Host David Oyuke sits down with 8 of the second cohort of new and emerging artists for The Launchpad 2025. In this episode, we get to know Joey Aich.

Joey Aich, pronounced H, is a full-time independent hip-hop artist based in Columbus, OH. The Woodmere Village, OH-born emcee is known for his electric stage performances and personal charm.

We discuss his recent recognition by Columbus Underground's reader as the #1 musician in Columbus, the conflict of coming from a suburban background in hip hop’s narrative as well as a sense of responsibility in his lyrics and performances to inspire and further push Columbus hip hop.
