Oakland native son Kev Choice returned home Tuesday night to a well-attended show at Yoshi’s to play a concert with his band, the Kev Choice Ensemble.

At this point, it’s not a stretch to say the KCE may well be the most musical hip-hop act ever.

With a name like Vagabondage, the duo of John Flaw and Emchy warrant at the very least a cursory listen. And if you're a fan of Americana roots and bluesy, whiskey soaked vocals then their self described catalog of "pirate shanties, murder ballads and carnivale vaudevillia" are just what the bartender ordered.
