Don’t lie. We’ve all been there. We’ve all had moments where we have questioned what key historical figures were like and how major historical events could have *potentially* gone down.

Birthday parties usually focus on commemorating the individual’s special day, those moments fill our spaces with love, laughter, and memories. Typically, during this time the individual celebrating their birthday is surrounded by friends and relatives who make them feel special. O-Slice, however, does things a little differently. Recognized for her unique rap flow, O-Slice is also known for her generosity and sense of community. With these attributes, O-Slice challenges the conventional birthday festivities. Every birthday celebration is a chance for her to reciprocate the love and support that she receives from her entourage.
This year, O-Slice celebrated her 30th birthday in high vibration and symphony. Through her organization, HYERLearnin, O-Slice hosted a special edition of “The Inner Circle,” a musical series that she started in 2016. The HYERLearnin initiative began as a small project to provide space for up-and-coming independent musicians in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area. Over the years, it has grown into a vital part of the DMV music scene. With eight sold-out shows and even a summer music festival under their belt, the organization has established itself as a movement rather than just a platform.
O-Slice’s goal for the HYERLearnin was to curate a concert experience that was more impactful than ordinary. Along with her talented friends, she created an environment where artists can work together, connect, and support one another.
While the crowd celebrated O-Slice’s birthday, some of the most promising up-and-coming artists in the DMV were highlighted. The list included the following artists: Adwoa, Al Hostile, Matt McGhee, Anguesomo, Foots X Coles, and Neptune XXI. Each musician showcased their individual and distinctive sound throughout their performances. The room was filled with the liveliest to the most free-flowing energy. The Inner Circle 9 was like a family get-together. In that space, you’re guaranteed to discover a new favorite performer.
What makes The Inner Circle—and O-Slice birthday parties—so memorable is O-Slice’s ability to combine communal inspiration with personal celebration. We are looking forward to enjoying music from O-Slice and witnessing the expansion of the HYERLearnin!
