Kirk Jerel Randle (born August 20, 1989), - aka Kirko Bangz - is an American rapper and singer signed to Atlantic Records. He started out in 2009.

Kirko Bangz was brought up in Texas and he went to North Shore High School in Houston, and then later went on to go to Prairie View A&M University to study Communications.

Kirko Bangz started rapping at the age of fifteen; he said this was due to witnessing his mother struggle as a single parent. He is well known for his single called "Drank In My Cup" from 2011, which reached number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In 2009 he released his first mixtape, which he called 'Procrastination Kills'. In 2011 he released his first single called "What Yo Name Iz?". Later that year the song was remixed and featured artists such as Big Sean, Wale and Bun B.

His second single was released in 2011 named "Drank In My Cup". The song reached 96 on the Billboard Hot 100, but has since peaked at 28. It was remixed by several different artists such as J. Cole, Tyga, Bow Wow, Trey Songz and many more.

In 2013 he was signed to Atlantic Records, and at the start of 2014 he released the single "Hoe" to go on his latest album. In 2014 it was announced he would go on the Trillest concert tour to promote his new album. The album was called "Bigger Than Me".

Live reviews

Houston born rapper/singer Kirko Bangz has often been unfairly branded as a one hit wonder. After the 25 year old’s autotune heavy “Drank in my Cup” saw him propel to the top of the US Charts and find international success, it seemed that this was going to be his 15 seconds of fame. Yet eight mixtapes later and one studio album on it’s way, Kirk Jerel Randle is still proving that he has what it takes as a southern Rap and R&B artist.

Wearing a tank top, jeans slung below his waist and enough bling on his wrist to put someone through university, it’s obvious that Bangz is living up to the stereotypical rapper lifestyle and that this is going to be a stereotypical rap show, as he asks the crowd to put their hands up in the air. However that’s not a complaint, when a rap show is done this slickly. There’s no denying his on stage charisma, and as the crowd is majorly female, it’s no surprise that as he begins with “What yo’ name is?” his voice is drowned by the relentless sound of girls screaming at fever pitch. After some friendly banter with his infatuated audience, he propels into some of his more recent hits, such as his collaborative effort “Young and Getting’ It” with Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill. Ever the crowd pleaser, Kirko finishes with “Drank in my Cup” which has the whole crowd raucously singing along as his DJ mutes the backing track for the chorus. The future seems bright for Bangz, his upcoming album “Bigger than Me” seems destined for success and when that inevitable tour comes round again, you’d be a fool to miss out!

Report as inappropriate

Kirk Jerel Randle better known by his stage name Kirko Bangz broke from beneath the radar in 2011 after he found chart success with 'Drank In My Cup'. Unfortunately the uninterested masses dismissed the rapper after this, but those who stuck with him were rewarded with lively tours and slick performances from Kirk himself and his accompanying musicians showcasing the solid remaining material from the debut LP 'Bigger Than Me'

He was known on the underground far before he had any form of single success with his 'Procrastination Kills' mixtape series, and he plays a variety of material lifted from those releases this evening. The more devoted fans make themselves heard during this to which Randle's entourage hypes them further. The heavy bass keeps the pace throughout the evening and keeps the crowd moving along with the music. He plays a collaboration with Meek Mill in order to demonstrate his freestyle skills before a note perfect version of 'Drank In My Cup' sets the whole roof off, easily proving there is more to Kirko Bangz that one song.

Kirk Jerel Randle, AKA Kirko Bangz, (great stage name) is the quarter of a century rapper/singer from Houston, Texas with a degree in communications, who knew?! He has released multiple singles, his second one debuting at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100, since then, it has reached number 29 on the chart and number one on the Hot Rap Songs chart. Anyway, lets get to the nitty gritty, forgive my colloquial terminology. This guy has so much swagger on stage walking out with nothing but a microphone, from the moment he walks out on this stage he commands this audience, with quite a lot of ease. It all comes so easy to him. “Keep It Trill” is the huge smash single that gets the party started tonight, everyone in this club doing their thing, bouncing, with their hands in the air, waving them front to back. “Rich” which features August Alsina on the studio recording, is the song that people sing at the top of their lungs, filling this atmosphere with good vibes. A memorable evening with Kirko Bangz.

Nicki Minaj Brings 50 Cent, Kirko Bangz, BeatKing To Houston’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour

Reggie Mathalone May 10, 2024 7:33AM

Nicki Minaj made headlines last month for leaving an audience waiting hours for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour show to start in Montreal. According to fans it was well past 11 p.m. when the rapper took to the stage. It wasn’t really her fault. It was a flight delay, or so it was reported. But it has left tour-goers suspicious of a similar turnout. On Thursday, May 9, 2024 at Houston's Toyota Center, a full house danced to the stylings of DJ BOOF, the tour's opener, who played a string of Nicki Minaj hits before retiring his set, announcing that his time was up. The crowd’s energy dissipated and what was left was a strange and oddly quiet lull which lasted some time.

It wasn’t until 10:32 p.m. when Minaj would finally emerge from a trap door on the tallest shelf of a three tiered stage in a dress clad with a sculpted metallic bodice and white silk floor-length skirt. She jumped right into the first verse of “I’m the Best” from the original Pink Friday , Pink Friday 2 's 14-year-old predecessor. The audience, who seemed largely unbothered by the singer’s late entrance, erupted into sincere applause.

As cliché as it may seem to claim that the crowd zealously sang back every lyric to their favorite artist, the moment the Trinidadian Queen of Rap emerged from the stage and rapped her first word, the packed stadium of, otherwise, extremely individual people, became a single hive mind of Nicki Minaj lyrics and inflection.

The singer’s metallic top and silky skirt were pealed off to reveal a pink sequined leotard complete with sparkly thigh-high boots. The quick outfit change—this would be the last quick one—brought us into the new era of Minaj’s catalog with “FTCU” from the tour’s namesake, Pink Friday 2. By the fan’s reaction to the first few lines of this song, I would call it a crowd favorite. But the truth is Nicki Minaj has a lot of crowd favorites. Still, when the famed line came, the crowd sang just a little bit louder. OK, a lot louder: “High heels on my tippies,” 19,000 voices rang out, “Dolce and Gabbana, that’s on my titties!”

Visually, the production value underpromised and overdelivered. The stage looked simple enough before the show. But with pyrotechnics, fog jets, an impressive light design, and an assemblage of futuristically dressed dancers, a simple black stage became a spectacle fit for Nicki Minaj (and some other very big names—more on that later).

Hereon Minaj and company performed a slew of hits, including “Beep Beep,” “Press Play” and “Beez in the Trap” while a dynamic backdrop displayed skyscrapers and pink diamonds in motion.

Costume and set changes were slow. Sometimes unbearably so. The singer disappeared into a trapdoor as the last few seconds of a song played, queuing the lights to dim and an awkward prerecorded track to begin playing, accompanied by a video. This pause in performance lasted quite a long time and occurred several times throughout the show, which was perplexing given the live band, dancers, and other endlessly entertaining features at the tour’s disposal, all of which could have been used to divert the audience’s attention. During the first set change, Nicki’s famous faux British accent spoke softly through the speaker stacks, over an innocuous late '90s electronic beat a la Miss Kittin, or even Moby (not what I expected at a Nicki Minaj concert). The audience was left to mundanely check their phones and watches, as if at an intermission of Parsifal , rather than the world tour of a rap legend.

When the rapper returned to the stage she wore a black leotard with sculptural golden hands across her chest. The hand theme continued throughout the backdrop where shadows of hands moved across an abstract pink scene. Here she performed “Pink Birthday”, a lively birthday anthem from her newest album; “Feeling Myself,” originally recorded with Beyoncé (not present) from her 2014 record The Pinkprint ; and “Cowgirl”, which was performed, as you might expect, with plenty of cowboy hats. “Where my island girls at?” Minaj asked the crowd, as the first chords of “Needle” played. Her dancers wore sleek pleather trousers and vests. And here, the choreography slipped from hiphop to something inching toward salsa.

After a second lengthy set change, dancers emerged dressed in what looked like black fire suits with under-lit conical hats. Immediately the fans knew which song these outfits would be accompanying: the controversial 2018 track “Chun-Li”. The song and its’ various performances were criticized early on for using “unimaginative Asian stereotypes." Either way, the rap star has doubled down on its visuals, wearing a green and red kimono with a red sash for this tour.

Minaj sang a number of songs with corresponding outfit changes. “Barbie Dangerous” was performed in a monochromatic pink business suit, like something right out of Legally Blonde ’s Elle Woods closet. For “Monster” and “Roman’s Revenge” she wore a black mini dress with a sculptural silver head piece. And for the slower portion of the show, songs like “Fallin 4 U” and “Save Me” she was dressed in a stunning red lace dress. “Houston, won’t you save me?” She sang in repetition, closing out the song to a roar of heartfelt cheers from the audience.

Supporting talent, as they say, came in a different form for Houston’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour stop. Nicki Minaj disappeared from the stage only for R&B legend Monica to materialize from the stage door. The celebrated artist sang hits “So Gone” and “Before You Walk out of My Life” to an elated crowd. Monica was followed by rappers T-Wayne, Kirko Bangz, and BeatKing, all huge names in their own right. But fans went wild when 50 Cent casually walked out from the back curtain with two hype men. The rapper wasted no time before jumping into a few of his greatest hits, including “P.I.M.P.” “Candy Shop” and “ In Da Club.”

Unfortunately, the incredible crescendoing energy garnered by this verifiable dream team of rappers came to a complete halt for half an hour while stage hands attempted to remedy some, presumably, pretty serious technical difficulties. The downtime before Nicki Minaj’s return to stage was so lengthy, that groups of concertgoers were seen making a mass exodus. At this point it was well past midnight.

Finally, at 12:35 a.m. Minaj made her return. “Welcome to gag city, Houston. I know we’re a little bit late tonight.” “But I didn’t want to cut the show.” That was as much of an apology as the singer’s fans were going to get. And, with that charismatic, sly smile, that makes every fan feel like they’re Minaj’s best friend, they were happy to accept it. Especially because what came next was a reminder of why Minaj commands a sold-out world tour in the first place. “Oh you thought the show was over?” She asked, whipping her head over her shoulder to glance once more at the crowd, “we got hits to do, bitch.”

Minaj closed with “The Night is Still Young," “Moment 4 Life” and finally, “Starships” which was sung to an endless spectacle of pyrotechnics.

Pink Friday 2 , the album, has been criticized by some as a lackluster postscript to its prequel 13 years prior, and that it offers little by way of new subject matter or inspiration. But to many, and certainly commercially, it’s a hit maker, with plenty to say. Where it truly delivers, though, is on a live stage with the incredible performance and production value that was achieved tonight. Though, maybe it could do without some of the waiting around. The tour will continue through Texas before crossing the pond to Great Britain and beyond through July of 2024. Don’t let the hiccups disenchant you, Pink Friday 2, and all its special guests, are well worth the trouble.
