New Fire, the concert series which features the best of T&T’s exciting diverse progressive music movement, takes place tonight at De Nu Pub (formerly the Mas Camp Pub).
Tonight New Fire presents the second annual All T&T Rap/Hip Hop event, Hard Local, No Imports.
A release from the organisers said this event—which was first held in October 2014—is now the biggest totally T&T hip hop/rap event on the local calendar.
It was brought forward to June this year to help build on the momentum that this uniquely Trinbagonian brand of rap music is now receiving nationally.
According to the organisers, it is believed that T&T rap could be currently poised to launch successful careers for its exponents in the same way that T&T reggae did ten years ago for performers like Marlon Asher.
Hard Local, No Imports 2 will feature five of the most popular names in T&T hip hop/rap—MakeIt Hapn, St Ans, Chromatics, Mark Hardy and Yung Rudd.
The New Fire series was started by musician Gerry Anthony when he realised that many of these young musicians needed a space and a place to perform regularly.
