Jubilee: 10:30 a.m.
Jubilee kicked things off, setting the tone for another day filled with good music and positive energy at ComplexCon.
Topaz Jones: 11:30 a.m.
Topaz Jones came through with new music from his excellent Arcade album, bringing an upbeat, funk-filled set to the Pigeons & Planes stage.
Yung Jake: 11:45 a.m.
Yung Jake had the most creative set of the day. His friend Snapchatted the performance and projected it on the screen, and Jake interacted with the audience, performing in the middle of the crowd and directing his attention to every cell phone pointed at him.
Tunji Ige: 12:00 p.m.
It wasn't even afternoon yet and Tunji Ige had the P&P stage going up on a Sunday. He performed hits like "Bring Yo Friends" and "Handstand," and made sure everyone there to see music at ComplexCon got involved.
DJ Sliink: 12:35 p.m.
It was still early, but DJ Sliink didn't hold back, and neither did the ComplexCon fans. As the late attendees trickled in, they were greeted with the booming sounds provided by Sliink.
Cousin Stizz: 1:10 p.m.
Cousin Stizz came all the way from Boston, and the Long Beach audience knew every word to songs like "500 Horses," "Shoutout," and "No Bells." If you haven't seen Stizz live yet, go see him. He's a legend in the making.
Kamaiyah: 1:45 p.m.
The West Coast already knows and loves Kamaiyah, and that much was obvious when she came out and performed "How Does It Feel" and "Out the Bottle" at Complex. She turned the P&P stage into a party. Even the security guard was into it.
i am OTHER showcase: 2:20 p.m.
Bia, Buddy, Kap G, and Watch The Duck came through to represent for i am OTHER, and they got an introduction from the man himself, Pharrell. He was all over ComplexCon this weekend, but this was clearly a special moment.
Virgil with Ta’East: 3:00 p.m.
Virgil Abloh could have held it down solo with a DJ set, but he brought out special guest and P&P favorite Ta'East, who proved that he's a star in the making.
Spark Master Tape: 3:50 p.m.
At the beginning of Spark Master Tape's ComplexCon performance, you could tell a lot of audience members were confused by the masked gang on stage rapping with pitched down vocals. By the end of it, everyone was asking for more.
Lil Yachty: 4:35 p.m.
It's not up for debate: Lil Yachty is king of the youth. When the beat dropped during "One Night," it was electric. Yachty fans already know, but for those who don't know: go see him live, and watch the crowd. He can light up a room, and ComplexCon was the perfect space to do it. Kids lost their minds, water bottles rained from the sky, and shout out to Kodie Shane and the rest of The Sailing Team for going extra hard.
Chief Keef: 5:30 p.m.
No words. Chief Keef is the perfect version of Chief Keef. To be honest, I wasn't even sure if this was really going to happen. In the last few years, he's been reclusive. He's been unpredictable. He's seemingly been in his own world, detached from the regular routine of albums, tours, press runs, etc. When we booked him to perform Finally Rich in full at ComplexCon, we had no idea what to expect. As Keef wondered around stage, aloof and unconcerned, hair covering his face at all times, while 50 others mobbed around him, I couldn't help but think that this is exactly what I want from a Chief Keef concert. "Don't Like," "Citgo," "Love Sosa," and "Faneto" had the room going crazy.
