Pass The Aux found a second home in OKC.

Something Dope came to Oklahoma City in November 2023 and sold out the first night at Castle Row Studios within a week, presented with The OAKA. The January 2024 return sold out Pass The Aux, where Aaron Sawyer faced Maiwand in a live rap battle that went three rounds and ended in a tie, setting up a rematch that fall. The clip that marketed the matchup, pulled from one of Aaron's past battles, became the most watched post in Something Dope account history.

The OAKA co presents Something Dope in Oklahoma City. In 2026 the King of the Aux competition arrived: Chloee Hart was crowned Queen of the Aux in April over a field of more than 30 artists, and Jiondae took the OKC crown in July after 26 artists went song for song, with a prize package boosted by Criterion OKC.
