T-Pain to Play Mason Day

By Broadside Style Editor Emily Sharrer

After Friday night’s Program-Board hosted Battle of the Bands in the Johnson Center Atrium, rapper T-Pain was named as this year’s Mason Day performer. The R&B singer-songwriter is best known for recent radio hit “Can’t Believe It” as well as Akon-featured songs “Bartender” and “I’m Sprung.” In addition to putting out three albums, T-Pain has also been featured on songs by popular artists like Chris Brown and Kanye West.

“I didn’t expect him to come here,” said graduate student Yvonne Tan, who said she was planning to attend this year’s Mason Day.

In addition to T-Pain, the concert will feature hip hop trio Sophia Fresh and battle of the bands winner The Independent, who will play the small Mason Day stage prior to T-Pain’s performance.

Tickets for the event are $5 with a student ID are can be purchased at the Patriot Center beginning Monday during regular box office hours.
