The Atlanta duo of Olu and WowGr8 proudly carries the mantle of their city’s hip-hop history. On their new album, Mirrorland, the duo deftly weaves contemporary trap with ’90s era funk rap. On tracks like “This Side,” the result is an exhilarating roller-coaster ride through different rap styles. With Guapdad 4000, Benji.

$22 ($20 adv.).

press release: The prestigious Monster Energy Outbreak Tour announced a packed slate of fall dates and reveals Dreamville hip-hop duo EarthGang will headline their fall tour with support from Benji, Duckwrth, and Guapdad4000 on select dates. The coveted headlining position on the world's ultimate tastemaker tour has proven to be a springboard for breakthrough artists who are about to make the leap from renown to true stardom—notable alumni include Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, 21 Savage, and more.

Hailing from Atlanta, EarthGang is comprised of Olu and WowGr8 – the pair met on the first day of school, solidifying a friendship over their school burning down and a love for music that doesn’t follow the rules. Instead, the young artists embody the best of the new generation in music; and plenty of critics and fans alike have taken note. Marrying lean, sharp-eyed lyricism with Southern-fried soul, every song arrives fully formed, hitting hard and landing jokes while also delving deep into political issues. They spent their college days recording in dorm rooms and collaborating with local producers when they were discovered – and then signed – by J. Cole to his Interscope imprint, Dreamville. A series of Eps later, EarthGang are now at the helm of their debut album release Mirrorland, out this September.

Bursting with energy and having garnered a cult like live following, the ATLiens have been critically praised by the likes of Pitchfork, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, Hot New Hip Hop, Consequence of Sound, Uproxx, Pigeons & Planes and more. Stretching beyond the “indie hip-hop” label they’ve been brandished with, EarthGang are ready to reach a wider audience with slick-sharp lyrics that cut through the hazy blur of ratchet rap and an avid interest in never settling, or resting on their laurels. 

As the hype around them reaches a fever pitch, the duo has remained focused on their mission: connecting with fans at live shows. EarthGang revealed their eagerness to kick off the tour, saying, "We’re excited to team up with the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour for our biggest headliner ever. Can't wait for our fans to join us UP into Mirrorland..."
