What This Means Locally
While T.I. is slated to perform at a Philly festival, his influence has long resonated from the West Coast, with his hits frequently dominating Los Angeles airwaves. Fans can also look forward to seeing Brandy, who has a strong connection to the Hollywood music scene, at the Ricardo Montalban Theatre next year.
