NXNE 2024 – THELONIOUS
@ THE SMITH HOUSE BAR, TORONTO
JUNE 12, 2024
Rexdale rapper Thelonious was a last-minute addition to the Wednesday night lineup at The Smith House Bar. He was filling in for Ray Reaves, who couldn’t make it. During his set, the playback audio glitched and forced the rapper into an intermission which lasted most of his set. Sill, Thelonious somehow managed to prevail and capture the audience’s attention for a few songs before his time ran out. The crowd was treated to a performance of his upcoming single, “SLUMSDALE”, which releases June 21st. The lyric heavy rapper is performing again on Saturday at Drake Underground and promises a set that will impress.
