American rapper, singer, and record producer Kota the Friend stopped by the Lyric (the venue inside the Skyway Theatre), in Minneapolis, on Friday, November 17th. The tour, titled “Kota the Friend Presents: Flowers For My Friends Tour” is in support of his album Protea.
Opening the show was Price (not to be confused with rapper Sean Price). The self-proclaimed “Rapreneur” brought the crowd forward to the stage. Very inclusive and had the crowd involved singing the chorus of the songs.
The ‘saggin and braggin’ king preached practice and positively. Between songs would talk about Generational cure, fixing generational trauma.
If you’ve never heard of him, he had success with his 2020 and 2021 indie projects CLRD and F.O.E.S during the height of a global pandemic… but now he made his major label solo debut with The Price EP on CLRD Entertainment and Motown Records.
The EP features legendary Hip Hop impresario Wyclef Jean, and his songs features collaborations with Wale, Big Krit and Elhae.
Kota the Friend closed out the night.
Kota joked about Minneapolis being a long name and tried to come up with a shorter nickname.
He’s had major success and thanked everyone who played his music in the car, at home, at work over the years. The fans are the ones who help spread the word, and in doing so, they all shared a special experience.
Like Price, Kota talked about doing better for yourself so the next generation can learn from us. During the performance, you can see the FLTBYS (Flight Boys) logos on the background. This is a clothing brand that was created by Kota the Friend around 2008.
For his last song, “Philly Jawn”, he brought people from the front row onto the stage for an epic finale.
Also, even though the Brooklynite is on the road touring, he still manages to release new music, like “Me Time” with Tokyo producer Sweet William. Kota the Friend’s latest album Protea is out now.
