Rae Sremmurd performs with Mike Will Made It at the Fader Fort Converse stage during SXSW in Austin on Thursday, March 19, 2015. Lukas Keapproth/AMERICAN-STATESMAN
Fader Fort (presented by Converse) announced this year’s lineup today and they stayed true to their word, with the roster primarily focused on discovery. A few notable up and comers include red hot singing rapper Anderson.Paak and Toronto-born emcee Torey Lanez. Of course, last year’s breakout Rae Sremmurd will bring the heat. (We’re super interested to see how the transition from the Mississippi brothers to country sweetheart Kacey Musgraves on Thursday goes down. ) That Metro Boomin closing set on Wednesday certainly has the potential to have some pretty huge guest stars. The producer has worked with Future, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Young Thug and Travi$ Scott, to name a few.
This year’s Fader Fort is an unofficial, invite-only event. Invitations went out last week and confirmations will be sent tomorrow.
