Here is what our buddy Stephen had to say about the show:
I arrived at the show at 5pm was in line at the merchandise booth when Boaz came on stage to do a few songs. He did a dope job on stage before Chevy came out to Homerun and did some tracks off Gangland.
A few tracks from the Cook Out followed, before he did the Yonkers freestyle and another off the top of his head. Then Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar did there thing. With Chiddy Bang performing in between with songs like Breakfast, opposite of adults, and mind your manners. Chiddy also did a freestyle using words fans shouted out to him.

Update: Lawrence E. was in attendance, here is what he had to say about the show:
My experience to the under the influence of music tour was amazing. Everyone from Chevy Woods, Schoolboy Q, Chiddy Bang, and Kendrick Lamar did their thing. Mac Miller came out with a strong amazing intro. Had the crowd going crazy. He did all my favorite songs and finished strong as well. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was but It was definitely a night to remember. It was definitely great to see Mac Miller live after missing him 2 days after my birthday(april 17) because I was rushed to the hospital. It definitely made up for that. CRazy show and I recommend everybody going to see it. #UNDERTHEINFLUENCEOFMUSIC
Lil Scrappy made a guest appearance during Chevy Woods performance and performed his hit song “No Problem”

Rostrum Records is bringing Pittsburgh hip-hop to the world once more as they have signed underground Pittsburgh MC, Boaz. Boaz joins the labels current roster which consists of Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, Vali Porter, Donora, & TeamMate. In addition to the signing Boaz will join Mac & Wiz on their “Under The Influence Of Music” tour and serve as one of the openers along with Chevy Woods, Chiddy Bang, Schoolboy Q, and Kendrick Lamar. To celebrate the signing Boaz has released his music video for “Terminator” directed by Dan Meyers. This track will appear on his debut Rostrum Records release, ‘Bases Loaded’, which is coming soon!
Here is what Boaz had to say about the signing
“It wasn’t a decision that was very hard for me given their track record of developing talented learned musicians into great artists. I’ve known the folks over there [at Rostrum] for some time and I think it is a good fit for both parties!”
Rostrum Records President Benjy Grinberg added the following:
“I’m very excited that Boaz is joining the Rostrum family. I have been a big fan of Bo and his music for many years, and I’m looking forward to working with him in a more substantial way.”
MTV is covering Pittsburgh with a new feature everyday this week as part of their “Back To The Burgh With Mac Miller” series. Today MTV interviewed Wiz Khalifa & Chevy Woods where the duo described Pittsburgh hip-hop and explained the impact of having famous rappers in the industry from Pittsburgh.
“With the music, it’s a whole new avenue we done opened up for kids and for people to look up to. It’s a reality now out there, so it’s really important for us to just embrace ‘em and motivate ‘em and push ‘em forward.” -Wiz
“Everybody’s hardworking and it’s not like a big music scene out there, so when you got somethin’, you just go with it,” emerging Pittsburgh MC Chevy Woods said in a December interview. Everybody sees the light that shines on him [Wiz Khalifa] and Mac [Miller[ and now it’s trickling down to everybody else.” -Chevy Woods
