KCSB Presents Hook & CLIP Live

Santa Barbara’s non-commercial, independent, student-run radio station, 91.9 KCSB-FM, invites the UCSB campus and our community-at-large to Storke Plaza on Friday, November 18th at 8pm for a concert headlined by up-and-coming, alternative rappers Hook and CLIP. This free event is KCSB’s first outdoor concert open to the general public in three years.

Hook + CLIP have both been redefining everything we know about rap with their alternative, inventive, and ever-evolving sounds. Hook’s music is full of brazen energy, 808-fueled chaos, and introspection, which has made her one of the most versatile stars in rap today. CLIP has been proving herself as one of the most exciting rising stars with her synth-heavy, spacey sound that lets her personality and energy shine—whether she’s rapping over deep booming 808’s or singing over “DnB” (Drum and Bass).

Here’s more on our special guests:

Hailing from Riverside, CA, Hook broke out in 2019 with her self-titled EP and hasn’t looked back since. Since her debut, she has collaborated with artists such as AzChike, Zack Fox, and 645AR, dropped four albums, and been praised for her unique sound by publications like The Fader, Pitchfork, and OkayPlayer.

Based in New York City, CLIP may be most well known for her viral 2020 hit “Sad B!tch” Her songs immerse fans into a full spectrum of her moods. Described as “Hip Hop’s hottest alt girl” in The Fader, CLIP paves the way with her rebellious, determined, and self-made personality. In the last two months alone, she has also been featured in publications such as Pitchfork, Hypebeast, and performed for Rolling Loud New York.
