Rich Brian In Concert
From overnight YouTube sensation to the face of emerging Asian hip-hop, Brian Imanuel, better known as Rich Brian, has had a devoted fan base at his concerts since his debut U.S. Tour, Come to My Party. On the mic, the 19-year-old Indonesian rapper brings one part comedic banter in the shade of his idol Childish Gambino, and another part emotive wordplay layered atop dense, rhythmic production. Musically speaking, Brian's stage is stripped down to the old-school DJ and MC setup, but he flashes his tongue-in-cheek personality and distinct stylistic flair at every turn. A notably strong performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden saw Brian remove a trench coat to reveal a snakeskin tuxedo, as he danced through "Cold" with pizzazz. The moment served as an apt representation of who he is as an artist: More than just a product of the digital age, he's a face of hip-hop's global appeal. He's headlining the 88 Degrees & Rising Tour, leading the charge on a loaded lineup of Asian hip-hop's best young rappers, all on the 88 Degrees label.
Rich Brian Background
Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 1999, Rich Brian learned to speak English watching YouTube clips and studying the deliveries of rappers like Macklemore, Kanye West, and Childish Gambino. When he was still known as Rich Chigga, he broke through with the viral video for his single "Dat $tick," which gained the attention of the rap community and has since clocked up over 100 million views. A name change, a record deal, and a move to Los Angeles later, Rich Brian's debut LP, ‘Amen,' peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200. Now under his belt Brian has an Indonesian Choice Awards Breakthrough Act of the Year accolade, collaborations with other artists including 21 Savage, Ghostface Killah, and Diplo, and a claim to the title of first Asian artist to hit No. 1 on the iTunes hip-hop charts.
HE WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!!!!!!!!~ I have always respected him, but now after seeing him live, he holds a special place in my heart as an artist!!
Brian is my dad and my dad really pulled through for this show. I would have preferred more Rich Brian set time rather than Don Krez and August 08 set time (they still wildin tho). I also almost died in the pit but that’s okay bc it was for my dad. Man this dude sounds so good live. Everybody complaining that these nights has so much autotune and how Brian can sing it live but he KILLED IT MY MANZ MHMMMMMM. Thanks for the best night my dude I felt litty titty.
Security was kind ;; thanks for not separating me from my father and overall was so cool with the amazing sound systems everyone could hear and just aaaa a memorable time
Talented！Wish would see him again in Beijing！！！Love him.
It's all cool if u like the other people from 88 I'm sure you would have loved it, but they just aren't for me, I only went for Brian and joji, but some of the acts in my opinion were almost too bad to sit through
Rich Brian is AMAZING liveee. This is my fourth time seeing him live and he just keeps getting better and better. Such a talented rapper
Fun time with great artists, great music as well!!
It was cool and Lit! Really enjoyed the show even though Keith Ape wasn't there. Other than that it was a good show. Made friends at the show everyone was cool and nice. It's going to be one of those concerts that I will never forget because it was a great concert.
Everyone was amazing! Rich Brian absolutely killed it!!!
First of all, Rich Brian was amazing. So was KOHH, Niki, August08, Higher Brothers and Joji. However, this is a review for the 88rising tour as a whole. Kieth Ape was on the lineup and he DID NOT PLAY. HE WAS NOT THERE. What makes that worse is that there was no explanation or any kind of update from 88rising or the venue. I, along with everyone in the audience, paid money for these tickets. We were promised something and were not given what we paid for, not even any kind of update as to what was going on. No one knows why an artist promised in the lineup never showed. Like, I feel BAD for people who purchased these tickets solely to see Kieth Ape, cause they got scammed. On top of that, the rest of the artist's sets seemed rushed and cut short. I think Joji only played like 4-5 songs. And at the end, when they sang Midsummer Sadness, Joji and Higher Brothers didn't even come on stage and the song wasn't even sang to completion.
Rich Brian rocks! Smart Financial Centre made the concert even more memorable!
I absolutely adored it,everyone should support them.
This was my first concert I had ever gone to. The venue was gorgeous and the wait time to get in wasnt bad at all. I ended up pretty close to the stage which was awesome. Each performer did really well. Sen Morimoto was the opener and was unfortunately under appreciated by the crowd. Even so, his performance was one of the most exciting parts for me because of his talented saxophone performance. He really stood out. The other groups between played very well, but not as many familiar songs as I thought there would be. The biggest hype was for Joji and Brian who really made the whole show worth it. Joji killed it with his new Ballads and brought such a cute and unique energy to the room. He even showed off his new juggling skills and wore a hat with a spinner on it. He had the whole venue singing along and performed really well. I really came to the show for Rich Brian and he did not disappoint. Brian had an incredible stage energy and moved the crowd. His music was awesome and had me screaming along. Then finally when all the 88 crew came together at the end, my heart was full and I was so satisfied with the money I spent to see them. I will definitely be seeing them again.
His energy on stage is spectucular and he really knows how to get the crowd going.
I wish when they all came together at the end they would have stayed for more than 1 song.
It was super amazing! There was never a dull moment and the crowd was always entertained. The opening artist was so great and is now one of my new favorite artists. The entire night felt so unreal but it was so unforgettable and everyone was so into all the music and the artists. It truly was the best ever.
My son and I had a great time .. All performers were awesome .. I especially loved Joji❤️
All of these artists are incredible live performers. Amazing fan base and all-around fantastic show. Would love to see them all again.
Seriously one of the best shows I’ve seen in awhile. It was absolutely worth the 7 hour ride from Minneapolis to see!!
To me you know it’s a good concert when your snapchat story is 13 and a half minutes long. The colorful lights of each artist on their set made it feel almost magical and the energy displayed by each of the performers was incredible. The one problem I had with the concert was that the sets of each artist was short even though there are a lot of artists performing. My highlight of the concert was singing the chorus of SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK as loud as I could with everyone in the concert. I’ve only been to 5 concerts in my life and this tops every performance I’ve ever been to. 10/10. This will be a night that I will always remember and it just goes to show. 88rising is double happiness.
