88rising isn’t a band — it’s a company! But in the 88 Degrees and Rising Tour at MGM National Harbor on Oct. 9, he media, marketing, and record firm heralds its hot mix of artists, including Joji, NIKI, Rich Brian, Higher Brothers, and others.
The full line-up for 88 Degrees and Rising includes Rich Brian, Joji, Keith Ape, Higher Brothers, KOHH, NIKI, AUGUST 08, and Don Krez. Produced by Live Nation, the 16-city tour will kicked off Sept. 28 in Philadelphia, and it will wrap on Oct. 31 in San Francisco.
Together as 88rising, the musicians recently released the highly anticipated first track from their forthcoming studio album, titled “Midsummer Madness,” which hit #1 on both Spotify’s Global Viral 50 and United States Viral 50 charts.
The dreamy track features Joji, Rich Brian, Higher Brothers, and AUGUST 08. Watch the official music video for “Midsummer Madness” on YouTube:
Praising Amen by Rich Brian in February, The Guardian said, “His neo-G-funk backings — synthscapes in pink neon with weed smoke drifting across them — are admirably lush and melancholic, but his flow is his greatest skill of all, deadpan patter that rattles out like ticker tape.”
