🎤 Pull Up: I’m Performing at Duke Arts in North Carolina!

Published: August 4, 2025

North Carolina, I’m coming through!


Catch me live on Wednesday, September 17, at 6:30 PM at the American Tobacco Campus in Durham as part of the Duke Arts at American Tobacco outdoor concert series. And yes—it’s FREE and open to everybody.

This one’s special.

It’s my first time performing in North Carolina, and I’m bringing the full experience—live band, bars, energy, and that signature blend of hip hop, soul, and truth that I call the Chocolate City Sound. If you’ve seen me perform in D.C., you already know. If you haven’t, this is the one to catch.

The Details:
📅 Date: Wednesday, September 17, 2025
🕡 Time: 6:30 PM
📍 Location: American Tobacco Campus
300 Blackwell Street, Durham, NC 27701
🎟️ Admission: FREE – No RSVP needed
🌐 More Info

The stage is set up right under the Lucky Strike water tower—bring a blanket or chair, grab some food and drinks from the campus spots, and settle in for a night of live music and community vibes.

This event is part of a series celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Haiti Heritage Center, and I’m honored to be featured among such a dope lineup. Shout out to Duke Arts and everyone making space for this kind of culture to thrive.

Mark your calendars, share the news with your team, and come prepared to experience something.

Love, Peace, and Shea Butta,
