Description:
Students of Hip Hop Legacy (SOHHL) at Virginia Tech presents their Fall Concert featuring Evander Griiim and Will Tha Rapper with opener Nakfa on Friday, November 3, 2017 at the Haymarket Theater within the Squires Student Center on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Straight out of El Paso, Texas, Evander Griiim brings a new level of energy to the music industry. At just 19 years of age, the stylish hipster has mastered the art of packaging his millennial lifestyle with raspy vocals to produce songs that have quickly resonated with his peers. His multi-cultural upbringing introduced him to many genres of music. Having roots in New Orleans and Mexico, Evander’s Afro-Hispanic American background heavily influences his sound.

Evander’s new street “Right Now” couples his high energy vocals with strong synths and heavy 808s with production by his creative partner Skrittzy. The single landed the talented artist a spot on the west coast run of Rich the Kid’s Rich Forever Tour and Rae Sremmurds SL2 tour feat lilyachty his energetic spirit and exciting stage presence produced an exuberant transfer of energy between himself and the audience. Evander’s hectic work schedule brings him from El Paso to Atlanta quite often to record and with that, rumors of collabs with fan favorites like Gucci Mane and Lil Yatchy are in the wind.

With musical influences that include Party Next Door, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Andre 3000, and Kid Cudi; Evander prefers not label himself as “Hip Hop” or RNB”, but simply wants to be known as an artist. At the moment, he plans to use his music to “tell typical teenage stories of young love and touch on topics that effect my generation”. Combining high energy vocals with millennial lifestyle stories, this young Texas talent is steadily on the path to build his fan base and prove that El Paso can stand up to the best.

He began his rise when his video for the song "We Might" gained over 100,000 views on YouTube. However, he became someone to watch after his record "Pull Up Hop Out" became an anthem for the region. The video has over one million plays on YouTube and artists like Wale and Gucci Mane have released remixes of the hit.
