Moore Media Records produces first hip-hop sampler
Local hip-hop artists will be featured from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 9 at Wayside Central.
The show, sponsored by Moore Media Records, is celebrating the release of the Central Michigan University student-run record label’s newest sample album, Finding Forever.
“It’s our first time doing anything in that genre,” said Tustin senior Jack Cafretsas, a Moore Media Records promotions staff member.
Tickets bought in advance are $5 and can be purchased online at mooremediarecords.yapsody.com. Tickets will also be available for $8 at the door.
Doors for the event open at 9 p.m.
The concert will feature two to three songs by each of the five artists on the record — Trilla, World, Daniel Hex, JAY CRIBB$ and CMU senior Cassius Tae.
Tae said his music is inspired by early-era trap musicians. He described his style as similar to Gucci Mane and Travis Scott.
The Finding Forever release party is expected to be “energetic” and “celebratory,” Cafretsas said. He added they aspire to bring a sense of community to each artist’s already existing fan base that will be brought together as a single group at the show.
