The night was far from over still, as Big Sean came out to do the next set, where he gave a taste of his Dark Sky Paradise experience that J. Cole fans got during his 2014 Forest Hills Drive tour earlier this year. Entering the arena with a bang, Sean went hard to perform his lyrical-infused “Paradise.” He then moved straight into his verse on “Mercy,” the “I Don’t Like” remix, as well as “Clique.” Getting back to DSP, Sean lit up the stage with “Play No Games,” which has become popular through his Martin-themed music video from earlier this year. The highlight of the set, however, was when he performed “Blessings” followed by “IDFWU,” meeting huge enthusiasm from the audience. Although there were no special guests for Sean’s set, he proved why he’s still one of the best in the game.

Next up was one of the most anticipated sets of the night with Future, who came fully equipped alongside DJ Esco. The audience was immediately off of their feet as Esco hopped around the stage to “Big Rings,” “Where Ya At,” and more tracks from What A Time To Be Alive before Future joined in. Soon enough, Esco took over the DJ booth, letting the man of the hour take over the stage for his long-awaited set. The ATLien played older songs like “Karate Chop,” before quickly moving into his Dirty Sprite 2 cuts that fans can’t get enough of, including “Blow A Bag,” “I Thought It Was A Drought,” and the newest list-topper, “Real Sisters.” The crowd certainly proved that they were mainly there for Future Hendrix, as majority of its members knew just about every single word to the Atlanta vocalist’s songs.

Esco made sure one of the biggest songs of the year, “March Madness,” was done right, as he turned down the lights, and had everyone wave their phone lights in the air, creating a very dramatic audience effect.  After Future performed the ecstatic track, he moved onto some other deeper songs from the Dirty Sprite 2 album, with an appearance from hip hop veteran Uncle Murda to perform “Right Now.”  As he neared the end of his set, he made sure to set things off right with the extremely energetic, “Commas.” It’s safe to say that the #FutureHive gained some more fans this evening, if they weren’t mostly there already.

Last up, but so very not least, was Kendrick Lamar, who was unfortunately met with the aftermath of Future’s electric set. With all of the amazing surprises and increased stage time of each act before him, K. Dot saw half of the sold out crowd, and went on past the curfew time of the venue. Despite the setbacks, the Compton native was still met with roaring cheers, with him refusing to get off stage after he was requested to, in order to give fans the best show.

K. Dot came out to his famous “Money Trees” track, before transitioning right into “Backseat Freestyle,” much to the approval of the crowd. Being that yesterday was the 3-year anniversary of his Good Kid, m.A.A.d city album, Lamar was in the zone and performed the album’s biggest tracks including “Swimming Pools” and “B*tch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” He didn’t forget about his newest, and most innovative album, To Pimp A Butterfly, however, as he also performed the enthusiastic “King Kunta,” before wrapping up the evening with the inspirational “Alright,” which had the whole stadium chanting the lyrics throughout.

Although he wasn’t met with the same crowd aura, crowd members filed out, stating that Kendrick had the best set of the show. We’ll call it a perfect ending to another stellar Powerhouse evening. Well done, Power 105.1.
