Daily News | Rising West Philly hip-hop promoters’ Dope Shows are celebrating their birthday with Lil Baby and Lil Durk
Jamir Shaw has ideas for headlines that could tell the story of Dope Shows, the Philadelphia hip-hop concert company he founded with his partner Stephen Piner five years ago
Piner, 40, and Shaw, 34, didn’t know each other growing up but became fast friends upon meeting in 2015, when Piner was working in real estate and Shaw was putting on hip-hop DJ nights at clubs around town while holding down a position as dean of students at Mastery Charter School’s Harrity Elementary in West Philly.
Five years later, Shaw and Piner, who have done shows in Boston, Washington, and Baltimore as well as Philly, will put on their biggest Dope Show yet, with the anniversary soiree at the Wells Fargo Center. “Philly is bubbling, but there’s no industry here,” says Piner. “We want to be that conduit to say, ‘This is what’s hot in Philly.’ ”
