Outside Seattle’s Key Arena, in the bone chilling weather that
is Seattle, was another KUBE 93 vs. KISS 106 “Come to our
booth” competition. Once again, reigning champions KUBE 93 won
again by drawing over the masses with their back-to-back
celebrity visits and once in a lifetime prize giveaways. Fans
were treated to meet & greets with artists such as: Isyss, The
Clipse and Fabolous. Fans in hopes of winning concert tickets
could be found at the KUBE booth trying to unlock a treasure
chest that held their only chance of attending the show.
Onlookers were also treated to a special performance from up
and coming, hometown artist, Hot Rod.
The Nelly Tour kicked off with four lovely ladies from
California by the name of
Isyss. They blazed the stage with
sexy and edgy dance moves and captivated the audience with
their beautiful and on point harmonization. The Clipse, two
hustlin’ brothers from the VA took to the stage second,
performing their hot, Neptunes’ produced tracks that can be
heard, still blowing up radio stations nationwide.
F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S is what he was. The New York native rocked the
mic with a mix of old and new songs from his albums, Ghetto
Fabolous and

Street Dreams. Next up was a new artist reppin’
the 253, that’s right, Tacoma baby! Without a beat, just
rhymes, 13 year old, Hot Rod commanded the jam packed Key
Arena to their feet and had them clapping a beat for him. This
was the first time he had performed in front of thousands of
people, and he definitely represented well. He received cheers
well beyond that of a newcomer, more like the cheers deserved
of Tupac or BIG. Be on the lookout for Hot Rod.
Last but not least, was the man and his crew of the hour, Mr.
St. Louis and The Lunatics. With his mens by his side, Nelly
had no problem with teaching Seattle some “Country Grammar”
while taking us on a Ride Wit him. The Key Arena was
transformed into ‘Pimp Juice’ palace. Nelly’s portion of the
show was

exactly what a fan would have expected, it was
nothing but a pure wildin’ out, energy filled, krunk to the
3rd power concert. Nell and the ‘Tics tore the Key Arena
apart. All old, new, in between and solo project songs were
performed, and still no one seemed to have gotten enough. In
between all of that, dancers got the place pretty heated with
their incredibly sensual and upbeat moves to Sean Paul’s
“Gimme the Light”. Nelly and his dirtys closed out the show,
stuck in a “Dilemma.” At the end of their mellowed out ballad,
they thanked Seattle and exited the stage. Following the last
selection, no one else seemed to be stuck in a dilemma, out to
parking lot pimpin’ it was.
