Halloween-themed 21+ show by King Swank, blending hip-hop and afrobeats, with Barrister, Malcolm Jabar, Amore Azadi and Welby June, plus a merch drop.
King Swank plays Zhora Darling on Wednesday, October 28, with a full bill of openers. He's an Atlanta-raised artist and producer who's been making a name for himself here in Minneapolis, and this is one of those nights where he's the main draw. His sound sits right at the intersection of hip-hop and rap, blended with afrobeats and melodic vocals—the kind of music that works as well for dancing as it does for listening.
He's not coming alone. The lineup includes Barrister, Malcolm Jabar, Amore Azadi, and Welby June, so there are five acts in total. It's a full evening of music rather than just a single set. The whole thing is billed as a Halloween-themed show, and there's a merch drop happening that night, so if you've been wanting to pick up something from him, this is a good time to do it.
As for how he plays, Swank is known for bringing a lot of energy to the stage. He describes himself as focusing on building an engaging live experience, and that's a good way to frame it—it's less about standing still and more about the room moving with him. Between the afrobeats influence and the rap, the set leans toward the danceable side of things.
