When Jerry’s Sandwiches closed its Wicker Park location last summer, the weekly theme party Original Rap Karaoke also lost its home. Its organizers, Psalm One and Ground Lift Media, briefly moved to Cafe Mustache and then held a fourth-anniversary party at Tonic Room in November, but after that they seemed done for good. Fortunately that diagnosis was premature: ORK returns for a one-off at Township on Saturday, July 1, and with any luck Chicago rap fans will have many more chances to embarrass themselves on the mike. This wolf can’t wait to scat through Snow’s “Informer,” no matter what the theme is! The free event celebrates rap’s most famous comebacks, naturally, and it features a toast to Psalm One’s birthday at midnight.
