This week on The Re-Up Podcast:

The Re-Up Podcast returns to Fireplace Records for a deep conversation on the current state of underground music scenes, DIY culture, art collectives, and the impact of gentrification on local communities.

BeMo and ReUpAlex break down how redlining works, how corporate promoters like Live Nation affect independent venues and artists, and what communities can do to preserve authentic underground spaces. We also discuss artists like A$AP Rocky escaping their environments, building cultural movements, and representing their cities on a global level.

Topics include:

• Underground music scenes
• DIY venues and collectives
• Gentrification and redlining
• Live Nation and corporate influence
• Independent artists and local culture
• Community preservation
• Art, music, and city development
• A$AP Rocky and making it out of your city
