NETTSPEND Embraces Himself In Eternal Youth With his Early Life Crisis Tour. - Salt Lake City
The alluring 19 year old rapper, model, and personification of Gen Z culture, Nettspend, released his latest project “Early Life Crisis” an 18 track body of work featuring fellow collaborator and rage rap artist OsamaSon, by far the most likely artists in the space to f*ck around with their peers and make a magnum opus for the next generation of musicians, alongside a feature from recently released “Make America Slime Again” tour headliner YoungBoy Never Broke Again on “masked up”, where he masters his stutters and catchy lyrics with dopamine intriguing hooks and punchlines.
The fan-dubbed “VA Grim Reaper” brought his show to Salt Lake City on a 50,000 ticket selling tour across 34 shows, beginning in Vancouver and ending in the ever so infamous Hollywood Palladium in California.
Warren Snyder covered two dates of the tour in Denver, Colorado, and in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Denver’s recap being featured in Humaine Magazine’s Volume One, Issue One releasing this summer alongside OsamaSon, Che, ThirteenDegrees°, and more chart topping, youthful artists making their names known through their sonics.
I would describe Utah as a blend between Boulder and Morrison of my home. Lots of music, familiar faces, art, and similar taste in music. Arriving to the venue, I was met with baggy clothes, dyed hair, piercings, middle schoolers spewing jokes about “Tung Tung Tung Sahur” or as many also refer to him, “Triple T”, fans making TikToks, and a blend of the youth, exactly what Humaine continuously looks for.
Entering The Complex was a unique experience to say the least. The venue was PACKED with contorted bodies once the “Bad Ass Fucking Kid” took the stage with “you ready?” alongside a live camera conducted by Carson Jacobs, displaying a group hug between Nettspend, Zuro, and John Ross being shown on Dash Aaroniokoski’s marvel of a stage/production. The show began with fans anticipating to jump, shriek, punch, and shove one another in the humid pits of the crowd.
The performance was nothing short of amazing. New tracks, unreleased songs, hypnotizing visuals, lasers and pyrotechnics syncing to the beat drop of each song alongside his jumps and lyrics. With the future of music already being shown to excel in their engagement of the youth, performances leaving you out of breath and a stomping thrill for more, the “Early Life Crisis” tour is without a doubt one for the books, especially for young artists to look up to in their performance scene.
Here are some photos of the night, captured by Warren Snyder.
