I will be updating this playlist on Monday! I will also be changing the name of the playlist to Community Radar, because it won’t include just new releases!

stay tuned, and sorry for the long delay between updates!

What’s good everybody. My name is Ben Beam & I’m a Producer / MC / Audio Engineer born & raised down here in Charleston, SC. I’m heavily involved in our local hip-hop scene, between throwing consistent shows under my Charleston Underground brand & producing tracks / projects for locals artists. Wanted to make this post to share a track I just dropped today, featuring local legend DJ DollaMenu. I produced the track & have a verse on it as well, but thanks to DollaMenu’s feature it’s...

Wanted to make this post to share a track I just dropped today, featuring local legend DJ DollaMenu. I produced the track & have a verse on it as well, but thanks to DollaMenu’s feature it’s become a song I’m very proud to share with y’all (Available on all streaming platforms)

@MarleyFacedBoy dude yeah i haven’t had a chance to get through the whole new album yet (Phish new album Evolve, out today), but I just listened to that “Lonely Trip” a few times. Sounds awesome.

I think a lot of Phish fans just want their face melted the whole show lol. Lonely Trip is a great song.

RE: n3 Charleston 2019

Honestly I don’t even remember hearing that. I will have to go back and check out that show again. That was so early in my Phish loving career that I didn’t really...

RE: n3 Charleston 2019

Honestly I don’t even remember hearing that. I will have to go back and check out that show again. That was so early in my Phish loving career that I didn’t really know what I was hearing. I do know that of all the Phish shows I’ve seen, that one is the weakest. Followed by MSG 12/28/22, which I wouldn’t call exceptionally weak, but compared to the madness of the following night…

Maybe I will review the new Phish album in the Music Reviews section next week. (UPDATE: here is my review of Evolve)

@chubes also in my quest to defend that N3 Charleston ’19 show, we caught one of the only handful of After Midnights

Our friends at Rip City just announced “Rip City at the Movies” – a movie version of their popular sketch comedy show, taking place September 28th at the Terrace Theater on James Island.

Early bird tickets are on sale now for $15

Independent comedians + independent movie theater = can’t miss local event

@chubes I’m really happy with the Lonely Trip re-record. Can’t wait for it to be added to the Mount Rushmore of great but unduly hated on Phish slow songs every time it gets played

Noah Kahan has a nonprofit called the Busyhead Project that promotes mental health awareness and resources.

It was recently reported that he raised 2.4 million dollars, and counting, for mental health organizations in rural areas via a portion of all of his ticket sales.

Maybe you took his comments the wrong way at High Water? Maybe he was nervous and said some shit he didn’t mean?

Babe Club – “Wifi Boyfriend” out now.

This song originated via the Song Confessional podcast, in which songwriters turn anonymous confessions into new music. Jenna and Corey went to Austin to record this one, based on a confession recorded at the Artsplosure Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina.

See the Instagram post announcing the release for more info.

Babe Club plays at Lofi Brewing in Charleston next Friday, July 19th
