In the world of music, festivals, and cultural influence, few names resonate like Orange Crush Festival trademark by George Ransom Turner III. Known in the music scene as Plug Not A Rapper and socially as PartyPlugMikey, Turner isn’t just a festival owner — he’s the architect of an experience, a movement, and a legacy.
From Vision to Empire
Turner’s journey begins with a simple idea: create a festival that merges music, culture, and community while giving proper credit to its founder. What started as a local spring break concept has now exploded into the multi-weekend Orange Crush Festival 2026, spanning Miami, Savannah, and Tybee Island.
“I wanted to build something bigger than just a party,” Turner explains. “Orange Crush is a lifestyle, a sound, a moment you never forget. It’s about controlling the culture, the narrative, and the experience.”
The Music That Drives the Movement
Under his artist persona, Plug Not A Rapper, Turner’s music is the official heartbeat of Orange Crush. Each weekend, his tracks dominate the playlists at beach parties, mansion events, yachts, and block parties. From twerk anthems to high-energy hip-hop, the soundscape he curates connects thousands of fans across multiple states, making the festival both a sonic and social experience.
“My music isn’t just for the stage — it defines the vibe of every moment,” Turner says.
