STR8 EXCLUSIVE: DJ SYLO x CHIP THA RIP x KID CUDI
Words by Lucas Alvarado-Farrar
This past Saturday Kid Cudi continued his nationwide Cud Life Tour with a stop in Columbia, Maryland at the Merriweather Post Pavilion. Performing in front of a crowd of over 7,000 the Cudder killed yet another show that had his fans gleefully singing along and screaming for encore after encore as the outdoor venue shook with energy. Chip Tha Ripper, Rage Cage and DJ SYLO joined Cudi for a line up that was a mix of electro, rock and hip hop. STR8NYC was lucky enough to get an exclusive on the scene thanks to the DMV DJ, SYLO (Sort Your Life Out), who opened up the show. Check it out below:
SYLO rocked the from start to finish with a mixture of feel good, hip hop, funk and dubstep that had people grooving one second and bouncing the next. He finished it off with a plank as Kreayshawn blasted in the background – epic.
Chip came out next for a set that deaded the crowd. While the Cleveland rapper has bars and deserves respect for discovering Cudi in the first place, he got no love from the crowd. He needs more energy when he performs for fans that aren’t already familiar with his tracks.
Coming out to RevOfEv Cudi had the crowd bobbing to his unique brand of lone ranger hip hop. With a set list that spanned his entire discography from A Kid Named Cudi to Man on the Moon II, he gave the audience a taste of his evolution as an artist.
