Freshie

Genre: Hip-Hop
Legendary underground artist Freshie has amassed a cult underground following since coming onto the scene in 2018, creating classics such as Double Back, as well as putting out new hits like the recently released crashOut!. Freshie is known for his over-the-top performances and is always bound to deliver an insane show.
Young Jasper
(Chicago, IL)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Chicago Underground legend Young Jasper has put together an insane resume since coming into the game at age 18. In the short time that he’s been making music, he’s turned up at Lyrical Lemonade shows, toured with Comethazine, and performed all across Europe. Never one to settle down, Jasper has recently started working with Milwaukee-based music collective RunAlongForever to bring this same energy to Milwaukee.
Kill.Dawn
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Kill.Dawn is a rising artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Having only started dropping music this year, Dawn has been quick to establish himself at the forefront of Milwaukee’s underground scene. Pulling from a variety of influences ranging from XXXtentacion to The Japanese House, Dawn has been able to craft a unique sound that stands out amongst his peers.
Khal!l
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Khal!l is a multifaceted artist hailing from Milwaukee, WI. Not one to limit himself, he makes music from classic Milwaukee hip-hop to 80s-inspired alternative. When he’s not performing as a solo act, he is often seen as frontman in his band, Cosmic Endeavors. Khal!l is a performer through and through, and brings the heat every time he gets on stage.
2HI
(Nashville, TN)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Blending free-spirited psychedelia with melancholic trap and hip-hop, 2Hi creates an all immersive sound. His music speaks to the sub-conscience, exploring mental health, identity, and self love with rare authenticity. Born in Milwaukee and raised in Nashville, 2Hi first attracted attention with his 2020 full-length ‘2 Birds’. With its dream-like and adventurous sound being served as a perfect introduction to a vital new artist. The following year 2Hi released ‘White Lighter Bad Luck’, its diary-like lyrics and euphoric production really gave us the taste we needed, with each track pilling back the layers of his artistry. Since then, he has maintained a steady stream of performances, song features, and cameos, making a name for himself. With new things planned for the future, 2Hi is poised to leave a lasting impact on modern music.
AyooLii
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Like with fellow Milwaukee native Certified Trapper, dropping music seems as integral to AyooLii’s daily routine as eating and sleeping. Found on the rapper-producer’s YouTube page is a nearly endless cascade of EPs and bite-sized music videos, which typically consist of AyooLii and his friends busting moves in walk-in pantries, unfinished basements, and stairwells. Though he usually produces his own instrumentals, AyooLii’s best work stems from his frequent collaborations with local beatmaker ThatguyEli, who puts an experimental spin on his city’s signature clap-heavy sound with unusual time signatures and eerie arpeggios. “Smackin Crackin” showcases the duo’s chemistry at its most potent, as AyooLii’s overlapping one-liners stream through a tinny synth loop that sounds like a malfunctioning arcade cabinet. “Fuck a 9-to-5,” he raps, cordless drill in hand. “Got to get it on my own, I’m my own damn employee.” From his carpentry vlogs to his impromptu video shoots in mundane locations, AyooLii is the embodiment of Milwaukee’s DIY ethos. As long as there’s recording equipment within reach, he’ll find artistic potential in any setting.
