It’s been over a year since we last been to a Concert Crave show and we were excited for it to be LIL TJAY in concert for his DESTINED 2 WIN tour!

Crowds flocked to the Pavillon in Worcester, MA on August 20, 2021 to see the Bronx native perform new tracks from his latest project DESTINED 2 WIN.

LIL TJAY did not disappoint! His set was a jammed pack 40 minutes of new and old tracks that had the whole crowd singing along to every lyric.

The Concert Crave crew did a good job hosting the event by providing merchandise and a meet and greet with TJAY after the show.

The audience consisted of groups of people from all over Massachusetts exited to see LIL TJay (the main act) and the opening acts such as Prada J, the boys from YS Productions, the rap duo UglyBoi and TK, and a couple more artist.
They all did their thing and kept the crowd entertained as they awaited the main act to hit the stage.

All in all it was a good night. The smoke machine took my green TRAPSEED hat, which really broke my heart but can honestly say that was the only down side of the night.
AND the fact we didn’t land a drop from LIL TJAY ?! No biggie the Bronx star hits up The Strand in Providence soon so maybe we’ll see! ? ???❤️‍?

Many people do not realize how much goes into putting together a good show. Time after time, VASJAN and his crew prove to be a team that knows what they are doing.
Last Thursday, VASJAN and Ben Joseph put together another successful concert. This time around they brought rapper from Canarsie and W?? affiliate, RAH SWISH!

There was a last minute location change for the event that cause some minor confusion, but Vas and his team did their best to get the logistics right and accommodate all who participated.

The night kicked off for us with a series of interviews from the lead dj, the opening acts and two beautiful coordinators of the event.

The dj of the event was Roxbury resident @scoobyav. His light/ cool personality made for a good curator of vibes as he got the party started early and kept the sound sounding right all night.

We got a chance to sit down with 6 out of the nine performers and get an up close look on who they are and where their music is coming from.
We interviewed Mattapan raper @Mikeeze, two cousin rappers from Brockton @BigAudi6a and @CampaignBenny, Queens rappers @Losoybw and lastly @MikeyMilano from Dorchester.

We also interviewed the only woman performer that night @CinderallaGeneral but unfortunately by the time we got to her the music in the venu was loud and hard to hear ?.
We did get the chance to chop it up and hopefully you’ll see her someday on 2BLUNTLIVE!

Other opening acts included North Cambridge’s @FassCoupe who brought out the Hyde Park street legend @JuniorMass; @Shu1Bill from Lawarance who made his perfromance rememberable with his crazy stage presence; and the prince of the city, Boston that is, @TrottieYGizzle who was responsible for filling up half the venu with his crew alone.
The interviews and some of the performances are already up now on our SHOWS tab. Look out for performance from @FassCoupe @JuniorMass @Shu1Bill and @TrottieYGizzle out later this week here in 2BLUNTLIVE!

As far as the headlining act, it was lit! The WOO’s came in swarming like hurricane and before you know it had everyone ‘Treeshin’ !

RAH SWISH came in wearing a purple ski mask that reflected light in the dark and the moment he started speaking you could feel his star power.

Brodi performed a track or two before he got into his latest released song with the late POP SMOKE ‘BRUSH EM’!
It was a scene to remember but surprisingly the crowd, well the ladies really, went crazy when ‘Treeshin’ actually came on! It was a movie.. that’s coming out soon ??

Like a hurricane, the WOO’s came in did damage and dipped. They moved so fast and were low, we didn’t even see them sneak out the door! Lol.

Anyways, the night was lit af. If you have not experienced one of VASJAN shows your missing out! Stay tuned on our IG (@2BLUNTTV) for updates on upcoming events! Next up is DAVE EAST.

We are gearing up to drop the full RAH SWISH performance video by the end of the week. If you weren’t there and didn’t get to Treesh with everyone, sit back, watch and enjoy the show from the comfort of.. where ever you are, exclusively on 2BLUNTLIVE!

Shout out 2 the photographers @jpsrods @jwillette35 ?❤️‍?

Summer is here and is just as hot as the talent out in the city. Boston has a bubbling music scene with artists of all arrays and with varying styles, our man Kamal aka 20, couldn’t resist but to create an event that showcases some of the heat out here. In Central Sq in Cambridge, MA a new platform for artists has been created and is quite frankly pretty dope. It’s called STARLIGHT located on Bishop Allen Drive, from the research that we have done the place was created as an initiative to give people a space to gather and celebrate life and the arts.

We were bummed that we missed this event, it really seemed like a vibe. Thankfully there were some talented photographers on the scene that took great shots. The photos presented in the blog were brought to you by the lovely Ms. Marika (@Marikarosegold)

The performance line up was pretty stacked, ya boy 20 really did his thing. The young event planner has a pretty good track record of past events and his reputation of providing good vibes seems to persist. This Kamal was first time putting together a concert, he definitely seem to have nailed it. 20 is also infamously known for throwing art showcases in the Boston area and said to be the first to throw a sneaker convention in the city, Sneakergreet.

Kamal is not an artist nor producer but has been spending time with influential artists like SOAP.WAV and had an understanding of the energy and pent up potential in the city. He told us it was all the good music and visuals local artists have been putting out that encouraged him to put together the showcase on Bishop Allen Drive. The free event had a great show out of performers and people attending, we really can’t wait until the next one.

20 went on to tell us that he was a bit nervous when putting the whole thing together, but once things started to get into motion people and artist from all over we’re trying to get involved. This event was necessary and hopefully a start to a good thing.

Stack Gold Ent put together a great show last Friday by bringing out up and coming New York sensation Mr. Swipey. The Brooklyn native came through New England literally spinning the whole night. We haven’t seen that much energy packed in one person in a while. Swipey didn’t come alone though, he brought along his crew including Mr. Exotic, Dilli, Jet Li, Mikey, Ca$hie, Swaggu and more.

This event was unfortunately not as packed as we would have hoped for such a good performer, but Mr. Swipey and his team still put on a great show for all that were there. Swarming with 2BLUNT tees, the audience spun along with Mr. Swipey and shouted out POW all night, which we later found out means ‘Peace Over War’.

We got the chance to chop it up with Swipey and he introduced his crew. The venue happened to be hosting a peculiar event that nigh, which made the logistics to the interview a bit chaotic. Consequently, the interview became kind of a mock based series of questions by all those who were backstage. It was a little hectic but we tried our best to cover it.

Per usual, we interviewed most of the opening acts to the show. Look out for those videos dropping throughout the week exclusively #2BLUNTLIVE.

Stay tuned, full interview with Mr. Swipey, an introduction to his crew, performances and more out soon. For now enjoy these photos by our man Porter!

22Gz and the BLIXKYS came through to Jewels Nightclub in Manchester, NH. Now we know this isn’t in Boston or even Massachusetts for that matter, but for now Jewels has served as the most consistent venue for intimate showcases and this last show, taken place on 6/5/21 demonstrated how lit the Jewels can get!

22Gz had the twirlinas twirling and everyone shouting out ‘THE BLIXKY THE BLIXKY THE BLIXKY’. Word won’t do it justice, wait till you see the footage of the Brooklyn Drill General in action!

The night was filled with great acts throughout the show. We got some great footage of their performances and will be putting them out throughout the week. Most of the acts were gracious enough to give us a short interview and showcase who they are off the stage. Seeing them fresh off a performance was pretty cool, the energy was real.

22Gz got to the venue early and got a chance to vibe with everyone backstage. As aggressive as the General is, ya mans is actually very genuine. He had positive vibes throughout the night, greeting fans graciously, taking pictures and all with a big smile and approachable demeanor.

We had the opportunity to sit down with 22 and ask him a few questions about his short yet impactful career, his plans for the future, where the term ‘Matta’ originated and some more cool facts about the Flatbush native. Stay tuned for that full interview and performance out on Friday!

For now enjoy some of these stills. They include 22Gz and the opening acts! Big shout out 2 Vas and Ben for a great show, we are looking forward 2 the next!

As things slowly start to open back up, venues are taking the right precautions and making the accommodations to a hear by the demand for shows. After the Sheff G show was shut down in Worcester, MA due to COVID violations, @PrinceflyTy and @VasJanzisi take their services to Manchester, NH where the motto is “Live free or die..” ??‍♂️. With that said, we shot out to JEWEL Music Venue for a show headlining Yxng K.A, Philadelphia’s Stack or Starve artist.

The crew at JEWEL’s crew were receptive and had a pretty cool and innovative seating arrangement for the show. With less COVID worries air, opening acts hit the stage and tore it up.

We had the opportunity to sit down with K.A and do an interview, click the SHOWS tab to see the full interview out on Friday April 30, 2021. For now enjoy these pictures brought to you by @Porter.1no

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and it looks like Cupid’s arrow struck a bit early this year.

The island drums give Koopa Troopa Beach vibes and DYM’s smooth vocals leaves the audience wondering what else he has to offer. Dope track for the season for sure and can prob vibe out to this one up until the Summer ☀️ ☀️ ?

Check out his lyric video provided in the link below!
