Today marks 9 years of FUXWITHIT. It’s kind of crazy to even write that. When we started the site I never thought we’d come this far. We didn’t have a 5-year plan or grande outlook for the future, we just loved music and wanted a way to help share that love with the world. Over the years that love has expanded and evolved. We’ve built upon our foundation, launching a record label and apparel, throwing events, and doing more incredible shit than I can even think of listing off here.
9 years is a long time to do anything consistently. We’ve seen platforms, artists, labels, and genres explode and then fade away in that time. But we’re still here. The past 9 years have been beautiful, challenging, inspiring, exhausting, and incredible. I’ve been told blogs are dead. People don’t read anymore. Trap is dead. Tik-Tok is the future. Cornerstones of our platform may seem to erode with time but we evolve, endure, and stand behind what we believe in. We’ve never been about chasing trends or pushing what’s popular. We’re about showcasing the future and helping to push it forward. We are Champions Of The Underground. We put quality over clicks and plays. We really fucking care about music. In a way that’s irregular… and we’re proud of it. If you’re reading this you probably feel the same way, and we love you for it.
Thank you to every person who’s been a part of this journey. Thank you to our incredible writing team, you inspire me daily and are the backbone of our site. Thank you to every artist that’s worked with us in any capacity and to all the incredible industry people we’ve had the pleasure of connecting with. Thank you to all of our fans and supporters.
This seems like the obligatory part where I plug “big things coming this year,” so fuck it, we’ve got some incredible stuff on the horizon. Same great content on the site, new features, new guest mixes, new label releases, (hopefully) new merch, and who knows what else? Every year is a new chapter and this one is going to be fun.
If you love what we’re doing please keep reading our articles, share our content, repost our releases, and tell a friend. The smallest things can have more impact than you’d imagine, for us and anyone pushing a creative pursuit. Thank you for helping make my dreams come to life.
We’re still here.
