Redway: 

Hailing from the six Redway has been perfecting his craft as he climbs up the hip hop ladder! I’ve seen him play live before when he opened up for Schoolboy Q, he got the audience so pumped up and excited we all wanted him to play one more song. His flow is so smooth it makes you crave more of his music. Redway will be taking over the Rivoli this May 1st go get tickets now!

Jazz Cartier: 

I have been hearing his name everywhere I go recently. My homies and I have been jamming out to his newests song “Switch” and “The Downtown Cliché”. His aggressive lyrics and hard hitting flow captivates you making you an instant fan once you hit play on his songs. He will be playing two shows May 7^th at The Garrison and The Danforth Music Hall May 9^th.

Adding to the already massively talented hip hop scene coming out of Chicago, Saba brings a new take with his creative sound. His flow hits perfectly over catchy melodies that will be stuck in your head all day. He makes rapping sound so easy with his insanely creative lyrics that match every beat he’s on.
