Hip-hop artist Kid Ink will headline University Union Concerts’ first Bandersnatch Music Series show of the semester. He’ll perform in the Schine Underground on Monday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m.

The Los Angeles-based rapper released his debut album, “Up & Away,” in June. Kid Ink got his start in the music scene by producing and working with artists such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sean Kingston. His record peaked at the second spot on the Billboard rap charts and at No. 3 on the rhythm and blues charts. He has also released three mixtapes: “Crash Landing,” “Daydreamer” and “Wheel’s Up.”

Opening for Kid Ink will be Skizzy Mars, an alternative rapper hailing from Manhattan. A hip-hop blog darling, Mars played the Bamboozle Music Festival in New Jersey this past May. He recorded a cover of Grouplove’s first hit, “Colours,” which has become one of his top tracks.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and Mars will perform his opening act at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday at the Schine Student Center Box Office at 11 a.m. Tickets are available to all Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students with valid ID.

Tickets cost $5 and are limited to two per student.
