The Pillars is more than a concert — it’s a tribute to the foundation, legacy, and future of Frederick’s hip-hop community. Curated by One City, One Sound, this event brings together the artists who’ve help built the scene and the new wave who are carrying it forward. It's a living archive of bars, beats, and the city’s unshakable voice — and you won’t want to miss your chance to witness it live.
