From, 2004-2007, Moore found success singing for post-hardcore band From First to Last (signed to Epitaph). After a number of successful tours, Moore was forced to resign from the band due to issues with his vocal cords and subsequently began to focus on his solo career.
Skrillex released his debut EP, My Name is Skrillex, in 2010 as a free download, launching his reworked career. Soon following was the EP Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites, which garnered both top spots in the club music charts and three Grammy Awards, including for Best Dance/Electronica Album. If there was any doubt that this former vocalist could not transition into the EDM world, it was all dashed away with these successes.
Skrillex’s 2011 three-track EP, More Monsters and Sprites, helped kick off a successful tour. Moore also produced a track for Korn called “Get Up.” Later in that year, the band would join Skrillex on stage at Coachella. As if that year weren’t busy enough for Moore, he released yet another EP, Bangarang, that would ultimately bring home two more Grammy Awards in 2013. The record combines unrelenting, thumping kick drums with bass wobbles, chopped-up vocal hooks, catchy synth lines, and heavy drops.
Not content to just make music under the Skrillex name, Moore went on to form not one but two side projects in 2012. Dog Blood was a team up with Boys Noize, which featured the techno charts-topping track “Next Order.” Jack Ü was next up, this time pairing Skrillex with Diplo. For a while, this act kept its members a secret — another example of the masterful showmanship behind his projects.
In 2014, Skrillex promoted himself in a new way which reinforced his cutting-edge tech image with global fans. Using an app called “Alien Ride,” hidden messages and a countdown would boost anticipation for what would come next. The tracks revealed would comprise what would be his first full-length album release. Recess debuted at #4 on the US Billboard 200 charts and made it onto Rolling Stone’s top 50 records of 2014.
Since 2016, Skrillex has been racking up props with collaborations and remixes, amazing fans and peers alike. His impressive and eclectic mix of collaborators includes the likes of former girlfriend Ellie Goulding, Damien Marley, NERO, Deadmau5, A$AP Rocky, Chance the Rapper, Kill the Noise, and many more. He’s also dropped songs for video games, another one of his huge passions. Examples include "Face My Fears," an opening song for the video game Kingdom Hearts III.
Skrillex has toured with sold-out shows worldwide. Renowned for impressive set design, the “Mothership” tour is said to have required eight fully-loaded tractor-trailer trucks to transport its giant onstage spaceship. He has further built a reputation for his live shows and cleverly synchronized audio/visual displays. While touring slowed down due to the pandemic, he returned to form in 2021 with a performance in Brooklyn and with many more planned for the future.
Raised from the age of two by his single mother, Lil Baby transformed his life from drug dealer to rapper under the guidance of Quality Control Records label founder Kevin “Coach K” Lee. At the age of 19, Lil Baby began releasing mixtapes in collaboration with other artists from the record label, including his mentors Young Thug and Gunna.
In 2018, Lil Baby’s popularity picked up steam with the release of his first official album Harder Than Ever. This album became an immediate success and included the hit “Yes Indeed” featuring Drake. Harder Than Ever topped the Billboard 200 charts and soon was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In 2020, Lil Baby released his second studio album, My Turn. This album went on to achieve quadruple platinum status and featured hit singles such as “Woah,” “Sum 2 Prove,” and “Emotionally Scarred.” My Turn also featured prominent guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, 42 Dugg, Future, Moneybagg Yo, Young Thug, Gunna, and Rylo Rodriguez.
Next, Lil Baby released a collaborative studio album called The Voice of the Heroes with Lil Durk. The album was preceded by two hit singles, "Voice of the Heroes" and "Hats Off." The album received acclaim for the duo’s ability to blend their styles together into a cohesive album.
In October 2022, Lil Baby released his latest album titled It's Only Me. It features the two hit singles “In a Minute” and “Heyy.” Both singles went on to top charts, proving that Lil Baby is an established voice in hip-hop here to stay. The album features collaborations with Pooh Shiesty, Nardo Wick, Future, EST Gee, Rylo Rodriguez, and Young Thug.
In 2022, Lil Baby partnered up with Chris Brown on his One of Them Ones Tour, which kicked off in Raleigh, North Carolina, and included stops along the Northeast, ending in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the tour has ended, fans should stay tuned for future Lil Baby performances coming up soon.
Born Willie Maxwell and raised in a Paterson, New Jersey housing project, music was a passion of Fetty Wap's from an early age, but it wasn't until 2013 when that interest translated into the desire to make it himself. After joining a rap troupe local to him called the Remy Boyz 1738, he tried his hand at being a staight-up rapper at first. However, he decided to start singing as well in order to have something to make him stand out from the crowd, and it's safe to say that it was a wise move. Maxwell ended up having one of the most phenomenally successful debut singles in recent history in the form of “Trap Queen”, which was released onto the internet in April 2014.
Shortly after it's official release in February 2015, it had picked up enough momentum to hurtle into the Billboard Hot 100 at number two. However, Maxwell shows no sign of becoming a one-hit wonder, or a novelty act. His two mixtapes, 2014's “Up Next” and the following year's “Zoo Style”, have picked up glowing notices and have seen the young sensation guest on records by everyone from Gucci Mane to 50 Cent. Maxwell has the commercial clout and the artistic vision to become a major player in the near future, and for that, he comes highly recommended.
It was whilst being under house arrest for a previous weapons charge, that Chicago native, Keith Cozart, uploaded many mixtapes and music videos to YouTube, including “Bang”, “3Hunna” and “I Don’t Like”. It was the latter song that snowballed, gaining plenty of attention including that of Kanye West, who is of course also a rapper from Chicago. West produced a remix of the song that also featured Pusha T, Kadakiss and Big Sean.
In the summer of 2012, Keef was in the middle of a bidding war between some of the biggest major labels in the world. He found himself signing with Interscope Records, because they gave him the opportunity to run his own label. One of the clauses was that he had to sell 250,000 units on his first release otherwise Interscope would pull out of the six million dollar deal.
He has gained some pretty worthy chart success over the years with his studio album “Finally Rich” which was released on December 18th 2012, charting at number 2 in the US Rap Chart and 29 on the US Main Chart. He is always releasing at least two mixtapes a year, all of which are well received amongst the music press and his loyal following.
Jonatan Leandoer Håstad’s first exposure to hip-hop came from 50 Cent’s landmark 2005 album “Get Rich Or Die Tryin’”. Completely taken with the album, he developed a full blown passion for hip-hop soon afterwards and began his first attempts at creating it himself as well, producing a number of tracks and writing his first lyrics. Nothing major would come from this until, he met fellow hip-hop obsessives Yung Sherman and Yung Gud and struck up a friendship with both of them. This friendship lead to all three of them creating music as the Hasch boys, along with several more of their friends who were also hip-hop fans, but Sherman, Gud and Håstad were the only ones who were truly dedicated.
Soon enough, everyone else lost interest until it was just the core trio again, and together they decided to rebrand themselves as “Sad Boys”, with a genuine visual aesthetic and musical style to match. The trio would write, record and upload their tracks to Soundcloud when in 2013 Håstad, who was by this time performing under the name Yung Lean, scored an internet hit with his track “Ginseng Strip 2002”. Through a mix of word of mouth, social media and press, Yung Lean became one of the most exciting names in modern hip-hop. He’s a truly international success story as well, just over a year after “Ginseng Strip 2002” was uploaded to Soundcloud, his debut album “Unknown Memory” was released and he headlined a sold out show at New York City’s Webster Hall off the back of it.
His music is taking him to the other side of the world to his home country, and nothing seems to be able to stop him from getting even bigger as time goes on. For being a genuinely new and exciting force in hip-hop, Yung Lean comes highly recommended.
Horst Simco’s rap career began in 2005 where influenced by fellow Texan rappers Devin the Dude and Paul Wall, he would record his rapping over existing rappers’ beats. Simco would then hand them out at malls and later utilised the likes of Myspace, YouTube and WorldStarHipHop to get his name out there.
In 2009 Riff Raff appeared on the MTV reality show “From G’s to Gents” and had a MTV tattooed on his neck so he could legally go by the name MTV Riff Raff on his mixtapes. The rapper got eliminated in the second episode but was remembered for his bizarre and extravagant persona. Soon after the rapper collaborated with Dirt Nasty who contacted him after Simco rapped his phone number out in one of his songs.
After a brief stint on Soulja Boy’s label S.O.D. Money Gang Inc. in 2011, Riff Raff worked with Harry Fraud and Action Bronson and produced the song “Bird on a Wire”. The song and video generated lot of online buzz and led to Riff Raff being signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent label although he released his debut album “The Golden Alien” independently.
The rappers follow up album “Neon Icon” was released on June 24, 2014 and was his major label debut. The album received positive reviews with Rolling Stone placing it on their “27 Must-Hear Albums of 2014” and included collaborations with Mac Miller, Childish Gambino and Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors.
Seeing Skrillex live is truly an electronic experience. It's not just his throbbing, undulating music that I love either – as he progresses through his set the stages behind him flashes in patterns that would make old-school Windows Media Player envious! Let me try and paint the picture for you...
The dark club pulses and writhes while multiple lighting types flash and move around obscuring Skrillex and seeming to seep into the walls. The signature cacophony of noise, visuals, and fog spill onto the floor, overtaking and enveloping us. As he moves from song to song Skrillex commands us to scream until our voices are hoarse and the music seems to thrum away the pain.
Hypnotic beats are flying from his station and enrapturing the club while Skrillex paces on top of his work space. Falling to his knees he drops the bass and the music screams “Skrillex.” His body hums with tension as he masterfully flips faders and switches and yells his instructions, encouragements, and demands at the crowd. I am transported to that place where music is all of my senses and I feel another wave of music breaking over me. Even Skrillex himself seems transported by the very music he has created. His body writhes along to the music making his adjustment movements seem frenzied and almost deformed.
Skrillex is a beast and his element is music.
Lil Uzi Vert is a animated performer, interacts well with the crowd and does great acapella rendition of his songs. However the set was quick and totaled about 30 minutes. There was a lack of a proper closing segment and it ended with him just walking off stage.
lit performance by everybody but Playboi Carti didnt show up fuck him and his pothead ass for not showing up even fuckin chief keef showed up nigga he fucked up and put everybody down
Everything was amazing he put on a great , amazing show. Out of all the concerts I’ve been too I felt like he played more songs than anyone else in my opinion . He made the whole crowd go crazy I loved it .
I absolutely love Fetty Wap, but the concert was such a disappointment. This really should have been a 21+ event! There were nothing but a bunch of high schoolers, they were so immature, rude and annoying. I was disrespected various of times for no reason by these kids. They were all on drugs and acting insane. I would have enjoyed the concert if the crowd were much older, mature and not acting like animals.
If you think about the fact that his life has been playing out in the media like some kind of soap opera for as long as he’s been a public figure, it’s actually a wonder that Chief Keef managed to get anything done, whether it be his debut record proper, Finally Rich, and forthcoming follow-up Bang 3, or indeed his adherence to any kind of touring schedule. Mindblowingly, Keef is still just eighteen years old, and the truth is, he wouldn’t have come to public attention at such a young age if he wasn’t blessed with prodigious talent. In keeping with his utterly hectic lifestyle, though, the shows he has turned up to have often been chaotic affairs; small stages rammed with his entourage, raucous crowds whipping up a feverish atmopshere and a tendency, on Keef’s part, for tardiness in the extreme, it really does seem to be pot luck as to what kind of show you’ll get. When he’s on form, he’s blindingly good, but a quick look over YouTube shows you that on a bad night, he’s lethargic at best and apparently out of it at worst. He’s already got a record of legal trouble that Ol’ Dirty Bastard would’ve been proud of; we can only hope he can straighten himself out sooner than later, because currently, his considerable talent isn’t being properly nurtured.
