“Riverdale Rd” then came out blaring and crowd knew it was time.

Mid-medley, gunshots rang out over the speaker system and they all ducked for cover. The Trap Choir was posted up to the right of the stage and they were laying down a soulful medley with some backing from 2 Chainz’s longtime friend and personal DJ, DJ E. Dolph even brought out his own father to the stage to enjoy the moment with him. From there, Dolph went through his set that included “Pulled Up”, his verse from OT Genasis’ “Cut It”, “Preach”, and naturally “100 Shots”. He began rapping “Get Paid” and the throne rotated towards the crowd. Dolph was seated on a throne with his back to the crowd when the curtains dropped. Nevertheless, he was back in Charlotte on this night. Not even a year prior to this show’s date, Dolph was shot at 100 times during the CIAA weekend (also in Charlotte). He’s also gotten a bit of notoriety for his beef with fellow Memphis rapper, Yo Gotti. Hailing from Memphis, TN, Dolph has made a name for himself in hip-hop circles for his gritty delivery of songs primarily about slinging dope. The 2nd opener was another TRU signee, Young Dolph. I would also recommend the song “Basic” off of that same mixtape. He performed a number of songs I hadn’t heard before, then ended his set with his then lead single, “Fucc It Up Suh”, off his mixtape BAcCWArdFeELiNgS. However, I thought Skooly did a solid job of getting a buzz going. The crowd is still filling in, getting drinks, not that interested in an opening act, etc. Generally speaking, sometimes it can be tough for openers to get a crowd into a show. I recognized him from one of 2 Chainz’s songs, “Someone to Love”. I didn’t know much about him other than the fact that he was a young artist out of Atlanta, GA. When the doors finally did open, we secured a nice spot very close to the front of the stage, dead center. But she’s a trooper and loves some 2 Chainz as well, so she put up with it. My wife Amanda was with me and can attest to that. I got to the venue early and attempted to wait patiently for doors to open.
