Comedian-Actor Hannibal Buress Performs Rap Songs At SXSW Festival

Popular comedian-actor Hannibal Buress is adding another skill to his resume. After comedian and actor can also add rapper. Recently, he performed in Austin, Texas, at the SXSW festival. The TAG actor goes by Eshu Tune when he is rapping. During his set, he performed songs from his self-titled album, such as “Knee Brace”, “Donde Esta”, and “Veneers”. Buress has a remix to “Veneers” that features rappers Paul Wall and Danny Brown. Before he performed, Buress let fans know that being on stage is new to him-but not in the way you may think. The Spiderman: No Way Home actor kicked off his set with a live band and entertained the audience with not only his songs but his commentary as well.  Buress told jokes throughout his set, and his songs were comical as well.  Since the Chicago native is known for being a comedian, the audience assumed he would perform a stand-up routine.  This was like when Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, performed at the SXSW festival in 2011. Fans were ready for jokes but instead witnessed Gambino rapping.
