Tonight: Steve Aoki and Kendrick Lamar


Tonight is Spring Fest, which because of this past week’s cold weather and rain will be held indoors at Alumni Arena on UB’s North Campus instead of down the street at scenic Baird Point. Happy spring! The good news is that Steve Aoki and Kendrick Lamar are playing.

I’m sure whatever verbage I use to describe Steve Aoki will somehow be wrong, but here’s what you need to know about him: he’s a dubstep guy and his last name sounds like some kind of vegetable. I can, however, comment in more detail on Kendrick Lamar. His second album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, is more than just a huge pain in the ass to type: it was the album of the year, and the catalyst for his sudden ascent to the best in the biz.

Rap concerts are sometimes tough to listen to, especially in arenas. They can be great, sure. They can also turn into a random noise competition between the 17 members of the on-stage entourage.  Kendrick Lamar will be great. You heard it here first. He’s a smooth, versatile rapper and capable singer, and will absolutely put on a memorable show.  

Details above!
