On Sale @ Citizens House of Blues: BabyTron, Teton Gravity Research, State Champs
BabyTron, The Adventures of Tron & Kosher, December 4. Move over Ladytron, here comes BabyTron. The Ypsilanti rapper and one-third of the ShittyBoyz has announced a North American tour to close out 2024, featuring Florida homie BLP Kosher, and The Adventures of Tron & Kosher Tour pulls up to Citizens House of Blues in Boston on December 4. The 28-date romp is notable for a few different reasons, showcasing two rising rappers on the brink of mainstream success, but we can’t help but notice that heads are absolutely losing their minds on Instagram over the itinerary’s lack of a Detroit, or even a Michigan, date. Everyone’s big mad, claiming BabyTron “dont even like his own city anymore” and “no detroit show is crazy”, while others are now questioning if he’s even really from the Wolverine State. Dang! Tour-stop complaints on social are nothing new, but this one’s pretty hilarious. It’s shows how in-demand the dude is; and whatever Detroit’s loss is, is now Boston’s gain — kinda like every time the Red Sox play the Tigers. Tickets go on sale Friday (August 16) at 10 a.m. local time.

Latto is delivering a taste of the South to the rest of the country, as the “Big Mama” and “Georgia Peach” artist dishes on the record’s tasty title: “When I met [producers] Pooh [Beatz] and [Go] Grizz[ly] and locked in with them, everything just felt Southern… One day, shortly after we cut ‘Put It on Da Floor,’ I just walked in the studio like, ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea is the name of the album,'” she tells Billboard for a cover story. “People be trying to be messy and thinking it’s a response to something. I promise you, this is before any of that shit. This is something that just felt Southern to me. Where I’m from, we be like, ‘I’m the sugar honey iced tea!'” Drink up.
