Rapper Juicy J, who is best known for high energy songs like “Bandz A Make Her Dance,” “Scholarship,” and “Poppin’ My Collar,” will be performing at 7 p.m. on Saturday evening at the MSU Auditorium.

The concert is put on by the Residence Halls Association, or RHA, Peezy Promotions and the MSU chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.

The famous rapper’s show is expected to sell out, Peezy Promotions founder Michael Kutzback said.

Hospitality business sophomore Nick Ziffra, who is attending the concert Saturday, said he’s excited to get together with friends and listen to great music.

“I have loved Juicy J since he was in Three 6 Mafia and dropped songs like ‘Poppin’ My Collar,’” Ziffra said. “Ever since he dropped ‘Stay Trippy’ and did a lot of collaborations with Wiz Khalifa, I started listening to Juicy on a daily basis.”

The concert will include a step show put on by Alpha Phi Alpha and there might be a twerk contest, said Kutzback.

Kutzback said the concert came at a good time. A few days ago, Juicy J’s twerk contest winner was announced. The contest had college students submit twerking videos for a $50,000 scholarship. Juicy J also recently collaborated with singers Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus for two separate songs.

“The timing of the concert is perfect with his constant media presence,” Kutzback said.

The concert is expected to bring in a diverse crowd, said Greg Rokisky, director of public relations for RHA.

He said Juicy J was chosen to perform at MSU because of his impressive crossover between multiple demographics.

It isn’t established whether Juicy J will perform solo or not, Kutzback said.

“You never know with him, he’s always full of surprises,” he said.

However, students can be sure that Juicy J’s hype songs will entertain all night.

Students can purchase tickets for the show for $25 on the Wharton Center website.
