**Blackway reluctantly had to cancel his March 6 performance due to unforeseen logistical challenges that the artist and his team encountered. Though no new date is confirmed at this time, we hope to welcome Blackway to Madison on another date. All tickets will automatically be refunded to the credit card used for purchase; no action is needed on your end. Refunds can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to appear on your statement.**
This event is part of the inaugural Black Box Sessions.
Switching between Accra and New York City as a child, Ghanaian American rapper Blackway honed his talents by freestyling over classic cassette singles by Aaliyah and Jay-Z and making one-take captures on old-school recording equipment. But today, he has become a leading proponent of cutting-edge studio technology that’s been picked up by the NFL and includes collaborations with Black Caviar for the Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse soundtrack and Boi-1da on The Concept A.I.bum. His penchant for blending Afrobeat with American Hip Hop and for collaborating with talented producers results in curated beats combined with memorable hooks and sophisticated rhymes, making Blackway an artist not to be missed.
