It’s hard not to get involved when you can tell a part is too tight or too loose just by the sound of the tool. Brown has been repairing cars for over 45 years, 25 of those years in Knoxville. His business, Mr. Cool’s, was one of the first black-owned business in West Knoxville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026203251-JORHZQYEQKGCWG3P5JSR/KNS+Mr+Cool+111.JPG Black in Business Pam Brown works in the lobby at Mr. Cool's AC Transmission & Brake Service in Knoxville.

For the time being, those in the Good Guy Collective lean on other members for support until a venue dedicated to hip-hop is created or someone's music grows big enough to put Knoxville's scene on the map. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026179879-HITABEBP6OPGK7RMUP40/_DSF0421.JPG Black in Business Niya G performs during her album release party at Alibaba's in West Knoxville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026181535-XA1BQPUW6DK8OHCVYERP/_DSF0647.JPG Black in Business A crowd sings along as Niya G performs at her album release party at Alibaba’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026186242-EPELXTDB5NKFOH7ASQXA/KNS+Hip+Hop+44.JPG Black in Business Hip-hop artist Mr. Mack, an Alcoa native, has released dozens of mixtapes over the years and has worked alongside some of Tennessee’s top talent, including “Down in the DM” rapper Yo Gotti. But the scene in Knoxville has been overshadowed by the signature sound of Memphis hip-hop and the widespread taste for country music throughout the Volunteer State. Many local rappers talk about the “glass ceiling,” the point in which hip-hop artists reach their peak in Knoxville without much recognition beyond their peers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026186760-HCWLKDK14Q7ANQFDRNIR/KNS+Hip+Hop+45.JPG Black in Business For years, Jay Harris has provided a place for performers and fans of musical sub-cultures to gather at The Concourse, a former downtown music venue that recently moved to a shopping center on North Broadway. While hip-hop is mainstream, Knoxville artists don’t feel the same support performers receive in other cities. Harris saw similarities between the genre and the underground music the venue typically hosts. Mainly, hip-hop performers in Knoxville feel like they have no place to go – no venue large enough to help young artists grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026188032-N7UO62WXIPQICVVQYFW3/KNS+Hip+Hop+46.JPG Black in Business If Harris was going to begin hosting hip-hop show regularly, he knew the Good Guy Collective was the group to call. The collective has relied on community center The Birdhouse and small venues like The Pilot Light to share their art and message. But the low capacity of these venues have limited artists’ reach. Selling a handful of tickets at The Birdhouse could mean a sell-out show, but it doesn’t help artists gauge their success. The Concourse, on the other hand, has a 1000-person capacity with state-of-the-art equipment, a full bar and a longstanding reputation for hosting quality shows. The sky is the limit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026188502-2Q090TWZSHZPGIOWNBAK/KNS+Hip+Hop+47.JPG Black in Business The first hip-hop showcase at The Concourse took place Jan. 20 and also served as a tribute to 30-year-old Alonzo Mackcell Rodgers, a member of the Good Guy Collective who was shot and killed in November. The collective sang tracks featuring Rodgers, who performed posthumously through music videos and livestreams recorded for past projects. His explosive voice, described by friends and family as angelic, still resonated with those in attendance as they shouted praise each time his chorus boomed through the speakers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026189296-UB4MRKQBOKBY6T0H2XIG/KNS+Hip+Hop+48.JPG Black in Business The Good Guy Collective will host hip-hop showcases at The Concourse each month under the working title “Flight School.” The group also plans to host a larger hip-hop event featuring a popular artist from outside the city four times a year. Colby Earles, who performs as Mr. Kobayashi, is an experienced member of the collective who has seen Knoxville artists come and go without fully learning the strategies to find success. “Flight School” will focus on teaching techniques to help young artists thrive – everything from how to hold a microphone to how to communicate with venue owners about why they deserve to be in the spotlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026190591-TUL3BR910RWSYAECKPA6/KNS+Hip+Hop+49.JPG Black in Business Today’s hip-hop doesn’t always share the same positive message the genre was designed to promote. The Good Guy Collective’s independent sound isn’t the most popular among today’s listeners, but their focus on unity and community empowerment serve an important purpose in their hometown. Rodgers’ death is a reflection of Knoxville’s recent uptick in gun violence. The collective has remained a close-knit group of like-minded creatives who support each other on tracks and from the side of the stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026190934-WMID20YOEOFP4OJO4R3W/KNS+Hip+Hop+50.JPG Black in Business The first showcase allowed those who knew Rodgers to share memories of the talented big guy with a big heart. His mother, Rachel Rodgers, is thankful her son had the opportunity to experience the joy music can bring. Rodgers, the son of a preacher, brought joy to others through his infectious humor and devotion to his gospel roots. “If you met Mackcell, you met somebody great,” she said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026192341-D9DABAB7URBKSBRMTI4E/KNS+Hip+Hop+51.JPG Black in Business It’s no secret Rodgers also had a big appetite. Carrick Taylor and Rodgers, self-described “East TN fatboys,” co-hosted a YouTube series dedicated to some of their favorite food from Knoxville and throughout the region. “Hanger MGMT” featured lighthearted reviews, back-and-forth banter and inquisitive conversations with chefs. Rodgers also liked to cook, which runs in the family. While his mother was known for her baking skills, Rodgers had a passion for barbecue and experimenting with his own sauces. Another friend, Aj Branner, said Rodgers was smoking a turkey the night he was shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026192719-QFJ4UUPWUZX7JBOTDIE1/KNS+Hip+Hop+52.JPG Black in Business An intimate group of family, friends and music lovers showed up in support for Rodgers and the greater hip-hop community Jan. 20. The showcases have room to grow, as do the artists. Music has the power to bring people together, and Rodgers was a people person. He was a dedicated family man and a Freemason, who was in the process of planning a Valentine’s Day ball for the fraternal organization. While the showcase featured somber moments of reflection, it also was highlighted by energy and joy as those in attendance celebrated the legacy he left behind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1647026193836-TWA4VCLNYU2ETZATGINJ/KNS+Hip+Hop+53.JPG Black in Business Good Guy Collective member Jarius Bush, who performs as J.Bu$h, has spent years dedicated to helping other artists master their sound. While Bush is known for his production skills, he also is a performer in the process of releasing his “Full Beard“ trilogy of albums. But his performance on Jan. 20 wasn’t quite the same without Rodgers singing in person. He might not have noticed, Mr. Kobayashi said, but Rodgers seemed to pull fans closer to the stage when it was his turn on the mic. While Bush will miss sharing the studio and stage with Rodgers, the music must go on. Hip-hop is entering a new chapter in Knoxville, and The Concourse is its home. http://www.calvinmattheis.com/news daily 0.75 2024-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5445cde9e4b0c418fe7f3bf1/1479321357973-LTN14FNQHA55IE5UXQHJ/Mattheis_Singles__0002.JPG news Police SWAT officers keep an eye on the alley where Thomas Fee, 52, of Hutchinson, barricaded himself in a garage with a gun, causing a standoff with police on July 4, 2014, in Hutchinson, Kan.
