Main Event

**Main Event** keeps the spirit of East Coast hip-hop alive with his gritty lyricism and soulful beats. Hailing from Newark, New Jersey, this rapper/producer (and proud Brick City Hip-Hop Collective member) built a rep for blending street-smart storytelling with introspective vibes. After a brief hiatus around 2018 (shoutout to his aptly titled track *Hiatus*), he came back swinging with bangers like *Thunder in Your Heart* and *BALL 4 LIFE* – the latter doubling as both a basketball anthem and a metaphor for his grind. Known for dropping wisdom between head-nodding hooks, Main Event often reps his Jersey roots while keeping it relatable, whether he’s dissecting life’s chaos on *Shut It All Down* or chasing hope on *Always Tomorrow*. Bonus fact: Dude’s a sneakerhead who’s been spotted coaching youth basketball leagues when he’s not in the booth.
