Petey Pablo rose to fame in the early 2000s with his breakout hit and North Carolina anthem “Raise Up,” which helped propel his debut album Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry to the Top 10 and earned a Grammy nomination. He followed with the platinum‑selling club smash “Freek‑a‑Leek,” cementing his place in Southern hip‑hop.

After a hiatus, Petey Pablo returned with new music, including Keep on Goin’, continuing his legacy as a defining voice of the Dirty South era.

He is performing at Tacos and Tequila Festival 2026 on the following dates:

• August 8 – Colorado Springs
