a night at ÑBA LEATHER/how i became a boldy believer [an article]

On a breezy afternoon at 4 PM young fans waited in line for the third installment held in San Francisco of what was about to be the greatest, hardest, unifying, and most smoked out concert of the year (so far). When announced mid December most if not all fans (including some homies and I) were buying tickets at lighting speeds and getting ready to lose vocal cords for the main event. Some fans came in with memorabilia from previous eras others came in with their love of the artists in some form. Overall it was gonna be a long night...

Once doors opened around 8 with two separate lines across from each other wrapped around two city blocks time was only ticking before the artists hit the stage. Walking there was three different merch tables for each is own. The 1st table had a mix of earl sweatshirt merch ( a brown hoodie with his character on the front and tour dates in red on the back, a SICK long sleeve , a SICK tshirt, and a NBA leather shirt featuring the iconic Kobe championship jacket on the front with tour dates following on the back ) , 2nd table contained a combo of F**K that's delicious merch with various NBA Leather logo shirts, and last but not least the alchemist & Boldy James merch table featuring multiple 80s cult classic themed logo shirts.

So for the people who've never been The Warfield I need you to understand how small The Warfield is especially for as close to 5 city blocks of people where taken up just to get into the theater. I was lucky enough to get barrier and hold my space the whole night. First act of the night was the illustrious alchemist & all star quarterback Boldy James, who I'm not gonna lie to y'all, never heard of him before that night so trust & believe when I say this will make you a full believer in him before he even gets into the third song in his set. From DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS into the winter BRICKMILE TO MONTANA Boldy's lyricism mixed with the alchemist melodic production makes it a pair to be reckon with following a requested encore from the audience.

Then Earl & BlackNoi$e came in for the second half of the event. He was everything I dreamed of just with a lot more morbid realist energy. Basically just typical Earl shit. From instant hits off of SICK! which dropped last month into unreleased tracks not even heard of by most of the audience Earl set was truly superb. For real I really can't even back track all the songs he preformed, I think it was after preforming E Coli where I zoned out and was transported into autopilot vibes mode. Thankfully I witnessed a hilarious moments where Earl rejected touching someones prosthetic leg for Coronavirus reasons. Then threw a girls phone back to her after throwing it in the middle of the stage barely missing him.

Last but not least briefly seen doing reps or push-ups (either way ready to tear shit up) early during Boldy & Alchemist set twas Mr baklava himself, Action Bronson.

Since dropping Only for Dolphins September of 2020, then releasing his book "F*ck it, I'll start tomorrow" last year it was only a matter of time before Bronson came out the cave for a all star tour like this. Coming out swinging with Daringer the heavy hitter Dmtri you can feel the unity of the crowd once "Knock em out the box bronson" comes up. I've honestly never quite seen a energy like that, especially from a audience mixed of people who drove up and down the coast to catch this legendary concert. Honestly sobered me right the fuck on up only to get me faded off the pure joy of knowing I actually got to see some of my favorite artists off my top ten list before i die or at least before I turn old and get tinnitus. Low key everything else is a blur after he signed my shirt on stage.

[BTW shout out to the guy next to me who got his Palo Santo signed he was the one who passed my shirt up to him.] During his set he preformed classics like Baby Blue , Golden Eye then what the crowd thought to be the final song preformed which was Terry only then swapped out for the late Mac Miller's song featuring Bronson Red Dot Music.

All in all if you miss out on this tour then you are officially missing one of the greatest nights of your life.
