Over night, Dave East gave fans in Chicago an experience they won’t soon forget. His Paranoia 2 Tour made its way into the Windy City and left a little bit of Harlem for fans to remember him by.

The athlete turned rapper hosted a private listening party and pop up shop before making his way to Joe’s on Weed Street. Paranoia 2 Tour merchandise was available and East took the time to posed for pictures with fans while listening to his latest release Paranoia 2.

His performance at Joe’s was preceded by that of Chicago native and G.O.O.D Music artist Valee. Joined on stage by a host of who’s who from Chicago including socialite and entrepreneur CocoLoso, producer Pressure and branding and media genius NayR. Valee got the crowd rocking and that energy carried over into Dave East’s performance.

Immediately, before East took the stage several artists he co-signs had their opportunity to make a fan in Chicago, but nothing was comparable to what fans came there for. Photographers lined the stage as the six foot five inch rapper, dressed in Gucci, performed several songs from his last for mixtapes. As East bopped across stage, often accompanied by a bottle of champagne or a blunt the Harlem native performed for his fans and his fans performed for him.

Outwardly pleased by the love shown by a city with a reputation for it’s cold behavior, Dave East continuously expressed his love and appreciation for fans in the city. Afterwards the New York representative hosted a meet and greet where he smoked and posed for pictures.

As the tour rolls on, fans in remaining cities have much to look forward to as East does not disappoint.
