Petey Pablo

Hailing for California, Petey Pablo is one of my favourite hip hop rappers of this generation. Pablo had a troubled beginning, being held in prison for five years for armed robbery, and has been in and out of custody since. His entire story is incredible, seeing as his record label producer initially discovered his talent when he was heard rapping in a nightclub bathroom. What are the chances! Let’s just hope he stays in line with the law so he can keep performing! After following his career, press coverage, and music, hearing him perform live was fantastic, he’s a true entertainer as well as a very talented man. He’s had the chance to work with some awesome producers and industry names, and my favourite of his albums, the debut Raise Up, was produced by Timbaland.
His show covered his career from those humble beginnings and raw tracks, right up to the more mainstream newer music he’s produced. It was great to see his career in a summary in a live performance. From the moment he walked out on stage he was 100% committed to his performance, and was thanking the audience for coming which was a lovely touch. Although he’s had on going encounters with the law over the years, he’s a great performer, so if you get to see him, I’d make the most of it whilst you can.
