Erykah Badu welcomed fans of all ages to participate in her Badubotron tour with a wonderful "Hello" performance.

October 20th-Rod Wave Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater

Who said we can't sulking and partying on Wednesday night? Rodpo said. 

Wave is well-known for its rhythm selection full of piano music, which resembles a church ensemble and eye-opening lyrical attention to mental health. Wave's painful story of heartbreak and bad luck has resonated with a large audience . As the last stop to support his "Soulfly" album of the same name on March 26th, Wave performed on October 20th in a country almost far away from him from West Florida.

Before the main event, some of his subordinates floated around the stage like entangled flies, laying down a few verses before leaving the stage, including Florida rapper OMN Twee and Houston master of ceremonies DJ XO 

The New Orleans rapper NoCap then became the main opening of the show. In almost every repertoire, he sang the final a cappella festival, providing an intimate moment for the audience-but his singing also crackled a few times. He performed his most popular "Ghetto Angels" twice (although only performed seven songs) and led a round of energetic "Free YB" carols referring to his friend, the imprisoned rapper Youngboy Never Broke Again.

After NoCap left, there was a period of time when the audience jumped up because of the action on the stage, but when a stage staff walked down from behind the curtains, they were very disappointed. House DJ kills the time by playing Young Jeezy hits from the mid-2000s (such as "Soul Survivor"). (The humble art and culture editor deeply appreciates it.) 

All this is to allow Wave to appear through the temporary "Soulfly" pyramid center stage, and the introduction of Jeezy's regional hit "Trap Star", aligned with the well-designed timer on the big screen. 

Wave covers many areas in his show, starting with the selection of his popular project "Ghetto Gospel" in 2019, and ending with the deluxe version of "Soulfly" songs. 

Throughout the set, there was a huge momentum in the crowd, turning from elation to enlightenment. I feel that many people in the crowd have been suffering from intense pain and emotions, and are suddenly awakened by the two-second tune of "Heart on Ice" and the intense screams of the chorus. There is a chance to sing with their chests and get rid of their struggles at the same time-when you have Rod Wave to help overcome your deepest grief, who needs treatment?

October 22-Erykah Badu at the California Coastal Credit Union Amphitheater

On the contrary, her playlist is fully in line with the theme of the Badubotron tour, which mainly includes selections from her exciting future mixtape "But You Will Use My Phone". This includes the peaceful love song "Hello", which also serves as a beautiful introduction to the interstellar groove at night.
