RL Grime may only be 22, but he’s already had his own world tour and racked up over 3 million hits on SoundCloud. But listening online doesn’t even come close to his live performance. Who: Aer Aer hit number one on iTunes after each release of their first two albums and this weekend they’re bringing their party vibes to the Best Buy Theater to promote their third one, “One of a Kind.” In the same vein as Hoodie Allen and Asher Roth, their music is a little on the bro-y side and has a college party feel to it. Let the good times roll. Related: Songs for your frat-rap playlist Follow Emily on Twitter: @EmLaurence
