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 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
