In the new December issue, Drew Hinshaw looks at the 2011 output from the JETS crew—the New Orleans smoke-centric rappers who were almost absurdly productive this year. Curren$y has the highest profile among them, but the rest of the bunch—Fiend, Trademark, Young Roddy, Corner Boy P, Street Wiz—will play a late night show at House of Blues’ Parish starting at 11:30 p.m. Former No Limit artist Fiend has been recording under his own name and his alias, International Jones, and released three strong mixtapes this year, our favorite being the first, Tennis Shoes and Tuxedos. Here’s a video for “Cross the Atlantic” from that mixtape.

Tickets for tonight’s show are on sale now.
