Toosii gets cozy at Pajama Jam, promises return appearance to FSU for meet-n-greet
posted by Ford Bowles | October 19, 2021 | In Arts and CultureIn Capel Arena on October 15, the Student Activities Council presented the Homecoming Pajama Jam, hosted by DJ Cheeto. The event included a special performance by Toosii as well.
DJ Cheeto, alongside his trusty hype man, kicked off the nights’ festivities at 11 p.m. with a music set including both old school and modern hits. His song order and crowd control helped to build the energy and anticipation in the arena for Toosii’s appearance.
At last, Toosii appeared on stage to raucous cheering and applause by many in the student body. The Oak City-born rap auto-crooner was no stranger to many in attendance.
Hailing just up the road from Fayetteville, in Raleigh, Toosii made local and regional headlines when he was tapped back in June for the 2021 XXL Freshman List. His cypher, paired with West Coast upstart, Blxst, was seen as one of the better cyphers from this years’ freshman list.
Toosii was unable to perform a full set for the students, however the memorable moments were not lacking.
One particularly hectic moment of the show was when Toosii announced that according to his contract, he was unable to walk amongst the crowd and interact directly with students, but that he would make up for it by borrowing people’s phones for a moment to snap a few pics and videos for them to remember him.
Students proceeded to reach out towards the stage in hopes the security guards and personnel would give their phones to Toosii, with a few bold individuals going so far as to chuck their phones onto the stage to seize on the opportunity.
Toosii also asked members of the crowd for song suggestions at one point, with many people yelling back their personal favorites of the artist.
Unfortunately, Toosii could not stay for very long, as he is currently in the middle of a nationwide tour.
To the surprise of many, he made a promise to the students that he would be back on campus at the conclusion of his tour in early December for a special fan meet-n-greet. It will be seen whether he fulfills that promise to the student body, though.
