Versatile oddball rapper BabyTron will be playing post-Bills game this Sunday. Since emerging on the internet in 2019, the Ypsilanti, Michigan native has been known for his ability to flow over anything and everything, consistently delivering one-liners with clever wordplay, Gen Z internet jargon, and an unpredictable cadence.

If you’re into Cordae, Danny Brown, Lil Yachty or just a general fan of the Detroit rap scene, this one’s for you.
Touring in support of his newest album Tronicles, Tron will be joined by fellow buzz rappers Trapland Pat, NASSAN . and BLP Kosher (who is co-headlining). $40.65.
