On June 13th, Swaggertown Records took over Columbus in a big way with a sold-out night at Woodlands Tavern, featuring the legendary Afroman. The vibe was more like a hip-hop block party than a typical concert, with thick smoke and high energy filling the room. If you weren’t in the city, you probably missed out — but the city definitely wasn’t missing the hype.
The buzz started weeks before the event. Billboards Swaggertown’s bold branding popped up all over town — from downtown streets to the outskirts. Huge shoutout to Deb at Out Front Media for flooding Columbus with visuals that got everyone talking.
True to his laid-back style, Afroman showed up late, joking, “I was gonna be on time… but then I got high.” Once on stage, he blew the crowd away with hits like “Because I Got High” and “Colt 45,” turning the venue into a smoky, nostalgic party that had everyone singing along.
RCXY Brings the Energy
Before Afroman, RCXY had the crowd hyped with his electric set, ending with his signature move — ripping off his shirt and tossing it to the fans. The place erupted with chants of “Rickey! Rickey!” proving he owns the city’s energy.
DJLeach Turns Up the Smoke
When DJLeach played his track “High Life,” the crowd lit up—literally. Lighters flickered everywhere as smoke filled the air, making Woodlands feel like one big chill session.
Jake Strain’s Generous Hustle
Jake Strain hit the stage with swagger, performing “Low For The Hunnids.” Midway, he started throwing hundred-dollar bills into the crowd — rumor has it he gave away all his show money, channeling that Young Dolph spirit. Fans went wild grabbing the cash as he rapped like a man with nothing to lose.

Fate Closes with Fire
Wrapping up, Fate dropped an unreleased banger, “Can’t Stand Em,” firing up the crowd with intense flow and hard-hitting beats. Even though it was new, the energy was instant — no doubt he’s an artist to watch.
