Owner of Naptown Thrift, rapper, Indy native, and dear friend, Aaron Marshall (aka Double A) chopped it up with us on entrepreneurship, responding to adversity, and investing in our communities. While attending Butler University, Aaron started Naptown Thrift in 2015 selling thrifted vintage clothing out of a storage unit to his peers. Using his business to make new connections, Aaron was able to network and grow his rap career within the city. He performed at many of the city’s most notable venues and events including the HiFi and the Vogue as well as the Chreece and Virginia Avenue music festivals. Following graduation, he was able to open his first storefront for Naptown Thrift in the fall of 2018 while simultaneously winning IndyStar’s vote for best local hip hop artist.
