The night started when me, Big City, Wigsplita all had to travel to do a radio show in Danbury, Ct. I didn’t anticipate the amount of traffic I was going to hit so we missed out on that. It was at this point I decided I was going to head over to the blackstone club to check out was I thought was to be a mess of a show. I was kinda wrong.

marked “RI Rap Scene”

Being born and raised in PROVIDEnce, I’ve come to accept certain drawbacks about this state. For example:

1. Our tap water SUCKS!! (I say that b/c there was a time the ish was on point!)
2. Springtime died in April 97’ (April Fools Day Blizzard)
3. We (RI) are the mecca of nepotism.

However, the one issue I can’t bring myself to accept is, the lack of success we’ve had establishing ourselves as a legitimate region of hip hop talent.

Pawtucket and Providence’s own Chachi is going to be performing on BET’S 106 and park on January 30th. So tune in and vote for him on that day!!! He has done extremely well on that show last outing.

If you have been a part of the RI hip hop scene in the past 5 years, you have seen Chachi Carvahlo perform. And even if you haven’t found yourself at an RI hip hop event during this time, you might still know this ambitious young man (30 years old) from his various activities in the community. Known by one of his friends as the unofficial “mayor of Providence,” Mr. Carvahlo is a true Renaissance man, visionary, and hip hop ambassador - a first generation Cape Verdean immigrant, representing for his people.
