WebsterX
WebsterX is a Milwaukee-based alt-rap singer and songwriter, blending indie-rock and hip-hop. Motifs within his work contrast darkness and depression with hopeful upbeat and psychedelic instrumentation. "The Fader" speaks to his work as a "personal dive into the rapper's psyche", as he wrestles with his "doubts and fears", but, ultimately provides "glimmers of hope throughout". WebsterX writes all his own lyrics and works with a number of producers to create the beats. In 2016, WebsterX was awarded 'Solo Artist of the Year' by the Radio Milwaukee Music Awards, sponsored by Koss. Among his affiliates include Chance the Rapper, Bon Iver, SaveMoney crew and Mick Jenkins. Also in 2016, WebsterX signed to Chicago-based label Closed Sessions, whose alumni include Vic Mensa, Kweku Collins and Thelonious Martin. His song "Intuition" was featured in a Super Bowl ad for the Microsoft Surface, starring Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. WebsterX was set to perform alongside Bon Iver for his Wisconsin Get Out the Vote tour in October 2020 but has since been postponed due to COVID-19. His music has been featured in "The Fader", NPR, Complex, PBS, "Paper Magazine", Vice, "Bonafide Magazine", "Hypebeast", Koss, "TimeOut", and "Pitchfork".
