The Masquerade - 75 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive S.W. Atlanta, GA 30303 $23. 7 p.m.

Corey Woods, the man who’s best known by most as Raekwon da Chef, left an indelible mark on hip-hop culture as one of the most formidable foot soldiers of the Wu-Tang Clan. This year, Raekwon dropped his seventh solo album, The Wild, a lean, razor-sharp return that breaks free from the drugs and organized crime motif that’s defined his work since the arrival of 1995’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. In songs such as “This Is What It Comes Too,” “Marvin” and “Visiting Hour” adulthood experience and maturity guide his words. He may be a parental figure now, but he’s still da Chef protect ya neck.

It’s just like “SNL“‘s Weekend Update except this one actually gets better with age. This monthly show also features traditional stand-up between rounds making for a hybrid showcase unlike any other in town. Thursday is the new Saturday, so make your plans accordingly.
