Rapper Mac Miller brought his Macadelic Tour to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, accompanied by special guests Travis Porter and YG to open the show.
Miller, a 20-year-old Pittsburgh native and natural-born musical talent, was influenced by the styles of A Tribe Called Quest, Big L, Lauryn Hill and Outkast as he developed his genre of freestyle rap. Through a combination of YouTube viral videos and six hit albums, K.I.D.S., Best Day Ever, On And On And Beyond, Blue Slide Park, Macadelic and Pink Slime, Miller has become a hot commodity on tour.
Travis Porter is a hip-hop act from Decatur, Ga., featuring artists Ali, Quez and Strap. YG, whose real name is Keenan Jackson, is a rapper and songwriter from Paramount.
Saturday’s concert was promoted by Nederlander Concerts.
