THE UNDERACHIEVERS IN CONCERT:
In just a few short years, Brooklyn-based rap duo The Underachievers has racked up an impressive resume that includes two critically acclaimed mixtapes, a spot on the roster of Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder Records, and a stellar debut LP that landed at No. 11 on the rap charts. Their hazy, trippy productions and wonderfully weird rhymes have made them an underground hip hop sensation, bringing fans out in droves to their swagged-out live shows. Whether they're trading verses on cutting-edge tracks like "Metropolis" or throwing it back with early favorites like "Gold Soul Theory", members AK and Issa Gold always burn up the stage on tour, treating ticket buyers to bounce-worthy performances that leave them wanting more.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Issa Gold and AK -- the lyrical geniuses behind The Underachievers -- grew up a few blocks from each other in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn. AK began rapping at age 11 as The Underachiever, and when Issa Gold began writing lyrics seriously in 2011 the pair joined forces. The duo's early tracks "So Devilish" and "Gold Soul Theory" caught the attention of revered LA producer Flying Lotus, who flew them out to California for a meeting and signed them after seeing them perform. They made their official debut in 2013 with the mixtape Indigoism, an auspicious release that received praise from mainstream media including the BBC. They followed up a few months later with the mixtape Lords of Flatbush, another critical success that raised anticipation for their full-length debut album to a fever pitch. That album, 2014's Cellar Door: Terminus Ut Exordium, lived up to expectations, blazing up the rap and hip hop charts and drawing them out for extensive touring. In late 2014 they released the Clockwork Indigo EP, a collaboration with fellow rappers Flatbush Zombies that has fans eager to catch the duo at their upcoming shows.
I got the VIP meet and greet and ended up missing the normal time M&G. They went out of their way to meet me still after the meet and greet had ended. Very genuine and somewhat surreal experience.
This was one of the best concerts I've seen this year. This venue was perfect to really enjoy local artists without feeling overwhelmed. The opening acts of Warm Brew and Injury Reserve were awesome. I really appreciated the fact that they came over to hangout by the merch table to meet their fans. The underachievers put on one amazing show too. They played a little bit of old classics along with new music. They crowd was awesome and into it and when they bright out fellow New York rappers Flatbush Zombies and Joey Bada$$ the placed erupted with cheers. I would definitely go see them again.
Warm brew was an amazing opening act and interacted with the crowd in a great way. Injury reserve blasted their music too loud and one of their members got into an argument with a concert goer. UA being my favorite music group was an unbelievable experience and meeting them was something else. Solace and AK are great people and treated my friends and I in a friendly genuine manner.
You are stupid if you do not go to one of their shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The main and a few of the opening acts were great. Wasn't pleased that we had to wait for one of the opening acts to show up.
This show was absolutely amazing. Every single one of the performers were high power and full of energy. Definitely recommend this event to anyone.
Only one word can describe how awesome this show was and it's not "awesome". It was LIT!!!
