	Description:		The rapper Heems first came to wide attention over 15 years ago as part of the alternative hip hop band Das Racist. His solo career has included collaborations with Childish Gambino, Blood Orange, and the actor Riz Ahmed, with whom Heems formed the group Swet Shop Boys. He’s also been a vocal proponent of the Punjabi and wider South Asian communities here in New York, and his songs often include a head-spinning mix of musical references, cultural pride, and social commentary. Heems and producer Zachary Levine-Caleb play songs from his latest, A Hundred Alibis, in-studio. Set list: 1. The Ballet 2. Star-Crossed A Hundred Alibis by Heems
