Rapper Kodak Black played an after-hours show in Orlando
One of the more intimate, beautiful moments of the holiday happened on Sunday in Orlando when Kodak Black got on stage at 4:45 a.m. in a strip mall venue called Genasis Event Center on Edgewater Drive and started rapping.
Kodak’s gift to the tiny audience was warm, radiating energy coupled with hard emotion — both of which fueled his short, four-song set comprised of new work written this year.
“It felt like no one could kill the vibe. No one could hold us back on how we wanted to take in the moment,” said Arianna Rivera, who learned about the concert last-minute and arrived just in time.
