PORT ANGELES — Montana hip-hop artist Tyler “OverTime” Bugatti will headline a rap show Saturday.
The show will be at The Metta Room, 132 E. Front St.
Presale tickets are $6 and are available at The Metta Room and Turnip the Beet, also at 132 E. Front St.
Tickets will be sold at the door for $8.
Bugatti currently is traveling the country as part of The Foundation Tour in support of his new album, “The Foundation.”
This is his fifth national tour.
Rappers touring with Bugatti are Deidrick “Precise 1” Ibaceta of North Dakota and “JseLvs” of San Jose, Calif.
Area rappers also performing at the show will be L3FTY & STK (aka Sound the King), Lost Apostles, Shug Tha Don, Ryan Keith, Wicked Woog, Havok and Panik, with beats laid down by DJ O.B.1.
Bugatti, who hails from Missoula, Mont., said the lyrics for each song on his new album are written from the heart and reflect the blue-collar upbringing he experienced in his hometown — something he shares unhesitatingly with his audience.
‘I give . . . all of me’
“Every night when I’m on stage, I give the crowd all of me,” he posted on Facebook this week, “because it’s all I have. They deserve the world, no matter the price.”
Bugatti said he has sold thousands of albums throughout the years and gives credit to getting into the national spotlight with his breakout album, “In and Out of the Game.”
Since then, he has shared the stage with such notable rappers as T.I., Machine Gun Kelly, E-40, Andre Nickatina, Young Buck, C-Bo, Haystak, Diabolic, Mistah F.A.B., Afroman, Cool Nutz and Illmaculate.
Bugatti also is the president and CEO of Illest Alumni Records and manages his own music studio.
Bugatti said in coming years he aims to be a recognizable name throughout the world and to use that fame to influence people into positive thinking.
“I’ll never tell anyone how to live their life,” he said on his website.
“To me, that’s not my role. If I can be an example of doing better, good. That’s all I can do. That’s all any of us can do.”
