In partnership with Whats The Word, local artists were selected to open up for the recording artist. Hosted by “Chicago’s Radio Girl” Bree Specific and sounds by DJ D-93 the vibes were set in motion.
The show was one for the books from start to finish. Each artist brought creativity, flare, and individual style to the stage. Opening up for Ausar was Whats The Buzz’s “People’s Choice” winners (Jae Ivlie, UpAt2, Sye K, and Y.K Supe). In addition the solid lineup included Da Mia, Alle, and Hxllywood.
With his self-proclaimed “Lil Mama Music”, rapper Hxllywood gave an electrifying performance. Performing fan favorites such as “On the Rocks” and “Sneaky Link” with Queen Glizzy G. Fans interacted by jumping on stage for a little one on one “footwork” competition.
With the vibes in place, it was time for the moment of the night. Ausar not only delivered a captivating performance, but also gave fans a night to remember. Alongside band, Trinity Star Ultra, the singer showed the world why he is the next R&B sensation out of Chicago. A true talent, the singers’ vocals alongside a live band were melodic and soothing to the ear. Performing songs such as “Don’t Date Rappers and “Spoiled”, a song in remanence of his grandmother.
A special thanks to Chicago State University for their continuous efforts to connect with their students. As well as, providing a space for black owned businesses such as Live Young and Whats the Word, an opportunity to create an experience students will never forget.
