Blige and Pepsi’s relationship is set set continue this month in Atlanta with the iconic singer’s inaugural Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit. The three-day event will consist of a comedy night, a gospel brunch, workshops, panels, live shows, and more. Given its newfound soldout status, it’s safe to say that the State Farm Arena show on Saturday night is the main attraction. In addition to a headlining performance from Mary. J. Blige, there will be live sets from Chaka Khan, Xscape, City Girls, Baby Tate, Omerettà The Great, and more incredible female artists.

In the week leading up to Freddie Gibbs’ arrival in Atlanta, the Masquerade has already issued a low ticket warning, so if you want to see New York rapper MIKE, 17-year-old Maryland-based rapper redveil, and Freddie Gibbs when they take over Heaven this month, make sure you secure your tickets as soon as possible. $27. 7:00 p.m. Masquerade, 50 Lower Alabama Street #110, Atlanta, GA 30303. masqueradeatlanta.com @masquerade_atl !!Sat., May. 14 Injury Reserve, Armand Hammer, AKAI SOLO, The Loft — A year after losing the irreplaceable Jordan “Stepa J.” Groggs in 2020, Injury Reserve delivered their sophomore album, By The Time I Get To Phoenix.The trio-turned duo already toured the experimental, imaginative, and heart-wrenching album last fall, but this spring, they’ve decided to hit the road once more alongside Armand Hammer and AKAI SOLO, giving fans who missed out on the BY THE TIME I GET TOuring experience another chance to see Ritchie with a T and Parker Corey live. The entire 11-date joint tour will take place over the course of May, with the Atlanta stop just four dates in.

When she finally returned to the spotlight earlier this spring, the Spanish Town, Jamaica native came correct. Koffee delivered her official debut studio album, titled Gifted, on March 25, and in support of the critically acclaimed album, the Rihanna-cosigned artist has been touring the record since April.

While the Hip-Hop community continues to mourn Dolph’s passing, his cousin and close collaborator Key Glock has continued to pay homage to his fallen friend, most recently with his Yellow Tape 2 (Deluxe) track “Proud.” This April, the Memphis, Tennessee native is embarking on his first nationwide headlining tour in promotion of his 2021 output, from Yellow Tape 2 to his Young Dolph collaborative project Dum and Dummer 2. The Yellow Tape Tour will kick off in Atlanta on April 4, so attendees will be the first to see Key Glock take the next big step in his career. $30-$37+. 8:00 p.m. Buckhead Theater, 3110 Roswell Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305. www.thebuckheadtheatre.com. @buckheadtheatre !!Wed., Apr. 6 EST Gee, Center Stage — Until a few years ago, the biggest Hip-Hop act to come out of Kentucky was the renowned 2000s rap group Nappy Roots, but a wave of hungry new artists — with Jack Harlow and EST Gee at the forefront — is looking to change that. For those who aren’t familiar with EST Gee, the Louisville, Kentucky, native made a big splash in 2021 after signing with Yo Gotti’s CMG Records and landing a guest spot on Lil Baby’s platinum single “Real As It Gets.” With major label backing and a huge co-sign under his belt, EST Gee kept his momentum going by dropping off his fifth mixtape, Bigger Than Life. This spring, the CMG artist is bringing that project to life with a loose string of gigs across the East Coast, so be sure to check him out when he kicks off his trek with a highly anticipated show at Center Stage. $45. 7:00 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Wed., Apr. 13 Charli XCX, Baby Tate, The Eastern — Charli XCX’s music may not fit within the confines of Hip-Hop, but Baby Tate, the opening act on the North American leg of her CRASH Tour, most certainly is. After an eventful year that saw her joining the cast of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and inking a major label deal with Warner Records, Baby Tate has been unstoppable. From last fall’s “Pedi” to this spring’s “What’s Love / Sl*t Him Out,” the Decatur native’s latest string of releases have been incredible, and with her highly anticipated double mixtape on the horizon, CRASH Tour attendees may get an early sneak peek of her forthcoming material. $70-$290+. 8:00 p.m. The Eastern, 777 Memorial Dr SE Building C, Atlanta, GA 30316. www.easternatl.com. @easternatl !!Fri., Apr. 15 Young Thug, State Farm Arena — Over the past three years, the music industry has witnessed Young Thug blossom into a tried-and-true hitmaker and record label executive. As an eccentric artist who was easily one of the most enigmatic figures in Hip-Hop throughout the 2010s, Young Thug transitioned from dropping genre case studies in the form of commercial mixtapes to releasing official studio albums, starting with chart-topping So Much Fun in 2019. Last year, the Atlanta native finally returned with his sophomore record Punk, and while it was able to bring him back to the number one position on the Billboard 200, Punk’s most impressive quality is that it was Young Thug’s second chart-topping project of 2021. Six months prior to the release of Punk, Thug spearheaded his YSL Records’ Slime Language 2 compilation, which rose to the top of the charts by enlisting sensational newcomers like YTB Trench, Unfoonk, and Yung Kayo and pumping out hits like “Ski,” “Solid,” and “Paid The Fine.” In true Young Thug fashion, however, the YSL head honcho’s incredible 2021 run has surprisingly not been followed by a tour announcement. Instead, Young Thug will be hosting a special one-night-only show called Young Thug and Friends, and while the promised special guests have yet to be revealed, Thug’s long list of comrades is strong enough to ensure that the concert will be a night to remember. $70-$290+. 7:30 p.m. State Farm Arena, 1 State Farm Dr, Atlanta, GA 30303. www.statefarmarena.com. @statefarmarena !!Sat., Apr. 16 BbyMutha, Vinyl — Many rappers claim to be real in their music, but few of them are as authentic as BbyMutha. The Chattanooga, Tennessee-born femcee first made a name for herself after “Rules,” from her 2017 EP Glow Kit: Black Girl, went viral, and three years later, she finally released her debut studio album, Muthaland, in 2020. Praised for its raw outlook on sexuality, trauma, and everyday struggles, BbyMutha’s debut made a lasting impression on her fans and critics alike, and now, she’ll be performing it live on the Muthaland tour with support from her fellow Chattanooga artist Kindora. $15. 8:00 p.m. Vinyl, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Wed., Apr. 20 Lil Durk, Coca-Cola Roxy — A decade deep into his music career, Lil Durk is at the top of his game. In March, the Chicago-bred rapper earned his first Billboard 200 chart-topper with the release of his seventh studio album 7220, which came loaded with high-profile features from Future, Gunna, and Summer Walker, among others. Less than a full month later, the OTF founder is already set to hit the road and promote his latest record on a 17-date North American tour. Given Lil Durk’s close affiliation with Lil Baby, Future, Young Thug, and several other local artists, the Atlanta stop of his 7220 Tour will almost certainly bring out some of the city’s biggest rap stars. $69-$99+ 8:00 p.m. Coca-Cola Roxy, 800 Battery Ave SE #500, Atlanta, GA 30339. www.cocacolaroxy.com. @cocacolaroxy Saba, Center Stage — In an uncanny series of events, yet another popular Chicago emcee will be performing at a local venue on April 20. Saba, best known for his lauded 2018 album CARE FOR ME, returns to Atlanta for his first show here since 2019, when — fresh off a huge guest spot on Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III — he opened up for J.I.D. on the Catch Me If You Can Tour. Three years later, Saba is the headlining act on his Back Home Tour, which is set to bring his new album, Few Good Things, to 26 different cities across North America. When Saba arrives in Atlanta, expect opening support from Dreamville rapper Lute and rising singer-songwriter Amindi. $25. 8:00 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Fri., Apr. 22 Muni Long, The Loft — TikTok virality has the power to propel a song to placements on curated DSP playlists and, eventually, the top of the Billboard charts, but it doesn’t always result in a strong career for aspiring artists. For Muni Long, however, her viral hit “Hrs And Hrs” was the perfect push to bring her decade’s worth of contributions as a singer-songwriter into the spotlight. After releasing her critically acclaimed, yet commercially underwhelming debut studio album Jukebox as Priscilla Renea in 2009, Muni Long transitioned out of the spotlight for approximately ten years and focused on songwriting. Since then, she has helped pen a multitude of records, including Rihanna’s “California King Bed,” Fifth Harmony’s “Write On Me,” Demi Lovato’s “In Case,” K. Michelle’s “V.S.O.P.,” and Ariana Grande’s “just like magic,” among others. Thanks to the recent success of “Hrs And Hrs,” Muni Long has also gained more notoriety as a solo artist, and as a result, she’ll be bringing her latest album, Public Displays Of Affection to The Loft later this month. $18+. 9:00 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Sat., Apr. 23 Latto, Tabernacle — At just 23 years old, Latto has already cemented herself as a member of Atlanta’s Hip-Hop royalty. Following her breakout hit “B*tch From Da Souf,” Latto became the first female rapper from Atlanta to go gold and platinum, and soon after, she dropped her debut album Queen of Da Souf via RCA in 2020. Two years — and a stage name change — later, the de facto queen of Clayton County is fresh off of a successful sophomore campaign that started in 2021 with her Mariah Carey-sampling single “Big Energy” and culminated in the release of her second studio album, titled 777, in March. This month, Latto will finally return to Atlanta for the victory lap of her ongoing Latto 777 Tour, and the homecoming show is set to be an unforgettable one for the “Soufside” rapper. $33-$55+. 8:00 p.m. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303. www.tabernacleatl.com/. @tabernacleatl —CL— " ["tracker_field_contentWikiPage_raw"]=> string(9581) "!!~~#0000ff:Mon., Apr. 4~~ {DIV()}{img fileId="50166" stylebox="float: left; margin-right:25px;" desc="desc" link="" width="200px" responsive="y"}{DIV} __Key Glock, Buckhead Theater__ — Last November, the world lost Young Dolph, a father, a beloved rapper, and a vocal proponent for independence and ownership in the music industry.

Last year, the Atlanta native finally returned with his sophomore record Punk, and while it was able to bring him back to the number one position on the Billboard 200, Punk’s most impressive quality is that it was Young Thug’s second chart-topping project of 2021. Six months prior to the release of Punk, Thug spearheaded his YSL Records’ Slime Language 2 compilation, which rose to the top of the charts by enlisting sensational newcomers like YTB Trench, Unfoonk, and Yung Kayo and pumping out hits like “Ski,” “Solid,” and “Paid The Fine.” In true Young Thug fashion, however, the YSL head honcho’s incredible 2021 run has surprisingly not been followed by a tour announcement. Instead, Young Thug will be hosting a special one-night-only show called Young Thug and Friends, and while the promised special guests have yet to be revealed, Thug’s long list of comrades is strong enough to ensure that the concert will be a night to remember. $70-$290+. 7:30 p.m. State Farm Arena, 1 State Farm Dr, Atlanta, GA 30303. www.statefarmarena.com. @statefarmarena !!Sat., Apr. 16 BbyMutha, Vinyl — Many rappers claim to be real in their music, but few of them are as authentic as BbyMutha. The Chattanooga, Tennessee-born femcee first made a name for herself after “Rules,” from her 2017 EP Glow Kit: Black Girl, went viral, and three years later, she finally released her debut studio album, Muthaland, in 2020. Praised for its raw outlook on sexuality, trauma, and everyday struggles, BbyMutha’s debut made a lasting impression on her fans and critics alike, and now, she’ll be performing it live on the Muthaland tour with support from her fellow Chattanooga artist Kindora. $15. 8:00 p.m. Vinyl, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Wed., Apr. 20 Lil Durk, Coca-Cola Roxy — A decade deep into his music career, Lil Durk is at the top of his game. In March, the Chicago-bred rapper earned his first Billboard 200 chart-topper with the release of his seventh studio album 7220, which came loaded with high-profile features from Future, Gunna, and Summer Walker, among others. Less than a full month later, the OTF founder is already set to hit the road and promote his latest record on a 17-date North American tour. Given Lil Durk’s close affiliation with Lil Baby, Future, Young Thug, and several other local artists, the Atlanta stop of his 7220 Tour will almost certainly bring out some of the city’s biggest rap stars. $69-$99+ 8:00 p.m. Coca-Cola Roxy, 800 Battery Ave SE #500, Atlanta, GA 30339. www.cocacolaroxy.com. @cocacolaroxy Saba, Center Stage — In an uncanny series of events, yet another popular Chicago emcee will be performing at a local venue on April 20. Saba, best known for his lauded 2018 album CARE FOR ME, returns to Atlanta for his first show here since 2019, when — fresh off a huge guest spot on Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III — he opened up for J.I.D. on the Catch Me If You Can Tour. Three years later, Saba is the headlining act on his Back Home Tour, which is set to bring his new album, Few Good Things, to 26 different cities across North America. When Saba arrives in Atlanta, expect opening support from Dreamville rapper Lute and rising singer-songwriter Amindi. $25. 8:00 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Fri., Apr. 22 Muni Long, The Loft — TikTok virality has the power to propel a song to placements on curated DSP playlists and, eventually, the top of the Billboard charts, but it doesn’t always result in a strong career for aspiring artists. For Muni Long, however, her viral hit “Hrs And Hrs” was the perfect push to bring her decade’s worth of contributions as a singer-songwriter into the spotlight. After releasing her critically acclaimed, yet commercially underwhelming debut studio album Jukebox as Priscilla Renea in 2009, Muni Long transitioned out of the spotlight for approximately ten years and focused on songwriting. Since then, she has helped pen a multitude of records, including Rihanna’s “California King Bed,” Fifth Harmony’s “Write On Me,” Demi Lovato’s “In Case,” K. Michelle’s “V.S.O.P.,” and Ariana Grande’s “just like magic,” among others. Thanks to the recent success of “Hrs And Hrs,” Muni Long has also gained more notoriety as a solo artist, and as a result, she’ll be bringing her latest album, Public Displays Of Affection to The Loft later this month. $18+. 9:00 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. www.centerstage-atlanta.com. @centerstageatl !!Sat., Apr. 23 Latto, Tabernacle — At just 23 years old, Latto has already cemented herself as a member of Atlanta’s Hip-Hop royalty. Following her breakout hit “B*tch From Da Souf,” Latto became the first female rapper from Atlanta to go gold and platinum, and soon after, she dropped her debut album Queen of Da Souf via RCA in 2020. Two years — and a stage name change — later, the de facto queen of Clayton County is fresh off of a successful sophomore campaign that started in 2021 with her Mariah Carey-sampling single “Big Energy” and culminated in the release of her second studio album, titled 777, in March. This month, Latto will finally return to Atlanta for the victory lap of her ongoing Latto 777 Tour, and the homecoming show is set to be an unforgettable one for the “Soufside” rapper. $33-$55+. 8:00 p.m. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303. www.tabernacleatl.com/. @tabernacleatl —CL— Dawit N.M.

This month, you’ll be able to form an even deeper appreciation for the Canadian artist because she’ll be stopping by the Loft on March 10 for the seventh stop of her Alpha Tour. A majority of her other tour dates have already sold out, so secure your tickets as soon as possible. — Joshua Robinson $25-$75+.

Although the two guest features he received from his cousin Kendrick Lamar helped build hype for his debut, Keem is embarking on 30-date tour — 22 of which have already managed to sell out — all on his own. In a matter of weeks, the GRAMMY-nominated artist will be performing in front of a sold-out crowd at the Tabernacle, and fortunately, the resell tickets are modestly priced, giving all of his local listeners the opportunity to see the young protege live for the first time — Joshua Robinson $54-$205+. 8:00 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com @tabernacleatl !!Fri., Mar. 25 Maxo Kream, Aisle 5 — Last fall, Maxo Kream and Tyler, The Creator teamed up for the booming single “BIG PERSONA,” and in an unlikely turn of events, both artists will be hitting Atlanta — albeit at two separate venues — on March 25. When he arrives in Little Five Points later this month, Maxo Kream will be roughly halfway through his Big Persona Tour, and with the help of his openers Peso Peso, Lul Bub, and Li Heat, the Houston native will be bringing his introspective brand of street rap to the intimate setting of Aisle 5. Maxo Kream’s latest album, WEIGHT OF THE WORLD, was one of the most refreshing hip-hop records of 2021, and although attendees will likely go without seeing Tyler and Maxo unite on stage for an exciting performance of “BIG PERSONA,” his Aisle 5 show should be impressive nevertheless. — Joshua Robinson $25. 8:30 p.m. Aisle 5, 1123 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. aisle5atl.com/ @aisle5_atl Tyler, The Creator, Gas South District — A year after winning the GRAMMY for Best Rap Album in 2020 for his pop-leaning fifth studio album Igor, Tyler, The Creator released Call Me If You Get Lost, a rap-heavy record worthy of that distinction. The unlikely superstar’s latest albumis filled with hard-hitting tracks like “Lumberjack,” “Corso,” and “Juggernaut,” and this month, his Atlanta-based fans will get the chance to hear some of the record’s biggest smashes in person. Joining Tyler, The Creator on tour are Kali Uchis, Vince Staples, and Teezo Touchdown. Attendees are in for a compelling mix of rap, pop, R&B, and rock. — Joshua Robinson $49.50-$149.50. 7:00 p.m. Gas South District, 6400 Sugarloaf Pkwy, Duluth, 30097. gassouthdistrict.com @GasSouthDistrict !!Fri., Apr. 1 Jacquees, Tabernacle — Canceled. Tkay Maidza, Aisle 5 — Apart from Iggy Azalea and The Kid LAROI, you’d be hard-pressed to name a globally known rapper from Australia, let alone a Black one, but the sensational Zimbabwean-born Tkay Maidza is quickly shaping up to be one of the most important acts to come out from the land down under. From 2018 to 2021, Tkay Maidza pumped out her creative Last Year Was Weird project series, with her output strong enough to land her an opening spot for the Atlanta, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Washington D.C. stops on Billie Eillish’s Happier Than Ever World Tour last month. This exciting rising artist is set to return to the A for her headlining Last Year Was Weird Tour. Be sure to see her in the intimate confines of a small club while you still can when she plays at Aisle 5. — Joshua Robinson $15. 7:00 p.m. Aisle 5, 1123 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. aisle5atl.com/ @aisle5_atl Rick Ross, Jeezy, T.I., Gucci Mane, State Farm Arena — Two years ago, if hip-hop enthusiasts had heard that longtime nemeses Jeezy and Gucci Mane would be teaming up for a star-studded Atlanta concert, they would have assumed that some local promoter was playing a cruel April Fool’s Day joke on the city. However, following their reconciliation during their popular Verzuz match in 2020, Gucci Mane and Jeezy are in fact joining fellow hip-hop legends Rick Ross, T.I., Trina, and DJ Drama for the highly anticipated Legendz of the Streetz Tour on April 1. With so many beloved acts on one bill, the show is practically a Southern rap fans’ ultimate delight, so if you sleep on the Legendz of the Streetz Tour, the joke is on you. — Joshua Robinson $65-$450+. 7:00 p.m. State Farm Arena, 1 State Farm Dr, Atlanta, 30303. statefarmarena.com @masquerade_atl !!Mon., Apr. 4 Lucky Daye, Center Stage — A release date for Lucky Daye’s sophomore studio album CandyDrip has not yet been revealed, but one thing is for sure — the New Orleans native is hitting the road this spring in support of the forthcoming record. While listeners likely have their fingers crossed that CandyDrip will drop before Lucky Daye hits the city, the talented R&B artist still has plenty of music that he has yet to tour, including his 2021 Valentine’s Day duets EP Table For Two. The Atlanta stop of the CandyDrip Tour actually takes place the night after the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards, so if Lucky Daye ends up winning Best Traditional R&B Performance for “How Much Can A Heart Take” or Best Progressive R&B Album for Table For Two, concert attendees will be in for a celebratory evening like no other. The show is already sold out, but resell tickets are definitely worth it. — Joshua Robinson $200-$343+. 7:00 p.m. Center Stage, 50 Lower Alabama Street #110, Atlanta, 30303. masqueradeatlanta.com @masquerade_atl" ["tracker_field_contentWikiPage_raw"]=> string(6734) "!!Thurs., Mar. 10 __Charlotte Day Wilson, The Loft — __Whether you first heard of Charlotte Day Wilson from the sample of her 2019 track “Mountains” on Drake’s ''Certified Lover Boy'' cut “Fair Trade,” or from her impressive 2021 debut album ''Alpha'', you’ve already had a glimpse of the singer, songwriter, and producer’s incredible talents.

Although the two guest features he received from his cousin Kendrick Lamar helped build hype for his debut, Keem is embarking on 30-date tour — 22 of which have already managed to sell out — all on his own. In a matter of weeks, the GRAMMY-nominated artist will be performing in front of a sold-out crowd at the Tabernacle, and fortunately, the resell tickets are modestly priced, giving all of his local listeners the opportunity to see the young protege live for the first time — Joshua Robinson $54-$205+. 8:00 p.m. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St NW, Atlanta, 30303. tabernacleatl.com @tabernacleatl !!Fri., Mar. 25 Maxo Kream, Aisle 5 — Last fall, Maxo Kream and Tyler, The Creator teamed up for the booming single “BIG PERSONA,” and in an unlikely turn of events, both artists will be hitting Atlanta — albeit at two separate venues — on March 25. When he arrives in Little Five Points later this month, Maxo Kream will be roughly halfway through his Big Persona Tour, and with the help of his openers Peso Peso, Lul Bub, and Li Heat, the Houston native will be bringing his introspective brand of street rap to the intimate setting of Aisle 5. Maxo Kream’s latest album, WEIGHT OF THE WORLD, was one of the most refreshing hip-hop records of 2021, and although attendees will likely go without seeing Tyler and Maxo unite on stage for an exciting performance of “BIG PERSONA,” his Aisle 5 show should be impressive nevertheless. — Joshua Robinson $25. 8:30 p.m. Aisle 5, 1123 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. aisle5atl.com/ @aisle5_atl Tyler, The Creator, Gas South District — A year after winning the GRAMMY for Best Rap Album in 2020 for his pop-leaning fifth studio album Igor, Tyler, The Creator released Call Me If You Get Lost, a rap-heavy record worthy of that distinction. The unlikely superstar’s latest albumis filled with hard-hitting tracks like “Lumberjack,” “Corso,” and “Juggernaut,” and this month, his Atlanta-based fans will get the chance to hear some of the record’s biggest smashes in person. Joining Tyler, The Creator on tour are Kali Uchis, Vince Staples, and Teezo Touchdown. Attendees are in for a compelling mix of rap, pop, R&B, and rock. — Joshua Robinson $49.50-$149.50. 7:00 p.m. Gas South District, 6400 Sugarloaf Pkwy, Duluth, 30097. gassouthdistrict.com @GasSouthDistrict !!Fri., Apr. 1 Jacquees, Tabernacle — Canceled. Tkay Maidza, Aisle 5 — Apart from Iggy Azalea and The Kid LAROI, you’d be hard-pressed to name a globally known rapper from Australia, let alone a Black one, but the sensational Zimbabwean-born Tkay Maidza is quickly shaping up to be one of the most important acts to come out from the land down under. From 2018 to 2021, Tkay Maidza pumped out her creative Last Year Was Weird project series, with her output strong enough to land her an opening spot for the Atlanta, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Washington D.C. stops on Billie Eillish’s Happier Than Ever World Tour last month. This exciting rising artist is set to return to the A for her headlining Last Year Was Weird Tour. Be sure to see her in the intimate confines of a small club while you still can when she plays at Aisle 5. — Joshua Robinson $15. 7:00 p.m. Aisle 5, 1123 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, 30307. aisle5atl.com/ @aisle5_atl Rick Ross, Jeezy, T.I., Gucci Mane, State Farm Arena — Two years ago, if hip-hop enthusiasts had heard that longtime nemeses Jeezy and Gucci Mane would be teaming up for a star-studded Atlanta concert, they would have assumed that some local promoter was playing a cruel April Fool’s Day joke on the city. However, following their reconciliation during their popular Verzuz match in 2020, Gucci Mane and Jeezy are in fact joining fellow hip-hop legends Rick Ross, T.I., Trina, and DJ Drama for the highly anticipated Legendz of the Streetz Tour on April 1. With so many beloved acts on one bill, the show is practically a Southern rap fans’ ultimate delight, so if you sleep on the Legendz of the Streetz Tour, the joke is on you. — Joshua Robinson $65-$450+. 7:00 p.m. State Farm Arena, 1 State Farm Dr, Atlanta, 30303. statefarmarena.com @masquerade_atl !!Mon., Apr. 4 Lucky Daye, Center Stage — A release date for Lucky Daye’s sophomore studio album CandyDrip has not yet been revealed, but one thing is for sure — the New Orleans native is hitting the road this spring in support of the forthcoming record. While listeners likely have their fingers crossed that CandyDrip will drop before Lucky Daye hits the city, the talented R&B artist still has plenty of music that he has yet to tour, including his 2021 Valentine’s Day duets EP Table For Two. The Atlanta stop of the CandyDrip Tour actually takes place the night after the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards, so if Lucky Daye ends up winning Best Traditional R&B Performance for “How Much Can A Heart Take” or Best Progressive R&B Album for Table For Two, concert attendees will be in for a celebratory evening like no other. The show is already sold out, but resell tickets are definitely worth it. — Joshua Robinson $200-$343+. 7:00 p.m. Center Stage, 50 Lower Alabama Street #110, Atlanta, 30303. masqueradeatlanta.com @masquerade_atl Justin Heron BIG PERSONAS: Tyler, The Creator (left) and Maxo Kream (right) are performing at Gas South District and Aisle 5, respectively, on March 25.
