As part of the Commendations for Pittsburgh polls, which is a directory to recognize the creative communities in the city that consistently progressed with notable work, is the Year End Review Party.
On Saturday, December 22, 2018, the hype DJ and citywide myth Based Grvce plays an unreal hip-hop set. Grvce’s music selection is something you only could’ve heard in your dreams. For the Year End Review Party, DJ Based Grvce delivers the trap, the bops, the energy vibes and more hip-hop consumed by the youth. To explain how on-point her taste in music is, I’d like to say that Grvce first put me on to “Drip or Drown” by Atlanta phenom Gunna. She knows songs that hit and get the crowd excited, shaking, moshing, loving life. The tunes will sound right with free drinks all night if you buy a ticket, and the fact you can smoke in the basement of Boom Concepts, where the party will be, is added incentive. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate community with likeminded individuals so we can start 2019 positively. Merrymake for the holidays.
For a sample of what you could hear, below is a playlist of songs from the “Favorite Song,” “Best Hip-Hop Album,” “Favorite Producer,” and “Best Music Video” Commendation categories.
Every year the Commendations polls drop, there will be people in the community left off the list who deserve to be on it and celebrated. The list needs to remain curatorial, although while also being thorough in picking the work of a lot of people to celebrate. Here is some work not featured on the Commendations for Pittsburgh list for 2018:
Best Hip-Hop Album Snubbed
“big game james” by JvGGY Hendrix
