Wacotron at Vaquero Taquero

12:40am – 1:00am CT

Vaquero Taquero

This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Monday, March 10 at Vaquero Taquero

Coming straight out of Texas, Wacotron is a rapper best known for his gritty style and creative flow over 808 drive hip hop beats. His music is heavily influenced by his upbringing. First developing his love of music listening to rap in the car with his dad, he later turned to making music as an escape from the hardships of growing up in the streets of Waco.

A major figure in the music industry & a veteran in the streets, and the 12 songs on Smokin’ Texas reflect the hard-earned wisdom of a self-made man. Packed with harrowing stories and sly turns-of-phrase, Smokin Texas benefits from the steady hand of 808 Mafia chieftain Southside, who delivers booming production with the assistance of associates like CuBeatz, Topp, Pyrex, Steezefield, and more. The mixtape also features multiple productions from superstar DJ Marshmello. The new mixtape is home to recent single “Umbrella,” produced by Marshmello and featuring a snarling guest verse from G Herbo (nearly 5 million streams since its April 9th release), as well as standout video singles like “Gram And A Hoodie,” “Take Off,“ “Toothpaste,” and Wacotron’s debut release “Cut Me Up,” which has over 10 million streams & counting.
