Cleveland’s New Wave of HipHop Artists All Rocking One Stage at May Day

Friday, May 1st, 2015, Phantasy Nite Club, 11802 Detroit Road, Lakewood, OH, 44107

Matthewmaticus is proud to present the first annual Matthewmaticus Presents: May Day show on May 1st, 2015 at Phantasy Nite Club. The show features Matthewmaticus, Aphiniti, Vice Souletric, Mitto, Ryan The Realist and Watts. Local poet Kisha Nicole Foster will host and perform, and DJ NuERA will man the turntables. Also appearing will be local hiphop artists B-Lo, Scott Summaz, Crazy 8 The Great, and Dirty Kicks. 

Tickets are on sale now at matthewmaticus.com/mayday and at Heart and Sole, 1781 Coventry Road, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44118. Pre-sale tickets are $7, with day-of-show admission being $10 before 10 PM, $15 after 10. 

Matthewmaticus decided to organize this show in order to provide a yearly showcase to hip-hop acts in the city, especially those oriented towards an independent or underground aesthetic. Many of these acts are underrepresented in local media outlets, where sensibilities tend to lean towards club-oriented, ‘trap’-style music rather than more progressive, lyrically-forward styles of hiphop.

All the artists are listed below with their Twitter handles, current project titles, and SoundCloud links.
