Rapper and songtress Leikeli47 is slated to perform in Atlanta on Thursday, April 4, 2019. The Brooklyn artist is bringing her effortless genre-switching style to the city as part of “The Acrylic Tour With Yung Baby Tate.”
If you don’t know much about Leikeli47’s music, after this show, you will.
Leikeli47 brings The Acrylic Tour to Atlanta
She jumped on the scene in a big way in 2017 with the release of “Wash & Set“, the first project in a planned trilogy of musical expressions centered on love, strength and respect. 47 followed that up with the bang-heavy “Acrylic,” which takes listeners into her hard-scrabble NYC world while revealing few personal clues about the woman under the ski mask.
Now Leikeli47 wants to turn Atlanta on to what many around the world already know: 47 is dope.
Leikeli47 will perform in The Loft at Center Stage on April 4. Here’s how to get tickets.
Here is Leikeli47’s “Top Down,” which was featured in an episode of Issa Raye’s “Insecure.”
Tickets are also available online via Freshtix.com or without ticket fees in person at the Center Stage Box Office, M-F, 11-6. Online sales end at 6pm on day of show.
