Hip-Hop in Columbus, OH

Columbus punches above its weight in the Midwest, with a large university population and a warehouse-rich Short North district that have made it a hub for indie rock, EDM, and hip-hop. The Newport Music Hall, billed as America's longest continuously running rock club, anchors the High Street corridor alongside Ace of Cups. The Bluestone, a converted church in the Brewery District, hosts country and jazz acts, while the metal scene thrives in underground rooms in the Olde Towne East neighborhood.
