The Georgian hip hop artist has worked the circuit the hard way and has made his way up through the stages thanks to the strength of his fanbase. Not to be confused with Kanye West's pseudonym Yeezy, Jay Wayne Jenkins has been making music under the stage name Jeezy or Lil J since 2000. The way they cheer for him, you can tell how much they love him, and when he is gone they continue to cheer in the hopes of bringing him back on stage, which sometimes does work. On top of that, he also engages the audience to get them to sing parts of the song, and at times it gets so loud that all you hear is the crowd an not him. He performs all of his best songs, including some songs where he will bring out special guests to perform with him. His fans go absolutely mental when he takes the stage, and he makes sure to give them the show of a lifetime, moving from each side of the stage so everyone gets his attention. It is not somewhere that I normally wander into, but with his shows, it’s really worth it. Watching his live set, you immediately are pulled into his world.
