Heineken did it again! This year they brought in Affion Crockett, DJ Kiss, Pusha-T, and Nas to Chicago for the Heineken Red Star Access Tour at the House of Blues. There was also a sighting of the legendary, Sway. As always, the event was by invite only, and PursuitOfDopeness was lucky enough to be there.Whoever was lucky enough to get into this event was blessed with free Heineken, free food, and free quality entertainment. Nothing can wrong with any of that. The event started off with the host, Affion Crockett who was perfect for this event. Check him out getting his “Jesus Walks” on.

The lovely DJ Kiss (@kissthedeejay) was the DJ for the night, and she was nothing short of spectacular. She played all the hits and was able to keep the crowd hyped while the crowd waited for the other performances.
Pusha-T came out shortly after, and did not disappoint. He went through his older hits from The Clipse and also performed his latest hits such as “New God Flow” (Check out the video below). Overall, Pusha really did his thing and kept the crowd in his performance.

Nas was the headliner for the event. Nas is no doubt a legend to hip hop, and he showed it that night when he rocked the House of Blues. He went through most of the hits from his latest album, “Life is Good”. He performed plenty of his classics as the crowd held on to every one of his verses.
