PAYDAY LA returns May 29 to Hello Stranger for another monthly Hip Hop showcase built for real heads, live energy, and a packed room. Since 2018, PayDay LA has earned a reputation as “The Best Rap Show in LA,” with over 100 events and a lane for rising artists to get in front of real crowds, industry reps, and tastemakers.

This edition brings together a lineup with different regional flavors and styles: Cornbread of Kaliwild, a sharp-voiced artist with a catalog that traces back years; Kail Problems, a San Fernando Valley rapper with a bold, outspoken delivery; Bay Area artist DejBae; and Pablo Sanders from Canton, Ohio + more.

Hosted by El Prez, expect performances, a beat showcase, special guest DJ set from DJ Prezidente, industry reps, vendors, and community energy from start to finish at one of LA’s most respected Hip Hop platforms.
