Rapped Up Nicely

The first time the founding members of SuperBaby got together to work on their freestyle rapping skills, the results were shockingly insightful: “We like to fight,” the hook went. “We like to kick you in the dick.”

“There was never really a concept that we would become, like, a legitimate rap group,” observes group co-founder Rollie Williams, who started soliciting collaborators when he decided he wanted to learn the freestyle art, eventually ending up with a core of “three white kids.” Rather, what his cohorts shared was a background in a similarly seat-of-the-pants art form: improv. Thus the show was born.

Divided into two basic parts, SuperBaby’s performance starts out with a long-form improv game (a narrative, basically) that’s kicked off by an audience suggestion and ends with the players solving a mystery, Scooby Doo-style, and rapping about it. In the second half, the members play a series of more traditional improv games — all based on audience suggestions — that also center around rapping.

It’s a plan so crazy, it just might work. SuperBaby’s first show starts tonight at 10:15 p.m. at Bovine Metropolis Theater, 1527 Champa Street; shows continue every Saturday, through August 27. Tickets are $10, and due to explicit lyrics, the show is adults-only. For more information, visit www.bovinemetropolis.com or call 303-758-4722.
Saturdays. Starts: July 9. Continues through Aug. 26, 2011
