Wednesday:

>> The well-received “Axel F.” ’80s party returns for its March edition, featuring DJs Jahsonic, Stylus and Adrian Loving spinning soulful gems you might’ve forgot about. It all goes down at Liv. Free. 10 p.m.

Sunday:
>> Philly rapper Freeway came out with Jay-Z’s Roc-a-Fella family years back, but has since become a stand-alone artist known for his aggressive, machine gun fire-type flow. He’ll be at U Street Music Hall along with locals SmCITY, Black Cobain and Kingpen Slim. $18 in advance / $20 at the door. 9 p.m.
