DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!!! This is going to be an amazing show at the newest venue located in the Mad River Valley, Afterthoughts. AFROMAN with Vermont’s own MISTER BURNS!!!!!! Anyone who has attended any of our shows knows the talent of Mister Burns, but this is going to be epic paired up with a hip hop icon.
Afroman is an incredible hip hop artist that puts on one of the best live performances that you will ever see. Afroman’s best-known song is the 2001 hit “Because I Got High”, which gained popularity through Napster, local radio play, a feature on Howard Stern’s radio show, and the ‘stoner’ movie ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’ (and accompanying soundtrack). His other most popular song, “Crazy Rap”, is often referred to as “Colt 45” because of its lyric “Colt 45 and two Zig Zags”.Afroman is also fond of referencing his independence from record labels and the “corporate world” and cites himself as an example of how an artist can take recording and distribution into their own hands.
In 2014 Afroman became a spokesman for NORML and Weedmaps, remade “Because I Got High” in favor of legalization, and released the EP “One Hit Wonder” and concept album “The Frorider.” http://www.afromanmuzzicc.
