Best Rap & Hip Hop in November 2024

Lupe Fiasco at The Warfield

Lupe Fiasco

It hasn't been an easy ride to the top for Chicago-born rapper and producer Lupe Fiasco. Releasing his seventh album, "Drogas Wave" (2018), Fiasco is now heading out on the road! An accompaniment to his 2017 release "Drogas Light," this latest album is a fantasy tale about a group of slaves who survive a shipwreck and dedicate their lives to rescuing and releasing other slaves from their bondage. Fans can expect to hear songs from across his catalog.

Vince Staples at The Warfield

Vince Staples

Things have been looking up for California-born rapper Vince Staples since the release of his debut album, Summertime '06, in 2015. Fresh from his successful Netflix show 'The Vince Staples Show' and his new album 'Dark Times', Staples is now headed out on a tour of his own for 2024. The inhaler-wielding, straight-edge artist may not bear his peers' face ink or ice insignia, but listening to his lyrics will prove that Stapes is much more than he appears.

Die Antwoord at Fox Theatre Oakland

Die Antwoord

For those who don't know yet Die Antwoord (Afrikaans: "The Answer") are a futuristic rap-rave crew from South Africa who represent a fresh new style called Zef, itself a combination of rejected elements from past styles. Hilarious and disturbing in equal measure, their live performances know no equal, as the international attention for their debut video Enter The Ninja proved.

Babytron at The Catalyst

Babytron

Detroit rapper BabyTron hits the road with BLP Kosher this fall! 2023 was an eventful year for BabyTron: he released Bin Reaper 3 in January (featuring collaborations with Lil Yachty and others), was arrested in February, surprise-released the Out On Bond EP weeks later with his mugshot as the cover art, and dropped a second album in June. Finally, he followed up 2021's Bin Reaper 2 with a third album in October. Prolific to say the least, 2024 is set to be another packed year for Tron, and he's ready to end it on a high note with a new tour alongside BLP Kosher!
