Memphis rapper Snootie Wild (@snootiewho) Live at @PurpleHazeMEM during On Location Memphis (@olm_trailer)

North Memphis rap artist Snootie Wild first came to my attention at March’s The Music Exchange event in Hickory Hill, when he performed the Jamaican-sounding single “Back and Forth.” At Saturday night’s On Location Memphis music showcase, Snootie came on stage after folk-singer Clay Parker, a rather strange transition, to say the least. But Snootie’s fans had packed the Purple Haze, and he got the biggest acclaim of any artist on the bill.
