus] spinning the best local and national hip-hop. Although there isnย’t a dress code, keep in mind Black Mamba is always on the hunt for pics for the next issue. 9 p.m. Notsuoh, 314 Main. For information, visit www.myspace.com/blacksamba. $5; free for ladies until 11 p.m.
