We create beyond the belief of limits that were set forth by societal standards and its expectations. We act as a vessel for artists to manifest their own wave of artistic & and transformative expression that doesn’t always fit a traditional mold or repetition. Our goal is to reshape the narrative of Chicago’s reputation as the “city of no love,” replacing it with stories of unity and support for genuine artists creating positive change. We’re the unspoken. We’re the unseen. But not for long. [Unsocial Aesthetics]


Unsocial Aesthetics was born from the ashes of The Lyrical Lab, an entity attached to True Star Magazine over ten years ago. The goal then was to uplift the creative community of Chicago showcasing innovators that don’t always get the reception they need. The goal now has not changed as we are focusing on shedding light on stories that truly explain the origins of Blk Chicago.
