Tonight: RiFF RAFF

January 22, 2017

Houston rapper RiFF RAFF quickly established himself as one of the genre’s most outlandish personalities upon debuting with his Birth Of An Icon mixtape on Mad Decent label back in 2011. The notoriously collaborative artist has worked with an eclectic mix of names including Danny Brown, Diplo, Gucci Mane, Action Bronson, Childish Gambino, and Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors.

Tonight RiFF RAFF will perform at The Waiting Room with support from Pittsburgh rapper Owey, DollaBillGates, Peter Jackson, DJ Afterthought, Pirate Gang, and Jess Classic. Doors open at 6pm and tickets are $20.

Filled with ridiculous pop-up neon graphics, random celebrity shout-outs, and models wearing one-piece bathing suits, it is a uniquely RiFF RAFF experience.
