Considering Blacklight alone features PRO, This’l, KB, and Andy Mineo, I certainly expected to start seeing some guest appearances on stage.īy the time Tedashii closed out his set with a moving and powerful performance of “He Lives,” I was really wondering. That being said, I became rather nervous the longer the set went on and none of the other 116 members stepped out for some collaboration. He played some crowd favorites, including “Make War,” “Riot,” and “Can’t Get With You,” and had much more interplay with the audience than others that night. He mixed in some older hits with a good amount of newer material. Between the jacket, the time spent in the cold with the fans, and the overall presentation of his set, Tedashii was overall the crowd favorite of the night, in my opinion. This seemed to remain for the rest of the show. In fact, I noticed a significant increase in crowd participation and cheering as soon as Tedashii took the stage. This certainly got the crowd a little more hyped up and into the set than they were before. Whoever made that neon jacket should be commended. As soon as the DJ started dropping a few beats and with T-Dot’s back facing the audience, the Blacklight cover was suddenly in real life on the stage. While I figured photoshop played a large role in the neon light based look found on that album cover, I was wrong. To start his set, T-Dot came out with the very same jacket that adorns the Blacklight album. I was a little disappointed when PRO/Minor’s set ended without him doing what is arguably the best song on PSA Vol.3, “Real Recognize Real.” I figured that since Lecrae was in the building, he’d come out and they’d give the fans some love.

3 can be picked up for free over at Rapzilla! Minor’s reception was slightly higher and more involved than KB’s, but not drastically. 3: Who is Derek Minor? which seems to be following Mineo’s path (who was “formerly known” as C-Lite) in returning to his real name. He recently released a great little effort titled PSA Vol. Just in case you’re unclear yourself, Derek Minor is PRO. This change may have been confusing for some.
PRO… I mean Derek Minor followed after KB. The dude was giving his all on stage, but crowd involvement was limited by the fact that fewer people knew of KB or his tracks. Overall, the crowd seemed to share a similar reaction to KB as I did. That being said, it is notable that Andy Mineo returned to the stage for a little collaboration work during KB’s set (more on why this is important later). While, I’d love to write a more detailed account of his time on stage, the fact that I’m mostly unfamiliar with KB meant I didn’t track which songs he was performing. After all, the dude is extremely passionate and charismatic on stage. Despite his early placement on the card and relatively short set, the crowd really seemed to get into Mineo. Although he declined an official interview (technically he pulled the “let me ask my manager” card), T-Dot showed a lot of heart in chilling with fans and posing for their next Facebook Cover photo.ĭue to the long line going into the venue (it was sold out, after all), I joined the concert right as Andy Mineo was jumping into “Fool’s Gold.” A couple songs later, Mineo sang “In My City” and was off the stage (like I said, REALLY short sets). Not all was lost, however, as Tedashii spent a good bit of time outside, despite the arctic temperatures, chatting with fans and welcoming them to the show. Even with this in mind, I was surprised to find that getting through the doors just over ten minutes late would mean I had already missed Propaganda’s introductory remarks and This’l’s entire set. I knew coming into the show with the sheer number of artists being represented that each one’s set-list would be pretty compact. And, of course, the recent mainstream explosion of Lecrae, after his latest joint Gravity burst through all sorts of charts upon its debut, just added to the excitement of it all. With GRITS and The Cross Movement in various stages of “on hiatus,” the Unashamed Tour pretty much boasts the best and brightest Christ-centered Hip-Hop has to offer these days (with the small exception of my boy Lil’ Dre, of course). I’ll admit that I was a little more than excited for the Unashamed Tour 2012 when it was announced. Tour: Unashamed Tour 2012 – Come Alive – Presented by Grand Canyon University Artists: Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, KB, Andy Mineo, PRO, Propaganda, This’l
