Respect My Region attended the BabyTron show at The Observatory-North Park to give a recap by capturing fans’ pre-show excitement for his stellar performance.
Kickstarting with DJ performances, the tone was set early with mosh pits and hardcore rap songs. Therefore the relatively young crowd whose energy would continuously be elevated throughout the remainder of the night. With the opening acts of DSM, BabyFxce, 1UpTee, and Certified Trapper, I knew they would amplify BabyTron’s set. Being my first time attending his show this is how the BabyTron recap went:
BabyTron Recap: The Performance
His set began, in my opinion, with one of his best abilities as an artist, his word play and lyricism. As he took the dimly-lit stage the crowd erupted with screams and lyric chanting. The room soon filled with flashlights from each person’s phone, illuminating the theater.
Soon after his opening song I was able to witness Tron up close interacting with the first row fans. Ultimately hopping off the stage following his opening song, a wave of people forced themselves to the front row as he stepped on to the barricade. Being behind him you could see all the emotion and interaction the fans had while he continued to lay down lyrics.
The experience surpassed my expectations based on what I had heard about him as an artist. One of my favorite songs was “Out On Bond“. Mixing his continuous raps, catchy beats, and grittiness, BabyTron is a show I would recommend anyone to go to.
Fan Experience
Being relatively easy to get around the venue I was able to get up close to fans of different ages and energy levels. Some formed small mosh pits to dance in and some were with friends recording and screaming as loud as possible. I felt apart of the crowd and his on and off conversations with his fans in between songs showed his gratitude for the insane amount of energy this crowd brought.
