This week we bring you performances from Durham, NC's Khx05 and Raleigh, NC's Ayo Norm.

Khx05 (pronounced “Chaos”) is a force. A queer/trans rapper and multi-disciplinary artist based in Durham, NC with Gullah-Gechee cultural roots. They began their journey in 2011, dancing professionally in the queer arts communities of North Carolina which led them to begin crafting their own songs to perform to at live shows in many venues through the south. Two mixtapes later, they met Suzi Analogue who invited them to the Never Normal Soundsystem to amplify their strong sound, piercing lyrics and banging beats. Their music slithers through genres and brings energy of resistance and liberation.


Ayo Norm is Norman Urbanek, an NC State student studying environmental technology and management who recently released the Stand. Urbanek has dedicated the album to the Black Lives Matter movement and is donating the proceeds of the album to the movement. Ayo Norm makes etherial beats with a range of unexpected samples that reward repeat listening but also help pave the way in your mind for a deeper groove.
