T-Pain Invades Boston

T-Pain landed in Boston on Wednesday night at the MGM Music Hall as part of his Escape from Wiscansin: The Invasion tour. Multiple members of his entertainment empire, Nappy Boy Entertainment, opened up the show and hyped up the crowd. Young Cash and NandoSTL performed before the special guest of the tour, Tobi Lou, took the stage. At this point in the night, it was clear that the show had sold out as the floor and both balconies filled up with people. Once the room went black, three LCD panels lit up with an intro video with spaceships and David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” playing over the speakers. Finally, T-Pain took the stage and he brought all of his hits with him. The setlist included popular solo tracks like “Bartender” and “Up Down” but a majority of the night was dedicated to a number of his infamous features. There were also notable mashups throughout the night. A personal favorite was a mix of “Just Wanna Rock” by Lil Uzi Vert and “Kiss Kiss” by Chris Brown (with a highlight on T-Pain’s verse, of course). Towards the end of the night, there was a focus on his newest release, On Top of the Covers. These songs showcase the vocal power that T-Pain has, despite being known for his use of auto-tune. The set showed how multitalented the Wisconsin artist is. Plus, it showed that he really knows how to throw a killer party.
