Triple F Life Tour

Social media sites such as Twitter and Tumblr had declared last Wednesday as National Brick Squad Day, it was only appropriate that the squad hit up Toronto the same day for its Triple F Life tour at Kool Haus. The show included performances by Wooh Da Kid, Toronto’s own 17-year-old femcee Reema Major, who was just recently signed to Brick Squad Monopoly and headliner the “Flex” screaming, dread-shaking capo Waka Flocka Flame.

Upon entering the venue, it was hard to believe that it was only Wednesday as Kool Haus was crowded with the triple F life – friends, fans and family – who came to party with the squad members, all of whom took turns exciting the crowd with their southern bangers.
This was no show, but rather a jam, as each performer made sure his/her first priority was connecting with the crowd. Usually concerts drag on for hours, as the artists take forever to reach the stage, creating long intermissions for the DJs to spin, but Brick Squad knew its purpose and succeeded at just that – turning up.

Wooh Da Kid opened up the show to a jumping, screaming mass of people as his two chains sparkled underneath the stage lights and announced that this was his first time in Canada, before jumping right into his set, performing tracks like “King Of Da Jungle” and “No Romance”.
The anticipation of Reema Major’s performance was buzzing throughout the night as the first lady of Brick Squad was recently signed to the label and had yet to perform in her home city since. The young artist entered the stage dressed in a colourful outfit with a lollipop in her hair and chain hanging from her lip to her ear, performing her hit, “I Am Legend” with intense energy. But to many people’s surprise, the crowd was unable to hear her voice over the music that blasted through the speakers. The city still showed her love however, as she repped the 416 onstage.

A sea of smartphones snapped and recorded as Waka hit the stage performing tracks off his latest album such as “Let Dem Guns Blam”, “Round Of Applause” and “Rooster In My Rari” with an unmistakable energy connecting with his fans by wearing their hats and jumping into the crowd, shaking his trademark locks as the beats vibrated through the bodies of each audience member. The audience came alive, giving back just as much energy to Flockaveli as he gave them, ending with his major hit “Hard In Da Paint” and that’s exactly what the crowd was.
