In Da Basement S3 Session №7: Ausar
The weather in Chicago is (maybe) finally starting to warm up and so too is the basement! Every spring, there’s a least a couple local artists that drop a hot feature or a viral visual and this week’s guest certainly fits that bill.
In the local scene, there are few artists breaking as much ground as hip-hop sensation Ausar. With features from peers like Femdot and a strong debut project, the arrow is tilting up on him. On this session, we sat and chat about the struggles of being a student and a musician, how his new wave has changed his fans’ expectations and the crazy story behind his “WHOLE TIME” video.
He also drops one of the hottest freestyles we had in awhile. Check him out!
