Perhaps the most coveted moment from the set was when Robinson revealed a song produced by artist Lil B entitled “Porter Robinson“, a rap that literally repeats Porter’s name in an idyllic manner. Fans were euphoric and ecstatic at the respect from Lil B after Robinson has followed the rapper for years. 

LIL B RAPPING “PORTER ROBINSON” OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS THE BEST THING OF 2020 SO FAR LOL
