Meant for the Milk Crate Mixtape Release Party at The Cobra

Meant for the Milk Crate returned to The Cobra September 18, 2018 with a special Mixtape Release Party. The night marked the release of the Meant for the Milk Crate Mixtape, mixed by AL-D featuring artists who have performed at the party in the past. This show featured performances by Young Quael, Case Arnold, Foundation, and Daisha McBride.

The event was listed as a Critics' Pick by the Nashville Scene:

"AL-D and E.T. have been dauntless in doing their part to spotlight local and regional hip-hop with their Meant for the Milk Crate showcase series and their weekly Fringe Radio Show on community station WRFN-LPFM. Over Meant for the Milk Crate’s five-year run, your hosts have put dozens of rappers on the stage at conventional Nashville venues, an important feat in itself. But now AL-D is going one step further and dropping a mixtape featuring tracks from past guests. The track list wasn’t available at press time, but previous bills have featured top-shelf MCs like Brian Brown, Rashad tha Poet, Virghost, Tiara P. and BeHoward, so chances are it’s going to be rad. And why not throw a party to celebrate? A $10 cover at the door will get you a copy of the mix, plus admission to live sets from established local rappers Young Quael, Case Arnold and Foundation, as well as choice up-and-comer Daisha McBride. On top of all that, you can watch (or spit some bars in) open-mic cyphers before and after the show." Stephen Trageser, Nashville Scene

The Meant for the Milk Crate Mixtape was later named "Best Hip-Hop Mixtape" by the Nashville Scene.

Meant for the Milk Crate at The Cobra

Meant for the Milk Crate returned to The Cobra for a July 14 showcase, featuring Brian Brown, Out Here Boys (Sofa Brown and Evan Blocker), Tyke T, and Weston.

The event was featured as a Critics' Pick by the Nashville Scene:

"AL-D and E.T.’s Meant for the Milk Crate hip-hop showcase series is approaching its fifth anniversary, so it’s likely most Nashvillians know what’s up by now. But maybe you’re here on vacation, or just moving to town. First of all, welcome, and second, you really wanna check this out. Your hosts are two outstanding rappers who’ve been known to spit a rhyme or three during the course of the evening, and they’ve got DJ Vamp on the decks, who makes the art of keeping the beat look easy. Four choice MCs are the featured guests for this installment: Music City’s Brian Brown, who’s been building up his already-strong following with new tracks from his forthcoming full-length Journey; also-local duo Out Here Boys, aka Sofa Brown and Evan Blocker, who’ve released two volumes of their athletic Move or Get Moved EP series this year; Memphis’ Tyke T, who slides between styles and voices like a chameleon changes colors; and Weston, whose lack of an internet presence is all the more reason to see him in the flesh. Really want your mind blown? Come early or stay late for the Olympic-level verbal gymnastics on display during the open-mic cyphers before and after the main show." Stephen Trageser, Nashville Scene
