THE SOUNDS FROM ROSE CITY
Portland hip-hop/rap carries the elements of traditional hip-hop/rap mixed with the relaxed vibes that come from the Pacific Northwest.
Coming from the Northeast, I gravitated towards the Portland hip-hop community just weeks after getting settled in Portland and was welcomed by the community with open arms. From there, I would continue to document many of the local hip-hop/rap shows in the city which eventually lead me to create this project.
This project helps to shine a light on the artist and DJs who have paved the way and put on for the city while also talking about the troubles that come with bringing a unique sound to a city like Portland.
