There are a couple of insanely good hip-hop shows happening tonight, so how do you choose?

Dear GYA, Look, on one hand I'd love to see Run The Jewels tonight. They were great at Twilight last summer and their new album earned a 9 out of 10 on Pitchfork. However, I also have a soft spot in my heart for Biz Markie, who is performing at Metro Bar. How does one decide? - Gary Hounders, Salt Lake City
Gary, this is certainly a tough decision. But if you recall the Old El Paso commercial regarding the difficult decision of hard or soft tacos, then you'd know the correct solution to a situation like this is always, "Why not have both?" Here's the details on tonight's shows:
Rap duo Run The Jewels will be at Urban Lounge this evening. Ratking and Depot will open up. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20.
Legendary emcee Biz Markie will be at Metro Bar tonight. Better Taste Bureau, Kelly Packer and Leo Cody are also on the bill. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20.
A few other options for tonight:
Indie group Dads will be at Kilby Court. Tiny Moving Parts and Choir Vandals are also performing. The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $8.
And, coincidentally, punk band The Moms will be at Shred Shed. Everything Ever and Save the World will warm it up.
