Flight Club, renowned as the original sneaker consignment store, made waves today by hosting Philly rapper Ot7 Quanny for his inaugural live performance of "I Did It." With an impressive 34 million streams, drawing over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, Ot7 Quanny joins the ranks of previous Flight Club Fridays alumni like Doja Cat, Smino, and Saweetie.

Championed by music media giants such as OVO Sound Radio, Pitchfork, NPR, and The Fader, he's celebrated as a standout figure in Philadelphia's vibrant music scene and named one of Audiomack's "10 Rappers You Should Know." Pitchfork praises his music for its distinctive blend of witty lyricism and dark, percussive beats, calling his songs simultaneously familiar and groundbreaking.
Flight Club Fridays returns for its fifth consecutive year, celebrating the intersection of music, art, and style. The 2024 lineup promises electrifying performances from rap luminaries and collaborators like Flo Milli, Veeze, EarlSweatshirt & The Alchemist, and Ot7 Quanny. According to Billboard, the event seamlessly merges the realms of sneaker culture and music, likening it to a fusion of Complex Sneaker Shopping and Colors, where artists not only perform but also share personal stories and browse rare kicks with fans in the iconic store setting.
