Going Live: Tyler, The Creator
Maybe it was just Taco showing off his weird taste in music but something about his opening DJ set – that included cuts like Theo London’s “Last Night (LVRS Anthem)” – gave TYLER, THE CREATOR’s solo gig a different vibe. It amped up the sold-out crowd at The Opera House in Toronto, influencing them to carry songs like “Yonkers” and “Domo 23″ with full verse/chorus shout-alongs, and even made... Read More
