Aloe Blacc Tickets - Artist History

Aloe Blacc was born in Orange County in 1979. He began his career as a rapper in the hip hop group Emanon, but it was not until he inked to Stones Throw Records in 2003 when he began his solo career. In 2006, he released his debut full-length Shine Through. Although the album did not chart at a substantial level, it was generally received well by critics and helped him gain momentum. In 2010, he released Good Things, which peaked at number 41 on U.S. R&B charts, and went on to be certified gold in France. The album featured the hit single I Need A Dollar, which earned features in How to Make It in America, video game Fight Night Champion and a Boost Mobile commercial, among others, and has been sampled by popular hip hop group Dumbfoundead. Blacc has also performed the song live on various late night shows, including those hosted by Jimmy Fallon and Conan O'Brien. Blacc continues to gain momentum with both his solo career and his ongoing work with Emanon. As his popularity increases, so does the demand for his live shows, so make sure to get Aloe Blacc tickets while they last.

Aloe Blacc Tickets - The Music

Blacc's solo music is centered around soul and funk, so you can expect to hear pianos, horns and some very groovy bass (see Green Lights). Don't be surprised if you hear faint hip hop influences either - I Need A Dollar is flanked by a bouncy bass that could easily be turned into a hip hop beat. For the most part, though, Blacc is easily accessible as he carries a soul charm that captivates people from all generations.
