LSU Student Government hosted its annual Groovin’ event, a spring concert put together for the student body, on Saturday. This year, the performers were GloRilla, Glossup and Trina. 
DJ Krumptime was in charge of hyping up the crowd before performers took the stage. The DJ has gained a following for DJ’ing everything from concerts to parades. Mascot Mike the Tiger was also around interacting with students and rocking a “Groovin’ Crew” t-shirt.
Memphis-native Glossup took the stage first, offering a cinematic glimpse into her upcoming project, “Not Ya Girl: Act 1,” which is set to release next week. The Quality Control signee’s last Louisiana show was in New Orleans in September, as she was an opener for the “Lil Baby and Friends” tour.
As she performed popular singles such as “Shabooya,” “Wrong One” and “Ride Home” backup dancers performed impressive acrobatics and helped keep the crowd engaged.
Next up was Miami’s very own, Trina. Trina gained notoriety in the late 90’s when her debut album “Da Baddest B****” had a very successful run following its release, and still has a loyal fan base two decades later.
Throughout performing crowd favorites such as “Here We Go,” “Nann” and “Da Baddest B****” Trina spoke encouragingly to the students in the crowd, advising them to “stay in their bag” and continue working toward their goals.  
The last person to take the stage was GlorRilla. The Memphis native who got her first taste of fame in 2022 following the success of her “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” which she performed towards the end of her set for an eager audience who knew all of the lyrics.
She also broughout BossMan Dlow for a performance of his popular single “Get In With Me” and their joint single “Finesse.”
GloRilla was the topic of social media discourse last week following the release of a video of her being pulled over due to suspicion of driving under the influence. She still made it for her performance, seems unfazed by the incident, and stated in-between songs that she’s not the type to let things “keep her down for long.”
Sporting long, straight gold hair and LSU apparel, GloRilla fully delved into school spirit and complimented the crowd on being energetic throughout her set.
In an era of southern female rap and its subsequent assertive and raunchy lyricism becoming more popular than ever, LSU Student Government seems to know its audience and have picked the performers accordingly.
Contrary to previous years, this year’s concert was for LSU students only, a decision that ended up making for a much more intimate setting.
With everything going smoothly another year, it is clear that the planning and execution of this concert is in good hands and that students can create the experiences that they want to have while attending LSU when given the resources and support to do so.
