Over 15k people came out to see Game, Snoop and Cube do what they do best, as well as DJ Quik, Suga Free, Too Short, E-40, Mack 10 and The Eastsiderz.

Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘No Class Tour’ stopped in Philly on Tuesday night, and all was going well until the part when he jumps in the crowd and his hypeman Slim throws him his microphone. The duo do this at basically every show and it usually goes without incident, but things went a little south in the City of Brotherly Love, as the mic got lost for a bit after Slim threw it.

(Photos + Video) Ty Dolla $ign, Jhene Aiko & Raury Perform For vitaminwater x The FADER’s #uncapped Series
On Tuesday night, The FADER and vitaminwater gathered Jhene Aiko, Ty Dolla $ign and newcomer Raury at The Skybox in Philly for their “Hydrate The Hustle” #uncapped series. If there’s a Ty Dolla $ign show in the tri-state area…or better yet anywhere in the U.S. when I don’t have to work…there’s a high chance I’m there, so I most definitely was in Philly goin’ up on a Tuesday. First up was ATL singer Raury, who’s got quite the buzz on the underground, even having caught the attention of Kanye West recently. I hadn’t heard any of Raury’s music until the show, and I must say I was impressed, and I can see why the industry is buzzing about him being the “next big thing.” Backed by a full band and mixed in with high-energy performances of tracks from his recent Indigo Child mixtape, Raury also covered a few Nirvana and Queen songs…definitely winning me over with a childhood favorite of mine, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
