BOOMBOX is kicking off 2025 [SAT.1/4] with our 12th Annual Native Tongues Appreciation Night!! We couldn’t be more hyped to jumpstart the new year with another full evening of classics, remixes, rarities, samples, & more from A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep, & the rest of the Native Tongues crew!
This year we welcome one of the most important producer/DJs in hip hop history, Native Tongues icon PRINCE PAUL! A sonic mastermind for the better part of 40 years, there might not be producer in hip hop history with more musical range than Prince Paul. A founding member of Stetsasonic, The Gravediggaz, and Handsome Boy Modeling School, he might be best known for his seminal production work on De La Soul’s fIrst 3 albums…”3 Feet High & Rising“, “De La Soul Is Dead“, & “Buhloone Mindstate“. A certified legend on every possible level, we are honored to welcome his triumphant return to our stage!
Joining the legend on the decks, you know we couldn’t throw a Native Tongues night without our Bay Area brother, and certified Native Tongues historian PLATURN! One of our favorite DJs on earth, the man behind the Oakland Faders and The 45 Sessions probably knows more about the Native Tongues than anyone not named Prince Paul.
These nights are always THE MOST fun, and needless to say, this one is about to one for the books! We’ve got DISCOUNT PRESALE TICKETS available now. Grab your tickets now to secure your spot inside and we will see you on the dancefloor in 2025!
Let’s gooo, Los Angeles!

Since September 2nd, 2006, Boombox has provided a home for Los Angeles hip hop lovers to gather every first Saturday of the month and celebrate the genre’s most respected DJs and producers. Celebrating their 15-year anniversary in 2021, they’ve gained a faithful following of music aficionados who all share one common trait: the love of hip hop culture.
Residents Inka One, Ben Diggin, Analog, and Mantron have created a signature sound and energy that is authentic, inclusive, and fiercely committed to promoting the culture and artistry that hip hop has blessed us with. For the past 18 years, Boombox has given Los Angeles a home for hip hop connoisseurs who understand the importance of the DJ. Since its inception, their mission has remained pure: to provide an honest hip hop/DJ-centric night that caters to the working-class crowd. No frills, no shiny aesthetics; just the music and DJ skills speaking for themselves.
Boombox has made an indelible impact on Los Angeles’ rich music culture and has helped introduce audiences to some of Los Angeles’ finest, such as Flying Lotus and Blu, while simultaneously giving Angelinos an opportunity to catch hip hop legends like Pete Rock, DJ Quik, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, 9th Wonder, Marley Marl, Stretch & Bobbito, Mix Master Mike, & countless others. Boombox is a destination for the world’s best hip hop DJs to come play the music they love; it’s as simple as that.
In a time fraught with division, Boombox stands tall as a Los Angeles staple where old friends unite, where new ones are made, and where all are welcomed and invited to experience a special night where the hip hop DJ shines.
