ACL 2022: Larry June

Sunday at 2pm.  Buffalo Nichols plays the Tito's stage at 1:45pm so we'll probably be there. 

Pitchfork's bio of this rapper:

Born Larry Eugene Hendricks III to teenage parents in San Francisco, June moved to Atlanta at age 5; he spent much of his childhood vacationing to the West Coast, where he longed to live permanently. At 14, he moved back to his native Hunters Point neighborhood briefly before heading to Vallejo. 

This song may be autobiographical. Sample lyrics:

I was born in ninety-one, product of the dope game
Fifties, Camaros, Cuts when we swang
Crack game, you don't even know the half
The stress, livin' life so fast
I'm dreamin' (I'm dreamin')
