The New Generation Tour

You found this. Be the first one here.

Some catalogues get more complicated to love over time, and pretending otherwise is dishonest. What is not complicated is what the music did to a decade of Atlanta and everything downstream of it - the melodic croak, the ad-libs, the way a whole generation of rappers now phrases things because one person did it first. This is a touring package built around that lineage rather than a single victory lap, which is why the bill reads like a family tree. The theater is the right scale for it too: eighteen hundred seats instead of a stadium, so the low end is physical rather than distant. Come expecting the crowd to know the ad-libs better than the verses, because that is how this music is actually memorized. The bill is stacked deep enough that the support slots are the part worth arriving for, which is not usually true of a package tour. Sunday the 4th of October, doors early, performance at eight.
