Saturday, January 25

MUSIC: SCHOOLBOY Q In case you missed it, LA rapper ScHoolboy Q released one of the dopest albums of 2024. His first LP since 2019’s Crash Talk, Blue Lips came at a time when hip-hop heads were feening for something fresh and hair-raisingly raw. On Blue Lips, Q rarely misses, unloading a salvo of hard-hitting bars that showcase impressive breath control and a keen curation of collaborations with everyone from Freddie Gibbs to Rico Nasty. As Pitchfork once put it, “He may not reach the conceptual heights of a Kendrick, but he doesn’t need to. He’s supremely gifted at balancing party jams and grizzled storytelling tracks with cinematic flair.” Q’s wildly energetic set at Camp Flog Gnaw this November gave us a taste of what the “Man of the Year” has in store. Let’s hope we’re ready for it. 8 p.m., $53, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketmaster.com. –Amber Sampson

MISC: JIM HENSON’S FRAGGLE ROCK: BACK TO THE ROCK LIVE Gobo! Mokey! Wembley! Boober! Red! The puppet denizens of Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock—along with, one presumes, a bunch of Doozers, some Gorgs and very likely a Silly Creature or two—are coming to the Smith Center in Back to the Rock Live. Directed by John Tartaglia, who began performing with the Henson Company at the age of 16, Back to the Rock Live finds the Fraggles in search of a “Great Song Stone,” making their charming and musical way through an epic stage production featuring immersive effects and dazzling puppetry created by the matchless Jim Henson Creature Shop. Take the kids! Marjory the Trash Heap has spoken! 3 p.m., $29-$68, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Geoff Carter
