Chali 2na's buttery-smooth baritone is responsible for the best minute of each track on the four albums by defunct hip-hoppers Jurassic 5. He's a natural vocal match for the liquid grooves of the increasingly adventurous Galactic, whose 2007 LP From the Corner to the Block crests with 2na's showstopping flow on the stutter-stepping cut "Think Back." Tickets $15.
