Over the years, many celebrations have marked the coincidence of June 15th with the 615 area code, shorthand for “Nashville” for decades. This year, Gee Slab and the Six One Trïbe crew organized a 615 Day party that had The Basement East bumping with fantastic local hip-hop talent, and brought out an array of vendors and food trucks, representing small businesses from around the city. The success of this inaugural event makes it fundamental work for building the infrastructure to help Black creative entrepreneurship thrive again in Nashville. Slab aims to broaden Trïbe’s 615 Day over time, bringing in a wealth of music from outside the confines of the mainstream country machine — the sky’s the limit.
