Cartel II: You are just as bad as the people you support

This is going to be the last time I write about phreshboyswag because I believe he deserves no publication of any kind that could either support him or bring more people to him which I also believe is what he needs anyway for his own sobriety and health in general. His fans are not helping him at all, infact theyre directly supporting his drug abuse and his mindless tangents on stage.


Without the presence of phreshboyswag, Cartel invited so many talented artists to one of the most talked about underground venue's in Manchester on Monday. We saw sets from people such as Lvke, Halfadedd, Yukan, Starboylikemk, Bimi, Ulysses and Reyy (+ edc and matteo DJing) who my heart goes out to completely. Without these gorgeous people, the show would have been nothing. 

Now onto.. phreshboyswag(his name now gives me goosebumps)

Scene influence in underground rap

Featuring phreshboyswag, bloodonmybalmains, EsDeeKid, Ayesha Erotica, Millionaires, Brokencyde and Kreayshawn 




The influence of alternative subcultures has been silently paving the way for newer genres for decades while some have no idea the close relation that a seemingly closed genre such as rap has taken inspiration from. More now than ever, alternative "emo" genres have shifted their way into rap spaces, for example EsDeeKid's expected set at All Points East, presented by Outbreak, a 15 year long legacy that now sponsors alternative events all over the country, alongside alternative metal band, Deftones.
