Friday the 18th of March saw Australian hip hop royalty BLISS N ESO take to the Enmore Theatre in Sydney as part of their The Sun national tour and with them, they brought along Sydney local Hammy and Brisbane based rap artist IIICONIC for this special night. Despite the rain, the venue filled up quite quickly before the show even began as people made their way to the front to get a good spot up close for the night.
It was an all ages show so it saw the likes of many young, excited fans mixed with a lot of older fans as well.
First up the night was met with local Sydney rapper, Hammy who came onto the stage and brought the energy as he went through his set captivating the crowd and having them jumping up and down to the beat and having an amazing time. On top of having great energy and stage presence, his set was filled with some great hip-hop tracks that were infectious and had a great flow mixed with amusing lyricism. Even though his set was only around 20 minutes long it was one you couldn’t forget.

IIICONIC’s DJ came onto the stage 10 minutes later and although there were a few technical difficulties, the crowd kept themselves entertained until everything was good to go. There were some great bangers that were played which had the crowd going off and got them warmed up before IIICONIC was announced to the stage, who ran out with force and put on one hell of a show. There was something so captivating about this artist that you couldn’t take your eyes off. He moved around the stage so easily and he rapped through his tracks so effortlessly and had the crowd screaming out in excitement. The atmosphere was incredible during the set as he interacted with the crowd every chance he got and had them fully engaged. The hands up in the air, the dancing, the jumping, were what I saw from everyone around as they were having the time of their lives as they listened to the fantastic, catchy tracks from IIICONIC.

The room started to fill up completely and everyone was buzzing as they waited for the great BLISS N ESO to come out onto the stage. It felt like a long 20 minute wait between sets but finally it was happening, the lights dimmed and they all walked out onto the stage and the venue erupted with screams and yells from excited fans. The low light was flickering from colour to colour to help create a great atmosphere for the artists as they started their set. It’s no surprise that these guys are icons, with their amazing energy and really great tracks that flow well and have fun lyricism along with catchy choruses. The crowd were dancing and jumping as they were screaming back to the artist with such power. It was really amazing to see so many happy faces throughout the venue.
