As the CEO of his independent record label 86 America, Lightshow is committed to creating a platform for local artists on the rise. He also doesn’t shy away from discussing sociopolitical issues such as gun violence (Lightshow himself is a survivor) and the affects of gentrification in his community. With his effortless flow and thought-provoking lyrics, Lightshow is quickly emerging as one of the most refreshing talents in hip-hop.
