Recommended: Vince Staples and Mac Miller with Pouya and Big K.R.I.T @ Red Rocks
This is the line-up to beat this week. If you enjoy heavy hitters in today’s hip-hop scene, then get yourself to Red Rocks Monday night. Vince Staples just released a very successful seven-track EP Prima Dona. Mac Miller just released his fourth album, The Divine Feminine and has had great reviews this year. What better way to spend Hall-o-Ween than with this scary good show.

Yelawolf and Bubba Sparxxx will bring their dirty south country and rap stylings to Cervantes Sunday night.
