Does anybody think the local hip hop scene will end up doing anything? The past few years not much has really popped off aside from the Wu Tang Tribute show. Bar shows are dope but this city has no venues that are really doing anything for any rappers. All the spots are just kind of echo chambers.

I’ll pull up to a show and it’s just rappers and producers. It’s good that there is a community and it’s supportive and everything don’t get me wrong, but there doesn’t seem to be any...

I’ll pull up to a show and it’s just rappers and producers. It’s good that there is a community and it’s supportive and everything don’t get me wrong, but there doesn’t seem to be any intention of going beyond. Only mf really doing that shit is dollamenu.

I feel like all the fliers I see are the same shows at the same places as last year. Half the guys performing don’t have music on major streaming platforms. If they do they’re not promoting it well, shit me too lol. The only good crowds are on the peninsula and it’s usually a pretty similar crowd depending on who’s performing.

I’m not saying that people aren’t actively creating opportunities for new gigs to bring in new crowds, I just don’t think it works and I don’t know what everybody wants to do. I feel like the only way to get the attention everyone wants is the internet, which is gay and difficult but makes sense.

Anyways the local scene is stale and stagnant in my opinion and I want someone to prove me wrong. Apart from that tape ben beam made. That’s the fist time I feel like someone’s followed through with some shit. It’s just not on spotify. Had to rant because I got bored on this beat and pissed off that there isn’t shit going on. The most recent rapper to break out from here is OsaMason and that’s because his music gained traction online. 3 spliffs could prob reach that underground crowd but they’re either not promoting enough or I guess its just a lottery.

Everyone else either isn’t good yet or is pushing an old sound. Obviously that’s broad and I’m not tryna be hateful but you know what I mean. I’ll end by saying I think the current state is great if you wanna keep doing what you are doing hmu if you’d like to discuss

Hey y’all!

Any rock/indie pop bands looking for an opener the last weekend in March, get in touch! Playing in Charleston the night of 3/29 & want to try for another slot or two while we’re visiting from Columbia. Thanks <3

Two years ago, I created with event called “Awareness” with help from Songbird, Rob Cobain, & Beth Reynolds. Awareness is all about embracing people with any sort of awareness that is going on in this world. Autism, mental health, domestic violence, bladder cancer, sickle cell, etc. The event was located in Arc Take 2. The event turned out amazing and we all enjoyed ourselves. We had performances, speakers, & poets out there with great food, photography & merchandise.

This year, April 26th, 2025, I am brining the “Awareness” back in action. This year will be have performances, speakers, vendors, & food. The name of the event this year is called “Awareness Love”. We are going to embrace the fact that we are amazing, brilliant, intelligent & a great survivor. The location is at Arc Take 2070 Sam Rittenburg Blvd Suite 156 Charleston, SC 29407. Please come out and...

This is my song “Dream Girl” it is out right now. Please go ahead and check it out!!!

 

Hello,

Dream Girl is out! Go ahead and check it out!!!!

 

I joined Extra Chill in February 2024, and a lot has happened with the band since then. AFR released our debut album, “And After All,” on January 25 of this year. To me, it’s a mix of alternative folk and that independently recorded charm that these types of projects have. It can be found on just about every streaming service and YouTube.

 

Thank you extrachill community!

My portfolio had been all blogs before this, but now I can say that I’ve officially built a Music Venue Website too.

This site is centered around a fictional music venue called “Music Venue Website” and it is designed to showcase what I think a good music venue website should look like.

https://musicvenuewebsite.com/

If you want a website like the above for your business, I can make it happen for  you!

Here is the portfolio item on chubes.net

Music Venue Website

You’re welcome and thank you too! I think this place has a lot of potential to grow and become a big part of the local music scene. Hope things are well in Austin too! I can’t help but be a little jealous of all the venues and artists out there, but that’s life and shit.

@chubes Right on….And hopefully I’ll still have free access to the Windjammer should any show happen to be of interest to ya on the beach stage when you’re in town.
