The Portland Oregon Hip-Hop Festival (POH-Hop) was 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 10 years, POH-Hop has featured some of the most talented local artists, as well as national stars like The Luniz, Spearhead, 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.
Now in its 10th year, POH-Hop is geared to be larger then ever.
