Russ @ Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom (5/22)

Russ has always been about creative control, forging your own vision. Starting out in Atlanta’s rap scene, Russ built a name for himself by constantly creating, releasing eleven albums, and eighty-seven singles free online. All the hard work and dedication paid off, as he is now one of America’s most well-known rappers. Russ has shown mastery in both high-level hype type beats, mellow flow, and R&B intuitive lyrics. Russ can play several instruments and is in charge of making his music on every level. Producing, playing, singing, rapping, releasing, every song you get is his pure creation. Russ also founded a collective and label with his long-time friend and rapper Bugus. Russ is also a published author with his book It’s All in Your Head.

 

After all his hard work, Russ got recognition from Columbia records and signed him on. From there, Russ released his 12th studio album, There’s Really a Wolf, released in 2017. By 2018 There’s Really a Wolf had over a million sales in the United States alone and is certified Platinum. It contains his singles Losing Control, What They Want, and Do It Myself. His 13th studio album Zoo came out in 2018, which features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross, and features the tracks The Flute Song and Missin You Crazy. Russ’s latest album came out just this year titled Shake the Snow Globe, which climbed to top 5 on Billboard.

 

The musical experience Russ gives you is his completely unfiltered creativity. Be sure to see one of America’s top rappers live next year!

MacGregor Salmon: Transfer student from Texas A&M to Loyola University Chicago, I am a Film and Digital Media major. Though my primary study is in film, I love all things creative and want to immerse myself in all kinds of mediums. Sharing and discovering music with others has always been an important part of my relationships with others. I grew up on funk, and the first song I can remember hearing is Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. I still have much love for funk, but I also lean towards alternative, jazz, and anything experimental as I love to hear how new artists are changing the music scene. I find myself on Soundcloud often, looking for creative new works by independent artists. I also consider myself to be a writer, I love to write creative short stories, but I also want to use my skills as a writer to further my appreciation and understanding of music, and the artists behind their work.
