The show started with Hash Swan who tried his best to connect with his fans despite the language barrier. He actually fumbled the mic at one point but managed to catch it just in time to sing the next line. But fans seemed encouraging and some even giggled at the clumsy moment.
Following after him was Keem HyoEun who wooed the fans with his powerfully deep voice. Again he showed his softer friendly side when he talked to the fans in Korean asking if we had fun to which the crowd roared with "yes!" For one of his songs, Changmo came out to join in which brought about a lot of cheers.By this point, no one was seated as everyone stood crowded by the stage to catch a glimpse of their favorite hip-hop artists in action.
Changmo brought on a different feel from Hash Swan and Keem HyoEun. He went for a more charismatic "win your girl" feel where he pulled a rose out during his set making all the ladies in the crowd scream.
Then came veteran rapper (and one of my favorite producers) The Quiett with an exciting stage as expected of him. Throughout his performances, there were more conversations and interactions with the crowd in between songs.
Finally, came Dok2 who was the first of the five artists to splash the fans with water in classic Korean Hip Hop fashion. His stages are always epic and he definitely lived up to the hype with an awesome performance.
At the very end, the five of them came together to give us an Illionaire Ambition collaboration vibe that shook the audience with all the charisma and power. Hash Swan was being super adorable running around with a small puppy plush and carrying Illionaire/Ambition banners while rapping. The artists ended with their famous YGGR that brought about lots of singing and cheers and it proved to be a great concert.
They have two more dates for their concert at Center Stage in Atlanta on December 8 and at Highline Ballroom in New York on December 10.
