Montana of 300 Returns to BT for Third Round

Thursday, Oct. 4

Illinois hit-maker Montana of 300 will make his third appearance at Basement Transmissions on October 4th, and there's little doubt that the city of Erie will embrace the drill rapper's charismatic stage presence and thought-provoking lyrics with open arms. Before gracing us with his presence (along with his 300 team), hometown emcees will share the mic to represent the 814. William Weyes, who has been making his mark and partnering up with Pittsburgh producer Big Jerm, is relentlessly out to prove what our city has to offer. The smooth sounds of P Money$, who recently released his third project titled Perfection and Quality, plans to carry his set with hits from his latest work.

Other Erie lyricists such as TayJer, Ducky, and Drippy Cloud$ will spark up the night as trio Coast2Coast. DJ Vanni will sustain the mood throughout the venue while also introducing his artist, Tri-City sensation Jai Kelli, to the Erie scene.

I'm sure that Montana will be very pleased with such openers setting the tone for the evening. If you haven't been to any of the returning artist's shows, this is your chance to indulge in some high-energy and intense fun. The 300 lieutenant is nothing short of excellent and he effortlessly slays every time with classic freestyles and unforgettable bangers.

Photographer David Desin will be in the building capturing moments from the night for you to hold onto until the next showcase. Hosted by DJ Echo and DJ Vanni himself, this event promises to be an extravagant time that will have the town talking hours after the curtains close. Montana is familiar with taking things up a notch, but now that he has established a fan base here, there may be some surprises coming and a powerful performance that will have you craving more. — Charles Brown
