The indie/alternative hip-hop set dispatched one of it’s trophy constituents on a world tour that stopped in Philly on September 14th, 2012. The group in question was Why?. Since 1997, Jonathan “Yoni” Wolf has displayed a talent that bends genres to which he is tied. Traditional hip-hop stylings are put on hold while folk and indie rock textures are substituted in. This amalgam makes Why? an ideal component of the Anticon record label.
The Philly show was a showcase for Why?’s new album Mumps, Etc. Drawing heavily from this album, Why? illustrated through lyrics the imagery which defines and has defined their tracks. Touching on some classics and performing with Doseone on a classic cLOUDDEAD track, Why?’s Yoni delivered the performance we all hoped for in a larger venue than he had played in Philly last. Union Transfer proved to be a great stage for the California based artist as the videos below will surely attest. Enjoy:
