THE FEEDBACK LOOP

This was the second edition of the Loop, held at @columbusmuseum this summer. It was a beautiful time. We got to hear unreleased music from some of the city’s best with live feedback from the audience. A lot of love, familiar faces, and many stories connected through the people in the room. This is a contribution I hope to continue making to the community, showcasing the heart behind the arts we enjoy.

Many thanks to my bros Chris, Malccs, and Trig for trusting me to bring this together and for sharing their work. The on the spot mixtapes were lit up 🔥🤞🏾

Shout to the @plna.pub team and @morelifetoday_ for helping us set this off right.
