Music

Common Market

Sabzi and RA Scion’s new album, Tobacco Road, is a hiphop pastoral. Its setting is RA Scion’s first world, a rural Kentucky community that grows, cuts, and sells tobacco at auction. It’s a way of life RA Scion left many years ago, and on Tobacco Road, it’s a way of life he returns to through a melancholy mist of jazz vibes and slow hiphop beats. Tonight, Common Market bring Tobacco Road to the stage, headlining a bill blessed with the Total Experience Gospel Choir, Thee Emergency, and Feral Children. (Neumos, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 8 pm, $12, all ages.)
