The Historic Howard Theater Host “The Biggest Open Gem Ever part 2” !

This premier open mic experience is open to all performers - singers, rappers, producers, poets, comedians, instrumentalists, and dancers, while spotlighting Ché Noir as the headliner. 

Ché Noir, a Buffalo-based emcee and producer, is known for delivering strong and direct lyrics over production inspired by mid-'90s East Coast rap. Drawing from inspirations including Rhapsody, Foxy Brown & Jay-Z to name a few.

A phenomenal storyteller, Ché carved her own path in such a male-dominated genre by building an impressive music catalog with artists such as Benny The Butcher, 38 Spesh, & Black Thought to name a few.

With albums such as 2020's "As God Intended" and 2022's "Food for Thought," Ché Noir demonstrates her range of styles and techniques, from nostalgic reminiscences to crime-driven narratives.
