AUSAR

I NOW KNOW.

Ausar was born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, a community that’s gilded in authenticity and creative expression. Being wrought from that same cloth, he is driven by the countless number of artists who’ve cemented their music throughout the city. He makes it a point to focus on craftsmanship and storytelling — the elements that form the core of his bouncing melodies and inspirational lyricism. But simply put, Ausar just wants to change lives with his music.

 

TRYNA CHANGE LIVES

Ausar is a rapper and singer from Chicago’s South Side, with a 35 inch vertical on the court. He fell in love with music at a young age, initially gaining inspiration from the gospel. 

As a 🍋 Sprite™ Way artist — with cosigns from Lupe Fiasco, 9th Wonder, Rakim, and a premiere on Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow — Ausar has performed and worked alongside Wyclef Jean, MFnMelo of Pivot Gang, NF BroLeeLove, Smino, and Fat Tony of VICE LIVE TV. 

That said, Ausar's just trying to change lives with his music — and, of course, dunk on your favorite rapper.
