What's that? You don't know Kodak Black?

Well, truth told, I didn't know him, either. He's only 21 and an emerging rap star. In that context, he's performing tonight at Foxwoods in the Grand Theater. I did some homework. He started to develop a hip hop reputation as a youngster in Florida and — this is hilariously true — a group of Atlantic Records executives showed up in court when he was being sentenced (on charges of armed robbery and false imprisonment) hoping to sign the prodigy.

I guess he got off. Still, if you're working the thug angle, authenticity counts for a lot, right? I've listened Kodak Black's oddly wavering, sleepy delivery — he's a practitioner of the aptly named and pretty maddening stylistic subset called "mumble rap" — on tunes such as "Pimpin' Ain't Easy" (suggesting the vocation is like a competitive sport), "Could of Been Different" (not "have" and wherein a trusted "whoadie" betrays him), and "Calling My Spirit," which contains the verse:

"I put my Hublot on rocks / I put moscato on rocks / Where I'm from we don't say opp / Shoot at an OV, shoot at a cop / Shoot at the police, shoot at your top / I made a million off socks."

So there you have it! Kodak Black! Maybe the merch booth will have some ... socks?

Kodak Black, 9 p.m. tonight, Grand Theater, Foxwoods; $68-$148; 1-800-200-2882.
