It’s that time of year AGAIN! SWIM and Royal American are back with the 3<sup>rd</sup> installation of the esteemed Cultura Fest- a celebration of local black culture, music, business, and commUNITY. In 2019, they debuted Cultura with a streamline of all local talents, from Jah Jr and Slim Soul, to Abstract That Rapper and Benny Star. Last year, Cultura returned to Charleston after being halted by the Corona outbreak of 2019-2020. They absolutely STACKED the 2023 line up with local talents such as Tyrie, R Dotta, Mike Brown, SunRhe, and BluFlame James. However, with the return of Cultura, Matt Monday and the SWIM team cranked it up a notch by implementing a headliner-and not just ANY headliner-but the Hot Spittah himself, rap legend Curren$y. The environment was electric and attendance was through the roof! Royal American was in rare form last April. As if it couldn’t get any crazier, Cultura returns with another high energy line up of Dj’s, local artists, and this year’s headliner is Duke Duece-the modern day King of Crunk. If you aren’t familiar with DUKE DUECE, I URGE you to check out his catalog. That level of energy with the culture of community built by everything that is Cultura Fest, is bound to be a time we wont forget! Tickets are available on the Cultura Fest IG page and stay tuned for more #GxldApproved coverage and updates about Cultura from Extra Chill!
