Despite their name, ICON FOR HIRE aren’t indebted to anyone but their fans. Since forming in 2007, the duo—singer Ariel Bloomer and guitarist Shawn Jump—have amassed a legion of followers who have connected with not only the band’s genre-bending sound, but also their honesty. That soul-baring spirit and realism is at the heart of everything Icon For Hire do, and it’s front and center on their latest Billboard-charting release, YOU CAN’T KILL US…
Produced by Mike Green (Gwen Stefani, All Time Low) and funded by fans through Kickstarter on a campaign that raised $127, 200—making it one of the year’s highest-raising music campaigns—the self-released album marks a brand-new chapter for the band.
Blending hard rock, hip-hop, electronica and pop into an anthemic swirl of both melody and muscle, You Can’t Kill Us isn’t only a modern sounding record—it’s awash in lyrical themes that tap into the times as well. Addiction, depression and self-worth are all topics Ariel addresses and these themes reverberate loudly in today’s tumultuous, judgment-first culture.
After all, having survived the record label system and reemerged stronger than ever, Icon For Hire are living proof that you can take control of your life—and that’s perhaps the greatest success anyone can hope to accomplish.

BIZZY BONE
2024-10-10 19:00 | Treefort Music Hall, 722 W. Broad Street, Boise, ID, 83702, United States
Best known as a member of the Cleveland crew Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, rapper Bizzy Bone began a prolific, risk-taking, and sometimes baffling solo career in 1998. Combining rapid raps and laid-back singing, his soul-searching debut, Heaven’z Movie, didn’t sound entirely unlike a Bone Thugs album, but it was obvious that on his own Bizzy felt free to explore his psyche and to go eccentric places his group just would not. The Gift from 2001 further divided Bone fans, with some seeing his confessional writing as riveting while others found it overly indulgent. A year later at a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony performance in New York City, Bizzy was noticeably drunk and walked off-stage halfway through the show. He was let go from the group that night, but Bizzy claimed he had been a solo artist for years and only a guest in the group. He also began giving more interviews around this time, frequently speaking about his new crew, the 7th Sign. He also made an appearance on the Fox television series America’s Most Wanted, revealing he had been kidnapped at the age of four and had wrongly believed his mother was dead until he was rescued, thanks to someone who had recognized his picture from a photo shown at the end of the 1983 television movie Adam.
If it seemed the black sheep of Bone was becoming more personal and approachable, 2004’s fascinating and cryptic Alpha and Omega was a puzzling move, but fans responded positively to the album, influencing Bizzy to produce his own underground limited-edition album, The Beginning and the End. In 2005 he made news with a drunken appearance on Houston’s KPFT radio, where he claimed to be homeless. He made no excuses for his appearance in the many interviews that would follow, and while he admitted he wasn’t actually homeless, he did admit to having a drinking problem and that he was working on controlling it. With Bizzy showing no signs of slowing down, the perfectly titled Speaking in Tongues appeared that year along with two mail order-only releases — For the Fans, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 — and a reunion album with Bone member Layzie Bone titled Bone Brothers. Bizzy’s refusal to tour in support of Bone Brothers found him out of favor with the group once again, and the full Bone reunion that had been talked about fell apart. Bizzy moved ahead and made 2006 even busier with the albums Thugs Revenge, The Story, and The Midwest Cowboy all landing that year. A second volume of Bone Brothers arrived in 2007. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi

Simply put, hip-hop might not be the same without Juvenile.
Over nearly three decades, the multi platinum record-breaking New Orleans icon served up a string of classic albums, influenced two generations of stars, and pioneered a sound rooted in Louisiana bounce, yet carried by worldwide rap appeal and ambition. Like all timeless stories though, his stretches back to humble beginnings in the neighborhood his music put on the map: the Magnolia Projects. As if predisposed by destiny to pick up a microphone, he heard Melle Mel’s verse on “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, commenced spitting, and never stopped since…
“That’s really when it all started,” he recalls. “I heard Melle Mel saying, ‘Don’t push me, ‘cuz I’m close to the edge’, and that was it. I was only seven-years-old, but I knew I had to rap.”
He made local waves by appearing on DJ Jimi’s “It’s Jimi” in 1991 before bringing a national spotlight to the burgeoning bounce music style on his breakthrough “Bounce for the Juvenile.” After building a fan base on his 1995 debut Being Myself, the production of Mannie Fresh caught his ear, and nothing would be the same. At the time, the in-house Cash Money Records producer cooked up “Drag ‘Em ‘N’ tha River” for UNLV—a group Juvenile brought to the label.
In response, Juvenile recorded “Set It Off” and knew he “had to get with Mannie Fresh.”
“At the beginning, I truly came to Cash Money, because of Mannie Fresh,” he recalls. “I knew his beats were bigger than most artists. There was something there.”
There definitely was…
After his Cash Money Records debut Solja Rags, he crafted an era-defining opus in the form of 400 Degreez. Not only did it go quadruple-platinum, but it also became “the best-selling album in Cash Money Records History.” It produced staples such as the title track, “Ha” (which JAY-Z notably remixed), and “Back That Azz Up.” The latter would be sampled by everyone from Drake to City Girls. The Ringer lauded 400 Degreez among the “20 Best Southern Rap Albums Ever” behind only UGK’s Ridin’ Dirty and OutKast’s Aquemini. Pitchfork bestowed a rare 9.4-out-of-10 rating upon the record, and Kendrick Lamar cited it as one of his “Favorite Albums” in Complex and went so far as to claim, “They had the West Coast on smash. We definitely tried to be like them.” The heat spread far and wide across the United States.
“I remember I had a show with Funkmaster Flex in the Tunnel in New York city around the time 400 Degreez came out,” he recalls. “Everybody told me, ‘Don’t sing no other song, but ‘Ha’. If you sing anything else, they might jump on you and beat y’all up!’ I sang ‘Ha’ for forty minutes straight. It was the hardest place for any artist from the South to break into, but I did. It really broke the mold.”
Around the same time, Juvenile comprised The Hot Boys alongside Lil Wayne, B.G., and Turk. Together, they smashed charts with the Get It How U Live! [1997] and the platinum Guerilla Warfare [1999]. His next solo offering, Tha G-Code, went double-platinum followed by the platinum Project English. Meanwhile, 2003’s Juve The Great emerged as another unsung platinum classic as “Slow Motion” [feat. Soulja Slim] topped the Billboard Hot 100 at #1 for two weeks. He maintained a prolific pace in the ensuing years and collaborated with everyone from Future to Yo Gotti before reuniting with Cash Money Records.
“It’s more like a family reunion than anything,” he smiles. “It’s a friendship that never should’ve separated. Back in the day, Baby and I were always really tight. It’s tighter now. We think differently. We know when we hit the studio, it’s time to work. In the nineties, it was more about trying to control the industry and be at the forefront. We’re not trying to be better than everything out there; we’re just trying to show our fanbase we can still make good music. We have a great chemistry and always have. I thought it was a good idea for him and I to do a project together. He agreed. It was something we wanted to do forever, but never got around to it. I want him to talk that shit. I do my thing. Do your thing brother. That’s what makes our chemistry great.”
The chemistry thrives on their 2019 first full-length collaborative album, J.A.G.It boldly extended Juvenile’s own legacy with unanimous praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Billboard as the singles “Just Another Gangsta” and “Dreams” [feat. NLE Choppa] tallied over 20 million total streams and views. Moreover, it preceded the stage for another collaborative effort and an O.G. Cash Money Records reunion on “Ride Dat” [feat. Lil Wayne].
Juvenile also inspires the next generation as his song Young Juve picks up the microphone for a bevy of upcoming singles.
In the end, Juvenile continues to shape and spearhead the future of hip-hop.
“I just want people to enjoy the music,” he leaves off. “I want to keep making good music. It’s all about a positive mood. Birdman and I are going to continue this. We’ve got a whole new breath of fresh air coming from my way. We’re going to get this bread.”

Mannie Fresh
Mannie Fresh is known to fans and throughout the music industry as a genre-defining producer, artist and entertainer. He started out as one of the best DJs in New Orleans and is now multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated.
Responsible for creating hits with such acclaimed artists as UGK, Trina, Gucci Man, The Notorious B.I.G. and, of course, Cash Money, Mannie Fresh continuously shifts culture. In recent years alone, he launched a Black Music Month playlist for Apple and #VirusKillaz virtual parties to stave off COVID-induced cabin fever. He made his rounds in the community with a “Vax That Thang Up” remix with Juvenile and Mia X for the dating app, BLK, and even lent his voice to local politics.
In 2023, during a performance in Washington, D.C., Congressman Troy A. Carter (D-LA) presented Mannie Fresh with an official Congressional Record to acknowledge not only his contributions to Louisiana’s world renowned sound, but also the way his drum patterns are woven into the fabric of America.
“I’m a second generation DJ,” Fresh said on Apple Music’s The Estelle Show. “I experienced Black Music – the 60s and the 70s – from my dad [DJ Sabu] deejaying, and that’s when everything was Black Power, there was a message in the music. Marvin Gaye, ‘What’s Going On,’ that was pivotal to us. Bob Marley, Legend, it taught us how to get along with everybody and it also taught us culture. James Brown, ‘I’m Black and I’m Proud,’ that just shows you what the power of Black artists and good music could do.”
Mannie Fresh is currently celebrating the release of a 25th anniversary edition of Juvenile’s debut album, 400 Degreez (1998), which features Jay-Z and went 4x platinum. Fresh produced, engineered and mixed all of the tracks on the original and dropped two new ones for the 2024 version, building on the momentum the two Hot Boys created when they visited NPR’s “Tiny Desk” for what is now one of the most seen episodes on YouTube with more than 7 million views.
As a teenager, Fresh had stepped out on his own, joining the Noila-based hip hop crew, New York Incorporated. They were responsible for some of the best parties in the city. With their fame, he caught the attention of rapper Gregory D, formed a rap duo and was quickly signed to RCA to release The Real Deal (1992). Rap fans in the Big Easy fell in love with the album but it didn’t make much noise on a national level. The duo split, but Fresh and Gregory D remained friends and soon another opportunity came along. Brian “Baby” Williams offered Fresh a chance to join his fledgling crew, Cash Money. Working with Baby and other Cash Money members, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Turk and BG, they created an impressive discography of chart-topping hits.
Fueled by Mannie Fresh’s quirky, inspiring production in the late nineties, Cash Money became the preeminent, southern hip hop label. His beats defined the sound of Cash Money with such cultural phenomena as Juvenile’s megahits, “Ha,” “Back That Azz Up,” Lil Wayne’s “Go D.J.” and the crew’s “Cash Money Is an Army” and “Bling Bling,” among others. Baby and Mannie also formed their own group, Big Tymers, and released a slew of great singles and albums, including “Still Fly,” “Get Your Roll On” and “#1 Stunna.” His solo albums, The Mind of Mannie Fresh (2004) and Return of Ballin’ (2009) feature Bun B, Rick Ross and Lil Jon.
Mannie Fresh has always pushed the envelope, mixing layers of hip hop, funk and southern bounce with his sense of humor and warm personality. He continues to work with some of today’s biggest stars, producing bangers with Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, Yasiin Bey, Big
K.R.I.T. and Young Jeezy – his tables set to establish New Orleans’ unique hip hop sound as one of America’s greatest innovations.

JOSH WOLF: HIGH ON LIFE TOUR
Knitting Factory – Boise
416 S. 9th St. – Boise, ID 83702
SunOctober 138:00 pm(Doors: 7:00 pm)
13 and up

Comedian actor and writer Josh Wolf has become one of the most sought after personalities in comedy today. From adding his quick witted commentary on comedy round tables to becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author writing on hit television shows and headlining stand-up comedy tours across the nation Wolf has proved time and time again he is one of the most dynamic and multi-faceted comedians in the entertainment business. Wolf was a regular round table guest and writer on the hit E! series “Chelsea Lately ” and recently appeared as a performer on the new E! series “After Lately.” In March 2013 Wolf debuted his latest book “It Takes Balls: Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions from an Unprepared Single Dad.” Funny and brutally honest the book details Wolf’s adventures as a struggling stand-up comedian while juggling being a single parent in Los Angeles.
Born in Boston Massachusetts and raised in Amherst- Wolf had a love for comedy and making people laugh from an early age. As a teenager he took to the stage in the Boston area performing his first stand up show when he was 15 years old. By the time he was in his mid-twenties he was ready for a fresh start and moved to Seattle Washington in hopes of expanding his comedy career. He was able to get more stage time and practice in the comedy world as indie musicians were dominating Seattle’s live entertainment scene. When he was 28 Wolf decided to make the move to Los Angeles. After several years in Seattle he had made his mark in the local comedy circuit and wanted to play with the big boys of comedy. He quickly discovered it wasn’t any easier being a small fish in a saturated comedy pond than a big fish in the entertainment pond of a port city.
In 1999 Wolf got his first big break performing a one man show at the HBO Workspace- which landed him a talent deal at 20th Century Fox and a deal for his own television series with ABC. A deal with NBC soon followed. While testing the waters on the television front Wolf began writing for TV and quickly found it was another aspect of the entertainment business that he loved. He wrote on numerous sitcoms including “Yes Dear ” Will Smith’s “All of Us ” and “Cuts ” starring Shannon Elizabeth. He soon decided he wanted to dedicate all his time to writing and stepped down from stand up and appearing on camera.
In 2006 Wolf returned to television appearing on the fourth season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” This also marked his return to sitcoms recurring on the hit series “My Name Is Earl” from 2006-09 and recurring and writing for “Raising Hope” in 2010-11. 2009 was also a banner year for Wolf as he started making regular appearances on Chelsea Handler’s hit E! television series “Chelsea Lately ” and he toured nationwide with stand-up comedy sensation Larry the Cable Guy. Wolf also found a way to tap into his passion for sports and hosted two seasons of “The College Experiment ” a comedic weekly online college sports show for Fox Sports. In 2011 Wolf ended his touring with Larry the Cable Guy and committed to appearing on “Chelsea Lately” once a week while in conjunction writing for the show. He also became a New York Times Bestselling Author for his contributions to Chelsea Handler’s book Lies that Chelsea Hander Told Me.” In 2012 Wolf landed a book deal with Grand Central Publishing to pen his first book written solo “It Takes Balls: Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions from an Underprepared Single Dad.” He also recently wrote a screenplay feature for Adam Sandler’s production company Happy Madison.
Wolf currently lives in the Los Angeles area with his wife Beth. In his down time he loves to hang out with his wife and kids Trevor Kaitlynn and Jacob. On the charity front Wolf has a passion for supporting the troops & actively participates with various organizations.

Cigs Inside
CIGS INSIDE is an experimental hip-hop trio (ieke, Coleman, Sstrawberry) explores the trials and tribulations of extending oneself and the feelings that can come with it. The trio combines electro-pop and hip-hop with breakcore and R&B by blending modern production and analog instrumentation with an affinity for modern rap music and 80’s alternative. Sorting through deep emotions while navigating the intensity of mania, CIGS INSIDE faces the realities of living recklessly and the insecurities of the aftermath on “BlickyBlam”.

Hudson Powder Company
Hudson Powder Company was formed in 2023, when our frontman Cooper Lowry returned home to the Treasure Valley after an extended period of time “roughing it” in Western Montana. Searching for a backing band, Mr. Lowry wisely recruited Alexis Galvan (drums; percussion), Ricky Jones (bass guitar; backing vocals), and Doug Rudeen (guitar). What do we sound like? Well imagine a goth rock band or a post-rock band had …carnal relations…with a country/americana/”red dirt” band, and their offspring somehow managed to create music that was actually ✨good✨. You might not expect this to happen in real life (that would be a reasonable expectation). However, this is the essence of what Hudson Powder Company is. I guess what we’re really trying to do is create a sort of sound that’s somehow uniquely Idahoan or unique to the Inland Northwest. We feel that there isn’t really a genre of music that’s endemic to this area and we’d like to try and change that in some way. Whether we do that or not doesn’t really matter, it’s interesting to try.

Touché Amoré has been burrowing through angst, alienation, cancer, and death throughout four adored studio albums. After over a decade of working through darkness, the band’s gorgeously gruff fifth album, Lament, finds the light at the end of the tunnel. Through 11 songs, Touché Amoré looks back at its past and uses hard-won optimism to point its fans toward light, and love.
Lament is their masterstroke. Its longer, structured songs soar with a ferocious but delicate musicality and powerful, gut-wrenching storytelling that smashes previous heights. Yet as much as the band has grown and matured via everything they’ve endured, it’s perhaps equally impressive how they’ve managed to stay true to their core…
Lament is a widescreen view at the constant fragility we face as people, as well as, life-after-jarring-trauma that we all must endure at some time or another.
Ultimately, the message from Lament? Bolm sums it up best: “That time doesn’t heal. That love can nurture. That it’s okay to not be okay.”
Soul Glo At Pickathon 2022
Soul Glo
If you gave Soul Glo a snapshot of what was in store for them in 2020 at the end of their first practice in 2014, you might put the space time continuum in flux. If you were to tell vocalist Pierce Jordan and guitarist Ruben Polo that everything that they had spent their first month as a band joking about, playing shows with artists from punk vets Paint It Black to Kurt Cobain’s favorites Flipper; from Memphis underground legend Tommy Wright III to platinum producer Pi’erre Bourne, were to actually happen, they might ask you if your hands were as fast as your jokes were. Despite the constant barrage of setbacks, from member changes, to financial strife, to run-ins with the law, Soul Glo has both repeatedly defied the kinds of odds that would fold lesser bands, not to mention their own standards for what they believed they could endure. Simultaneously, stopping or slowing down has never exactly been on the table for them, either.
“When we were stranded in Missouri, we started to weigh out the pros and cons of relocating there. We weren’t just about to leave our mans,” Jordan says. “Songs started getting crafted out there that we still have in the chamber.”
That said, their next release, Songs To Yeet At The Sun, serves as a perfect respite from the silence in between LP’s and the current lull in live performances that the band has become known for nationwide. The five song blessing gives a further insight into the frankly deranged production of bassist/producer Gianmarco Guerra, who served as the sole producer and one of three engineers for the record. Songs like “(Quietly) Do The Right Thing” and “29” continue to show Soul Glo’s affinity for speed as a vehicle for their aggression and messages, while songs like “I’m On Probation” and the previously released “Mathed Up” shows the bands love of chaotic-yet-atmospheric noise and the most popular rhythmic vocal styles of today’s current rap on top of the pummelling heaviness of the drums of TJ Stevenson. The band continues to showcase the rhythmic synergy existing between the entirety of the ensemble throughout the record, while the song “2K” features the straightforward rap production that peeked through on crowd-favorite songs “31” and “32” on the bands previous record The Nigga In Me Is Me, and also features a verse with instantly quotable lines from Richmond, VA artist Archangel.
All things considered, in a year where it feels as though quite literally anything could happen at any given moment, a record like the one that Soul Glo shorthandledly refers to as Yeet, one that features a violent and compelling sonic fusion that only they are capable of, is deeply necessary to times in which we currently find ourselves. In times where we are simply trying to survive from one minute to the next, one day to the next, it feels good in its own way, less lonely perhaps, to have music that reflects that uncertainty and fear.

Portrayal of Guilt
Portrayal of Guilt eschew predictability. While the Austin, Texan outfit have released material at a rapid clip since their formation only six years ago, it has been near-impossible to predict what each ensuing release might sound like. The only window into what to expect has been those releases’ titles, wallowing in themes of affliction, isolation, and just plain underworld allusion. Naturally, this leads to…Devil Music.
After shifting their sound over several immediate releases (most recent, 2021’s widely acclaimed CHRISTFUCKER), Portrayal of Guilt has transformed from masters of the traditional ‘90s screamo template, to fit a more blackened and sludgy metal intensity.
Citing a wide spectrum of influences, Devil Music, tracked in two different sessions in early 2022, is an experimental approach to writing heavy music. It offers five new original songs on Side A; and then a reimagining of those same five songs on Side B, replacing much of the traditional guitars and bass setup with an orchestral string section, acoustic bass, and brass.
The sludgy, thudding riffs of the album’s opening salvo, “One Last Taste of Heaven,” is transformed on the other side into harrowing violin waxing, while King’s unholy screech remains, nurturing the sound into a sort of chamber metal. It’s a paean to death and decomposition, with the original perhaps a violent aural display of the former and the unnerving rearrangement meant to convey the languid rot of the latter.
It leads into “Untitled,” an absolutely distressing depiction of purgatory with a nonetheless catchy rhythm, which the band manages to transform into a hellish near-waltz of sorts on its alternate version. Beyond that painting of torture, “Burning Hand” provides a brief foray into gory horror. The album’s pounding closer and title track sounds as though a Mephistophilean angel casts a scourge upon the narrator. Musically, “Burning Hand” even showcases some industrial drums, plus a rare spate of clean, semi-gothic singing to close it out. This uncharacteristic vocal detour helps build its counterpart to a demonic climax.
“Where Angels Come to Die” hints at the darkest of circumstances, possibly alluding to addiction and suicidal ideation, and is musically among the album’s most cacophonous; one hears it remodeled on Side B into a methodically paced number with lurching stop-starts on its bridge before a triumphant buildup to finish it.
Devil Music cements Portrayal of Guilt as a band of their own ilk, playing by no one’s rules but their own, which even here they bend to their will. The album sees its digital release April 20 and will be available on physical formats April 21 via Run For Cover. There will also be an accompanying Devil Music short film DVD, sold separately, which includes the short film and additional video content.
