OUTCHEA's "Local Artist SpotLight

Avenue
Hometown: Boston, MA
Twitter: @AvenueGF
Notable song: “I Love My” featuring Last Days
Sounds like: Versatile and energetic rapper who fits in equally over an amped-up jazz sample or a spaced out acid groove
Why you need to know him: Avenue is one of the most buzzed-about Boston rappers out right now, with his youthful energy allowing him to let his rhymes fit in to any situation. His first release Words Speak Life and the recently-released Summer of ’91 EP raised his profile to the point that the city started paying attention, and his tracks like “I Love My” and “Your Re-Up”—both produced by frequent collaborator HiFadility—bode well for the duo’s upcoming release The Chandelier View, which should only push him further.
