If A COLORS Show is a music performance platform with no real rules around genre or curation, On The Radar is its hip-hop counterpart; equally reliable in who it features and how early it catches artists in their careers. Founded by NYC-born, raised-and-based media personality Gabe P in 2018, the show has, in its near-decade run, grown from a modest freestyle series into an authority many artists now treat as a necessary stamp of credibility for their careers.
Some of the world’s most serious bar-for-bar talents have stepped up under the platform’s now-signature green neon logo; that includes Central Cee, Lil Yachty, Skepta, and Fivio Foreign, to name a few. And if you were ever curious to know, a few from our side of the world have also gone in just as hard.
