Omaha’s Conchance on the trials and travails of indie hip-hop


Omaha indie rapper Conchance (born Brenton Walstrom Gomez) has made quite a few trips to Lawrence, slowly but surely building a following down in the 785. A Conchance joint glides along like a bike ride on a sunny day, but corners, bobs and weaves with alert attention to detail. He’s back in Larryville this Saturday, January 21, at the Jackpot as part of Jockin’ My Fresh 3, a co-production from oh!mr., Team Bear Club and KJHK. Joining Conchance on the bill are Ebony Tusks, Greg Enemy and Strider, among others. The rapper recently took some time out of his busy schedule to chat with us about the state of hip-hop, as well as the fate of his long-awaited LP, Calm Kids.
