FRENCH MONTANA ALBUM SIGNINGS

Kicking off the new year in a major way, DTLR Radio and the Coke Boys crew teamed up to host three meet-and-greet events with superstar hitmaker French Montana! With the release of his new album “Coke Boys 6,” fans were excited and ready to chop it up with French, cop an autograph and celebrate the new release.

The first stop took place on Jan. 9 in Waterbury, Conn., at one of our new store locations, making for a memorable grand opening event. From there, we came to the mid-Atlantic at our Rhode Island Avenue location in Washington, D.C., followed by our new location at the Northwood Commons in Baltimore. The intimate moments French shared with his fans were priceless. He even hooked up a few lucky fans with a shopping spree!
