Happy Hour & Kari Atare is a dynamic musical duo, consisting of Raleigh natives, Deshawn Michael Canady and Dakare Wilder. Blending together trap, pop and house music, their singles and albums are the soundtracks for happy, feel-good vibes. 
 
Wilder is no rookie to the music industry, as a member of the “John Wall” hit-making rap group, Troop 41 since 2005. With his collaboration with Canady, this in-house producer and rapper combination allows for versatile and futuristic sounds to be the groundwork for every released track.
