Animal Farm at PDX-POP ‘09

The Sound Quality is horrible but that was a tight show for sure. PDX POP is an alright Portland Music Festival but its not as good as POH Hop when it comes to hip hop. PDX Hip Hop is all about good underground rap and alternative hip hop with a little bit of West Coast swagger thrown in. PDX POP is mostly all about pop music. Which in my book is pretty lame.

PDX Break Dance

Portland Break Dancers busting out in the streets of Portland, Oregon. PDX Hip Hop break dancers are some of the best on the west coast. The saturation of b-boys and b-girls at PSU is the main reason for it. There are a lot of people that either go to PSU or at least attend their break dancing events and they make up most of the local break dance scene.

Top Ten Underground Rap Songs

I don’t necessarily agree with all the songs on this video. But someone apparently does. They got a lot of views on Youtube, so without further ado… for the fans.

Jake One “HOME” Music Video

Another great track from the hit Seattle producer, Jake One aka “Jake Uno”.

Director/DP/Editor: Zia Mohajerjasbi
Produced By: Justin Pinder, Zia Mohajerjasbi, Sam Toloui, Steve Failows

From Jake One:

“Finally, I’m happy to present the video to my tribute to Seattle, “Home”. The song features MC’s Vitamin D, Note, Maneak B and Ish, who have all been big influences in my music. Sir Mix a Lot brought out his orange Lambo and Nate Burleson repped the town and the Seahawks as well. Super Director Zia did a phemomenal job creating the perfect visual for the music and now its time for the world to see it.”

Cool Nutz POH Hop Mission Statement

The Portland Oregon Hip-Hop Festival (POH-Hop) has been a monumental and historic event from the time of it’s creation in 1995. David Parks, Steven Spyryt, and Terrance Scott had a vision to create an event that gave local hip-hop artists an outlet to expose their art to the masses.

With the support of the community and some of the cities music industry luminaries, POH-Hop exploded on the scene, and was successful even beyond the expectations of its creators and supporters. Over the past 11 years, POH-Hop has featured some of the most talented local artists, as well as national stars like The Luniz, Spearhead, Mistah FAB, One Be Lo, Mac Dre, Ras Kass, Andre Nickatina, and more.

Not only has POH-Hop benefited local artists in the form of exposure, POH-Hop has also raised and donated funds to The Black Education Center and KBOO Community Radio.

Past sponsors have included: KXJM Jammin 107.5, Vtech Phones, Adidas, 1480 KBMS Radio, Freq Mastering, Phoenix Media, Liquid Assets Jewelers, Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes, Upheaval Designs, SuperHappyWax.com, In Da Mix Records, SPUN Academy, KBOO Radio, Willamette Week, The Portland Mercury, and The Oregonian

“Hands On” from The Stimulus Package album

Freeway & Jake One

Jake One

Seattle super producer and self proclaimed “great beat writer” Jake One steps from behind the boards to present his own debut full-length album, White Van Music. Polishing his production chops over the last decade, Jake One has crafted the musical soundscapes for everyone from De La Soul(“Rock Co.Kane Flow” feat. MF DOOM) to 50 Cent (“All Of Me” feat. Mary J. Blige). With an impressive and diverse discography Jake One has managed to bring his sound from the underground to the Billboard Top 10 charts.

Featuring an engaging cast of emerging underground artists as well as some of Hip Hop’s most respected mainstream acts, Jake One’s White Van Music will blur the so called lines between underground and mainstream Hip Hop… just as his stellar production career has.
About Jake One

Jacob Dutton, better known as Jake One, is an American hip hop record producer from Seattle, Washington.

Dutton grew up in Capitol Hill and moved to the North End of Seattle when he was 15. He started making music on a Casio keyboard in 1992. He attended the University of Washington and gave a tape of his music to a friend who worked in a local record store. One of the store’s other employees, the DJ Mr. Supreme heard the tape, and when he set up his Conception Records label, he used Dutton to create backing tracks.[2] The first record he produced was Eclipse’s “World Premier”. His early influences included Pete Rock, DJ Premier, and Marley Marl.

He was a part of the G-Unit production team, The Money Management Group. He is now under Dr. Dre’s production team as of late 2008.

His first album credited to Jake One, White Van Music, was release on October 7, 2008 on Rhymesayers Entertainment, which features contributions from Brother Ali, Young Buck, De La Soul, M.O.P., Freeway, MF DOOM, Slug, and Keak Da Sneak.

He has had tracks included on the soundtracks to films such as Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (50 Cent’s “I Don’t Know Officer”), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (“Jake Alert”), and Gone Baby Gone.

Blue Scholars on Piece Of Shep

In my constant quest for new hip hop music I’ve seen one name come across my screen several times: Blue Scholars. Even though I’ve seen them mentioned by various underground hip hop fanboys, I’ve never given them a shot. I don’t exactly know why. Perhaps they were even on my todo list, I’m not sure. One of the members even appeared on CunninLynguists’ latest album, Strange Journey Vol. 2. The past few days I’ve decided to give them a listen and I have to say, I love what I hear. If you are as unfamiliar with the group as I was, let me give you a brief introduction.
