Viral Rap Sensation bbno$ to Headline SUNY Canton Spring Concert

The SUNY Canton College Activities Board has announced Canadian rapper and singer-songwriter phenomenon bbno$ (baby no money) will headline their spring 2025 concert.

He will perform Saturday, March 29 at the Roos House Convocation, Athletic and Recreation Center. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18 online at www.canton.edu/tix, and are $40 for the general public and $20 for students and alumni. Doors will open 6 p.m., and day-of tickets will be available for $60.

“Bbno$ has had hit after hit over the last few years and just dropped his latest track, “Check,” this week,” said College Activities Board President and student Chastity Wardell. “This single is already going viral, so we’re hyped he will be adding it to his already incredible set list.”

Bbno$ has been hailed by by Rolling Stone as “a viral pioneer” who rose to fame in 2019 with the release of the hit single “Lalala.” The song has more than 1 billion streams worldwide and earned triple platinum status due to its momentum on TikTok. It debuted at number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart before peaking at number 55. The song’s video has amassed nearly 600 million views on YouTube.

Nearly two years later, his song “Edamame” also gained popularity on TikTok and was used in more than 10 million creator videos. It peaked at 69 on the US Billboard Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart and received a 2022 Juno Award nomination for rap single of the year.

“This is going to be a high-energy show and the best party in the North Country this year,” Wardell said. “We expect him to put on an unforgettable performance, so you don’t want to miss this.”

SUNY Canton has a tradition of hosting noted recording artists, most recently rapper Flo Rida in 2023. Gunna and City Girls appeared in 2019, and A$AP Ferg headlined the 2014 spring concert.

SUNY Canton will be bbno$’s last North American performance before he begins the European leg of his tour. Opening acts for the event will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

“Our goal when hosting large concerts is to find exciting artists who may not otherwise perform in our immediate area,” said SUNY Canton Assistant Director of Student Activities, Involvement and Leadership Robert Bruce. “Bbno$ has established himself as a creative force in the music industry over the past several years, and this is a great opportunity to see his talent up close and personal.”
