Joey Fatts, Maxo Kream and A$AP Nast Take Over the Studio at Webster Hall in NYC

After catching ground a few years back, Long Beach native Joey Fatts has continually made a strong name for himself within the sphere of hip-hop. From starting out homeless to assisting A$AP Rocky with the production behind his debut album, Fatts has built his career solely on his own from the ground up. After releasing his highly anticipated Ill Street Blues EP, it was naturally time for Joey to hit the road for his first solo tour, tapping fellow Crip-turned-rapper and Houston’s own Maxo Kream to join alongside as they made their stop in New York City last night (April 23).

Despite neither of the rappers actually being from New York City, or from the east coast for that matter, a multitude of fans took over The Studio at Webster Hall to see the duo run through many of their most notable tracks. To start the night off just right, a few emerging artists, including North Carolina’s The Koolest and the WavThang crew, took the stage to juggle between conscious rap and trap-inspired vibes. Bridging the gap between hip-hop soundscapes, all of the artists proved to be truly inspired and excited for listeners to take heed in their performance. “It doesn’t matter if it’s 30 or 3000 people in the room,” said Blayze the Dreamer of WavThang. “We’re going to perform and do our thing regardless.”

After humbly watching the opening sets from the audience with fans, headliners Joey and Maxo were up next. Most known for his deliverance of non-traditional Houston flair, Maxo Kream took to the stage to perform a few of his street-conscious anthems, including fan favorites from his #MAXO187 project, before growing the crowd hype by bringing out Atlanta’s Playboi Carti for a swift set. Generating the Houston trill sound meshed with the more panoramic thuds from across the country, Maxo was able to naturally build with the audience before setting the stage for Joey to close out.
