Sneaker Pimps Tour ft. Phil Ade, Tabi Bonney, The Cool Kids & Curren$y

Last night I had the privilege of attending the Sneaker Pimps tour, featuring local rappers (including recent SOTDer Phil Ade and Tabi Bonney) as well as some more prominent names, like The Cool Kids and my personal fave: Curren$y! I had a premium spot right on stage and was able to get some great pics in the process.

The club was PACKED.

Phil Ade was one of the first acts to take the stage. He killed it and even fit a little "Toast 2 Life" in his set. Since Phil reps the 368 crew, Raheem DeVaughn made an appearance, too.

Tabi Bonney was up next. He's really on the come-up, the whole front row knew the lyrics to his songs.

After Tabi came The Cool Kids. They did the longest set of anyone that night, probably their whole mixtape and then some. After about five songs of theirs I just wanted Curren$y to come out already confused

Mikey Rocks (back) & Chuck Inglish

About three mic checks later, he did! Spitta's tinier than I expected. I guess that's why he gets high all the time, ha.

And he was decked out in Redskins gear. Can this dude GET any better?!

Unfortch, the Lux Lounge crew cut his set short because the clock rang 2 am. I blame The Cool Kids (sorry dudes) and also the lameness of the club crew. Do you know who this is?!

Anyways, it was an awesome show overall: dope kicks, dope music, and the thrill of seeing one of my fave rappers perform live cool The only thing that would have made the night better was getting backstage to chill with everyone, but security wasn't havin' that. Ah well, maybe when I finally visit Creative Control... now THAT would make for an epic blog post.
