Lil Tecca, SoFaygo, Tana, Chow Lee at The Eastern

CRITIC’S PICK: Lil Tecca first made waves in rap with his 2019 breakout hit “Ransom,” and years later, the New York native remains one of the most consistent and successful SoundCloud-era rappers. This winter, Tecca is promoting through release of his latest album, TEC, by hitting the road for his “Hvn On Earth” Tour, and joining him for the ride is Atlanta’s own SoFaygo. A rising star of the new wave of post-SoundCloud era artists, SoFaygo owes a lot of his early success to his 2019 track “Knock Knock.” Interestingly, the track boasted production from Lil Tecca, and nearly five years later, the two have reunited once again for a 19-date North American trek. Catch the collaborators in person when they take over the Eastern on February 18. VIP packages are available. — Joshua Robinson
