— On the Atlanta stop of their US tour, Indianapolis Hip-Hop group, 81355, left it all on the stage when they performed at one of Atlanta’s most well-known concert venues.
If you’re a music fan and you aren’t hip to 81355, you’re doing yourself quite a disservice. 81355 (pronounced “BLESS”), is Indianapolis’ first Hip-Hop supergroup made up of Oreo Jones, Sirius Blvck, and David “Moose” Adamson — three extremely highly-regarded acts on the Indianapolis Hip-Hop scene. Lucky for Atlanta, the group decided to stop by one of our most precious concert venues, The Masquerade.
To start the night off, Atlanta-based artist Emde took the stage and warmed it up, to say the very least. With the support of her band, the young talent wowed everyone in attendance — even earning demands for an encore — with her vocals, lyrics, delivery, and stage presence as she showcased her unique style consisting of a mixture of Hip-Hop, Rock, and R&B.
Following Emde’s encore performance, 81355 made their way to the stage. With Moose on the 1s and 2s along with a live bass guitarist and drummer in the cut, the sound was rich and compelling even before the vocalists said a word. With that being said, the experience only elevated when Oreo Jones and Sirius Blvck got to work. Although their songs ranged from rapid-fire lyrical sequences to softer serenades, the artists navigated their set like seasoned veterans and effortlessly displayed learned skills like elite breath control and clear annunciation.
If you want to see 81355 live, you better act fast. Their tour will be coming to a close on June 11th in their hometown of Indianapolis. For details on touring or ticketing information, you can visit the official 81355 website.
