Wave Chapelle: A rap industry veteran with millions of streams

Описание: Milwaukee's rap scene continues to grow. More and more artists are emerging from the city, making Milwaukee a household name in the rap industry. One of those artists putting Milwaukee on the map is Wave Chapelle.

"Milwaukee is like the hidden gem of the Midwest. We got our own lingo, our own culture, our own style of dress, you know what I mean, ur own experiences that the mainstream hasn't seen yet," Radontae Ashford, who goes by the stage name Wave Chapelle, said.

Wave Chapelle grew up around Villard and Hampton streets in Milwaukee. He started rapping around 2008 in his grandma's basement with his cousin. That transitioned to battle rapping upperclassmen when he was a student at Messmer High School. His big breakthrough came in 2013 when he was signed to popular rapper Yo Gotti's label. During that time he met major artists like Drake and Rick Ross. Then in 2017, he became an independent artist.
