Kenny Gamble = Freeway?: The N. Philly rapper takes over for the TSOP legend

In this year's Ultimate Summer Fun Guide, Deesha Dyer told you about the annual Inside the Studio event, featuring legendary producer Kenny Gamble:

Since the '60s there's been no stoppin' Kenny Gamble. Host Laiya St. Clair sits down with the producer, songwriter and housing developer to unearth the soulful sound of Philadelphia that contributed to his recent Lifetime Achievement Grammy. 6:30 p.m., free (reservations at itsthelifeshow@gmail.com), Warmdaddys, 1400 S. Columbus Blvd., 215-462-2000, warmdaddys.com. —DD

But apparently Kenny's too sick too hang with you. From a press release:

Due to unforseen health circumstances Mr. Kenny Gamble will have to reschedule this edition of Inside the Studio. Mr. Gamble, despite his best effort, is still under the weather. Of course, with such a legendary guest booked for this session, we were very much looking forward to his appearance. But the simple things in life - such as health and family - are definely our primary concern. Please stay tuned for details regarding a reschedule date for Mr. Gamble

Rapper Freeway will take over for the ailing Mr. Gamble, which is hilarious in its own way considering how polar opposite they are, styles-wise. Laiya St. Clair will still host (with DJ Afrodjiak on the decks) but if you're interested in hearing about "the real reason he will NEVER cut that beard," you have to RSVP to itsthelifeshow@gmail.com with 'Free' as the subject. Get well soon, K. Gams!

Sat., June 27, 7-11 p.m., free, Warmdaddys, 1400 S. Columbus Blvd., 215-462-2000, warmdaddys.com.
