There has been a void to large hip hop concerts in Vegas, and outside of the clubs on the strip, no one has done hip hop concerts the right way in Vegas in a long time.
Launching just before the pandemic, the concert and event producing company has work with the likes of Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, Wyclef Jean, Anderson Paak, Saweetie, Big Boi(from OutKast), Red & Method Man, JaRule, Lil Dicky, Rev Run, Ski Mask The Slump God, & a lot more.
Finding a niche in the biggest entertainment producing city in the world isn’t easy, but iKon Presents has been able to find a home in Urban events space. Recently doing events with Rod Wave, Bryson Tiller, Blxst, & others, they have been able to sell out multiple venues and it appears that they aren’t slowing down any time soon. From clubs to concert venues iKon Presents continue to bring amazing events to Las Vegas.
Upcoming shows with Nas, Summer Walker, Lil Durk, and a host of other major artists, iKon Presents continues to push the envelope and create a fresh new wave of concerts for the hip hop & RNB community.

The label would release his debut studio albums, Remember My Name (2015) and Lil Durk 2X (2016), before dropping the artist in 2018. In April 2020, Durk made his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single "Viral Moment" off his fifth studio album, Just Cause Y'all Waited 2 (2020).
