AJ Tracey to headline MLB Home Run Derby X at London Crystal Palace Park – Music News



AJ Tracey is to headline MLB Home Run Derby X at London Crystal Palace Park.

The 28-year-old rapper – whose real name is Ché Wolton Grant – will take to the stage at the global baseball tour when it stops at the London stadium on Saturday 09 July.

In a statement, he said: “London never sleeps, I love it. I’m from here, I grew up here, it’s like performing in my back garden. It’s exciting, multi-cultural, has energy, it’s busy and never quiet. My sets always bring the noise and I’m gassed to bring baseball culture to a new crowd. It’ll be clash of music, sports, big hits, mad catches. Big show this summer, Crystal Palace Park, it’s due to be lit. Home Run Derby X – we’re gonna turn up.”

The ‘Bringing it Back’ hitmaker received critical acclaim for his chart-topping second album ‘Flu Game’ back in 2021 and the performance will follow on from his star turn during his main stage performance at the Reading and Leeds Festival last year.

The news comes just hours after the BRIT Award nominee teased that something big was planned with a rap video on Twitter.

Alongside the video, he tweeted: “should I let this one out? “(sic)
