If Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, and De La Soul are underground hip-hop's royalty, then Mos Def is the celebrated envoy. Mr. Def — along with '90s reggae-metal mainstays 311 — headlines this year's HEAT Festival, hosted by UC Riverside. Keeping with the decade-appropriate revivals, Moby plays a rare DJ set. (His new album Last Night is out in April.) More contemporary standouts include hyped hip-hop duo Clipse (with their side project Re-Up Gang), local Spanish rockers Monte Negro, and — if you've still got the energy — mashup king Girl Talk.
