LaRussell, Vallejo’s latest homegrown hip-hop sensation, has been performing in his childhood backyard for over two years. It’s now dubbed the Pergola, and includes a stage designed with the help of Vallejo artist Christian Alberto. During a recent show in April, there were caterers cooking up cajun chicken pasta, a mini merch tent selling crewnecks, hoodies, T-shirts, CDs and LaRussell’s book, and even an inflatable bouncy castle for the little ones.
