THE ONES KNOWN AS // hip-hop

AJAX & YMI WITLESS // horror hip-hop
Dark. Raw. Real.
AJAX is a horrorcore hip-hop artist out of Minnesota blending eerie storytelling, gritty street life, and twisted lyrical imagery. Inspired by the underground legends like ICP, Ouija Macc and Tech N9ne, AJAX brings a fresh yet bloodstained take on the wicked shit — mixing horror, pain, and rebellion into every track.
Founder of AJAX Productions, he’s known for haunting visuals, gritty hooks, and a DIY grind that doesn’t stop. From tracks like “Mind of a Murderer” to “Eyes in the Back of My Head,” AJAX delivers soundtracks for the souls lost in darkness but still standing.
Follow for new drops every month. Light up. Lock in.
Welcome to the darker side of hip-hop
YAMI DEWS // hip-hop
Yami Dews is an independent artist from St. Cloud, MN. Sober for 3+ years, he uses his music as a conduit for his pain and lived-experiences. Yami Dews tells his stories through his songs–raw and unfiltered.
With a style that blends hip-hop with emotion and atmosphere, Yami makes music for people who feel too much and carry heavy thoughts. Through his music, Yami Dews strives to help people like him feel seen and heard. He’s creating, evolving, and connecting.
L-DUB & ROBS // hip-rock
Local artists L-Dub and Robs have always lived in St. Cloud. Their original sound comes from a combination of hip-hip and rock (hip-rock), creating high energy songs crowds love to dance to. L-Dub raps while Smokin Robs plays electric guitar, making original music for the masses, with the occasional industry beat or parody song thrown in for good measure.
Project 37 is a non-profit with a mission to provide spaces and opportunities for all ages to enjoy music in safe and sober environments. You can help us continue that goal by coming to shows, following us on social media, or telling people about what we do.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
