Hip-Hop: Falling for Music

Fall is on the way! As the leaves change color and the temperature drops, we get all the dope hip-hop tour dates for the season. Here are a few shows to look forward to.
 
We start our fall season on Sep 9 with the RI Music Festival at The Strand Ballroom (Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel). A Boogie is headlining with a bunch of Rhode Island talent like J Duce, Jon Hope, Flawless & more! A Boogie will continue to build on his momentum from becoming a XXL Freshman and return to Providence. 
Also in September, on the 23rd Dave East will take his Paranoia Tour to The Strand Ballroom while Maxo Kream shuts down The Met. Whether you choose one or the other, you can’t lose because both artists are pushing hip-hop forward. 
 
Later in the fall, we have MadeInTYO coming to The Met on Oct 6 during his Made In Tokyo tour. After recently dropping a project and also becoming a XXL Freshman, this is the perfect time for him to travel! Another show pulling up to The Met is Joyner Lucas on his 508 Tour performing on Oct 14. To end the month, on Oct 25 we have Dope Concepts at Aurora. This hip-hop show features Rhode Island’s own Foolish Heart, ALMTY Ceez, Lily Rayne & Cam Bells right before Aurora closes down.
 
Ending the pre-chill season proper, there’s one more show to mark on your calendars! On Nov 17, Cousin Stizz is stopping by The Met on the final stretch of his One Night Only Tour. If you’re unfamiliar with the name and you’re a fan of hip-hop, you should get familiar. Dive into the world of Stizz with this show.
 
These are just a few shows coming to the area, so definitely keep your ears to the venues for more!
