Trav Hen
Trav Hen is an artist from Cleveland, OH, beginning the journey of creating music in 2015 with the intentions of shaping a legacy that will outlive himself. Influenced by storytellers such as Notorious B.I.G, Andre 3000, Jay Z, Frank Ocean and more, he uses rap as a tool to communicate his experiences and thoughts. Trav Hen’s latest project, YURBOOSKIEOSHI, showcases his unconventional approach to music. He maneuvers through funk infused hip hop productions, within the themes of Romantic and Self love, through introspective lyrics. Along with a deep passion for creating music, he is also a skillful live performer with the gift of commanding, and moving audiences. Trav Hen will continue using music to express himself and solidify his legacy.
TYGKO
TYGKO ("tee-why-jee-kay-oh") has been writing, rapping, recording, and performing since 2018. Growing up in Cleveland in the shadow of The Rock Hall with Kid Cudi + Lil Wayne always playing in the headphones, and now residing in the musical hotbed of Chicago, TYG has always had a diverse array of influences and experiences that inspire their unorthodox flows, sensitive storytelling, and weird way with words. With the popular releases of "Free (Remix)" and "drive it like U stole it" with collaborating artist William Crooks and an appearance at Lollapalooza 2022 with underscores, TYGKO is one to watch.
Timi O
Timi O, born Olutimileyin Ogunjobi, has polished his sound into one that challenges the norms of the rap genre. Sometimes, even blending genres to create a sound that he describes as "Freeform Hip Hop."
The Massachusetts-raised recording artist draws inspiration from his Yoruba Nigerian heritage, anime, and the importance of male vulnerability. "I find that you will always have something to write about when you allow yourself to be vulnerable."
Nuke Franklin
Cleveland, OH native rapper Nuke Franklin is tenacious, passionate, and often conflicted - qualities that drive his eclectic Hip-Hop style and put on display every detail of who he is to listeners. Influenced sonically by a variety of artists across Hip-Hop and R&B like Kid Cudi, The Weeknd, Tyler, The Creator, and Outkast to name off a few, Nuke pulls his inspiration from a wide range of ideas, situations, and moods. From braggadocious and hard hitting sounds like "Hidden Hills" to more somber and moody self-reflection based lyrics like "OHSHEITGAWDDAMN", Nuke's range is something that sets him apart from his peers. Instilled with a competitive edge by his upbringing in Cleveland and inspired by his early connections to family through music, Nuke started rapping and writing music at 13 years old and shows no signs of slowing down.

The “anti-social extrovert” has sold out multiple shows in Boston as a headliner, and is slated for his first festival performance at this year’s “Nice, a fest.” Since moving to Brooklyn, he has also continued to expand his creative output by releasing a series of surrealistic visuals, such as he did with his latest release NOIR FATALE.
