Drake joined the headlining performer for the night as the UGK rapper welcomed Houston’s “newest resident” to the stage. Riding in style, the 6 God entered with more protection than the governor of Texas with a cavalcade of black SUVs while Chino Pacas tunes boomed throughout the stadium.
“And to thank you for all that you’ve done for me and my family, I present to you, The Boy,” Bun said. “This is our newest resident, please make some noise for Drizzy Drake.”
Drake emerged from the SUV rocking a Bun B Trill album T-shirt and orange jacket to kick off his set, taking fans down memory lane with his So Far Gone “November 18th” throwback ode to Houston while paying homage to the late DJ Screw. “The first time I did this song in Houston, Texas [I] was at Warehouse Live,” Drake recalled.

The OVO boss kept the crowd’s energy on 100, running through an array of hits in his decorated discography including “SICKO MODE,” “Nonstop,” “Energy,” “Hotline Bling” and wrapped up with For All The Dogs‘ “Rich Baby Daddy.”
Outside of Drake’s performance, there was plenty of star power in the building, as Rick Ross, Lil Jon, Nelly, Ying-Yang Twins, Eve, E-40, Too Short, That Mexican OT and more performed.
The stop in H-Town made sense for Drake while he’s still on the road, as the It’s All a Blur – Big as the What? Tour will be heading to nearby San Antonio for a pair of shows at the Frost Bank Center on Thursday (March 14) and Friday (March 15).
