(see all)Building Legacy in Denver Hip Hop | Stay Tuned
Denver’s Hip Hop scene is alive and well, and Stay Tuned has been a cornerstone of it for over two decades. This collective isn’t just making music—they’re creating full-blown experiences by blending beats, rhymes, and stunning visuals. Made up of MCs Ichiban, Mane Rok, and InkLine, along with DJ AWHAT!, the group started as a tight-knit crew of teenagers who shared a love for Hip Hop’s four elements. Over time, their friendship grew into a mission to push the art form forward while staying true to its roots. Their performances, which combine traditional Hip Hop with cutting-edge visual storytelling, have made them a staple in Denver’s music community.
Authenticity is at the heart of everything Stay Tuned does. Their latest track, “Parts Unknown” dives into class warfare with sharp lyrics and an eerie, impactful video by local director Eric Media. For them, it’s always been about more than music—they’re proud of their Denver roots and constantly collaborate with local artists to give back to the community that raised them. As they continue to grow, they’re also passing Hip Hop’s lessons down to the next generation, ensuring the culture stays alive and thriving. Whether you’re catching a show or streaming their latest release, Stay Tuned offers something real and unforgettable. Follow them on Instagram (@staytuned) to see what’s next.
