K-OS tour with Gym Class Heroes

If you dig K-Os or are curious about his style then do not hesitate to check him out as the opening act for this tour.

I went to the Ft Laud show last night.

His 30 minute set is straight fire and is so much better than the other acts (not hating on the other acts but K-Os is on another level)

It seems that K-Os wanted to be the opening act and it was a good choice as he sets the energy so high. It is only a matter of time before K-Os is headlining here in the States.

Be sure to checkout his new album Atlantis (Hymns for Disco) which was released here in the States last week.

Only a matter of time. But he is starting to get a cult following.

There is no doubt that he is making fans at these shows and is able to use GCH's current popularity as a spring board.

Gym Class Heroes are the headliner.

Order of the acts are

K-Os
POS
RXBandits
Gym Class Heroes

From what K-O's DJ (who is also Nelly Furtado's baby's father) said, Gym Class Heroes are fans of K-Os and they asked him to tour with them. He agreed, but wanted to be the opener.

I understand why now as he is able to use GCH's current popularity to get him some exposure. After the 30 min set I saw last night, he is making some new fans. The energy was great and like any real MC, he gets the crowd hyped. His band is tight as well.

The energy really fell off after K-Os.

Songs played in no particular order

Electrik Heat (Seekwill)
B-Boy Stance
Equilizer
Aquacityboy
Crucial
Superstar Part Zero
Emcee Murdah
Sunday Morning

The group is REALLY good. Their sound is similar to Lupe Fiasco, K-Os, and N.E.R.D.
Saying that, anybody who like NERD will like Gym Class Heroes
