Space Jesus / Conrank / Zeke Beats / Tha Magistrate

Ignatius Feb 23, 2019

Tha Magistrate was your typical local opener, fitting for the show, nothing to write home about. HiLow by Minnesota is always welcome

Conrank has earned his spot right up there with the rest of the ticket. He turned up the energy from the first drop, throughout the whole set and the b2b2b at the end. I even caught a smug grin on his face right before a particularly nasty drop. (like "HE KNOWS") He did an unreleased Emalkay remix of When I Look At You, which he said will only ever be in his live sets. Closed it out with Mac Miller's Best Day Ever in tribute to him. Fuck Fentanyl. That meant a lot to me in that moment even if I wasn't too familiar with Mac or the situation

Zeke Beats. Turntables. Scratching. Humanoid. This Is America. Yuck. HiLow. Sampling. Dirty Audio. Bleep Bloop. Sir Mixalot. Meltdown. Rave booty. Yeah I love this guy so much. Especially how he showcases stellar physical rhythm in his scratching and sampling. Just raw talent, and sick bass.

Space Jesus opened it up with his Dragonhawks collab with Liquid Stranger. This guy is the true Lord of Bass. Lol at one point he said "Yo my girlfriend wrote this song, what's up". Space Jam, of course. Stage lights going crazy. Then he did that fakeout thing hyping up the biggest drop of the night and dropping into a chill reggae beat lol.

B2B2B Space Jesus / Zeke Beats / Conrank was everything I could hope for. They were just enjoying themselves up there, dropped Basscannon and I Can't Stop. So much fun.
