TroyBoi has been in the game for a minute, and he’s remained consistent all the while. His latest Red Rocks performance was another testament to his greatness. He threw down a full selection of the hard hitting trap records that he’s known for, masterfully blended, of course, and also dropped a ton of new music, a lot of which had a bit of modern house influence, but still remained true to his classic sound. As an intermission of sorts, he handed over the spotlight to the very talented Arius, who did an incredible martial arts themed choreographed laser dance that was unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We saw a lot of shows at Red Rocks this summer, but if your a bass music head, this one might take the cake! Check out the photo recap courtesy of Sierra Jeter below, and don’t miss TroyBoi in the future if you have the chance to see the UK Trap legend.
