Rapping like he’s too damn busy hustling to pop a throat lozenge, Jeezy became one of the first true stars of trap music thanks to his outsized personality and ear for vicious beats. Though he’s sometimes stumbled in his efforts to stay with the times, the Atlanta rapper has been remarkably consistent in the studio, as his solid latest album, Pressure, attests, and his voice remains as thundering and imposing as ever. Yet it’s a safe bet that, at this tour, many audience members will turn out largely for the opener: Tee Grizzley, the fiery Detroit street rapper who laces his songs with wit, conviction and commentary. Recorded shortly after his release from prison, his breakthrough 2016 single, “First Day Out,” became an almost instant internet phenomenon, thanks to the sheer intensity of Grizzley’s raps. His most recent project was Bloodas, an excellent collaborative mixtape with Chicago drill veteran Lil Durk.
