As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, Charleston gears up for one of its most anticipated events of the year— Boogieman Halloween Festival at The Royal American. Now in its fourth year, this multi-genre festival has become a beloved annual tradition.
One of the highlights of Boogieman Fest is the Hip Hop Happy Hour at 4:20 to 5pm, expertly curated by Little Stranger. This special segment features a dynamic array of independent emcees, each taking the stage to drop their verses, engage in cyphers, and bring the unique styles of Charleston Hip Hop to the forefront. Past years have seen incredible performances from artists like Loser Chris, Slim SOUL, Jarv, Apollo Valdez, and Damn Skippy, all of whom have left audiences buzzing with excitement.
This year, the Hip Hop Happy Hour at Boogieman Fest is set to elevate the experience even further with an impressive lineup of Charleston’s finest. Audiences can look forward to electrifying performances from Tyrie, MoonKatDaddi, UnHeard Entertainment, and returning favorites Loser Chris, Slim SOUL, Appollo Valdez, and Indi’Gxld (yours truly). With a mix of classic, hardcore, experimental rap styles, and a dash of electric infusion, this year’s festival promises to be a thrilling celebration of local artistry.
As Halloween approaches, attendees are encouraged to wear their most creative costumes and immerse themselves into ‘the boogie’ aspect of the fest. Boogieman Fest not only celebrates music but also the spirit of Halloween, inviting everyone to join in the fun.
