OSHUN / Mourning [A] BLKstar - Live at Urban Artifact

Presented by Urban Artifact and 91.7 WVXU Cincinnati/88.5 WMUB Oxford at Urban Artifact

/// OSHUN ///

OSHUN is an independent Hip-Hop / Soul duo and the sonic manifestation of Afrofuturism. Using digital and acoustic sounds, heavy drums and bass, and ambient harmonic textures, OSHUN connects with the spirit of their ancestors to manifest a sweeter tomorrow for us all.

Since the release of their debut mixtape ASASE YAA in 2015, OSHUN has amassed a social following of over 150k people between Youtube (youtube.com/oshun), Instagram (@oshun),
and Facebook (facebook.com/oshuniverse) alone. They’ve been recognized by media heavy hitters such as Paper Magazine, Rolling Stone, The FADER, Viceland, Huffington Post, NPR, Essence, and Vogue (just to name a few).

They've also performed throughout the U.S. and Brazil all while remaining fulltime college students at NYU. It’s been a wonderful journey and now that these young goddesses have graduated college and live on their own, they are transitioning into the next phase of manifesting their purpose.
OSHUN is preparing for additional releases of their album series “bittersweet”, complete with captivating visuals, worldwide tour of the US, Canada, Europe, Brazil, and a deeper look into their ever-evolving selves.

/// Mourning [A] BLKstar ///

Mourning [A] BLKstar is a multi-generational, gender and genre non-conforming amalgam of Black Culture dedicated to servicing the stories and songs of the apocalyptic diaspora. Creating songs of both eulogy and revolution, the expansion of 21st century Black consciousness is felt in waves through Ohio’s Mourning [A] BLKstar. A force that has deep conviction, purpose, and weight, songs are voiced through a lens of chopped up drum grooves, stark melodies, washed-out synth tones, and historic sample pulls.

TRIIIBE is a creative collective of artists seeking to promote positive urban culture and spawn a new Renaissance. This multifaceted group consists of poet/lyricist Siri Imani, and medical musician PXVCE. They stand together at the intersection of art and activism, challenging the boundaries of society. They have combined forces to plant intellectual seeds that will grow into a new generation of leaders that utilize their natural born talents to cultivate a promising future for themselves and generations to come.
