THE WOLFE
Midwest rapper Danté Wolfe was known as the MC in the back of the class with something to prove. Years before the St. Louis born and raised MC made his solo debut, he started as a part of local group, MME. Performing alongside Mvstermind, RA Child, Con, Lyrique and Ciej the collective released several singles and music videos earning them serious acclaim in their budding music scene. Together they executed two independent tours clocking over 20,000 miles as well as performing at festivals such as A3C, SXSW, and Brooklyn’s MCA Day. This was the
steel upon which Wolfe began to sharpen his blade, as the collective also opened up for artists such as Travis Scott,
Chance the Rapper and Curren$y.

TOURING FOR 20K MILES INDEPENDENTLY
As a collective MME was always renowned for their sonic masterpieces and crisp visuals. But it was when the group took matters into their own hands and began planning for their first tour that they became a whole new DIY powerhouse.
The experience from touring was priceless as it taught the collective why its called show "business". The group created a roadmap of cities, contacted venues, and set up travel arrangements. They also used their newly released merchandise to help fund their travels. Along with social media to effectively promote and raise funds to extend the tour.
Notable Acts the group has performed with include:
