TONIGHT! Presents poptropicaslutz! live at El Cid

poptropicaslutz!, the Long Island-born, LA-based duo of Nick Crawford and Christian Cicilia blend SoundCloud rap, hyperpop, and pop-punk into a genre-bending sound that pulls from the music they grew up on in the 2000s and the scene they helped build in the 2020s. Rising off early SoundCloud traction, they built a cult following and a seedy NY pandemic scene for local kids.
