But...

PDX Crew is the original. That means:
Open Mike, Antimatter, Psalm One, and Rift Napalm... oh, yeah... also: Alpha, Sonar, Spank, and Fuse... did I forget anyone? ...ha.

D.Steele is the main DJ/Producer/Soul Selector

Animate Objects is the newest and most powerful musical force thus far

SeeMore Perspective is one of the lyrical brethren and producer extraordinaire
Can't forget Insight and King MC

Itchy muh-f....kin' fingers (Itch13), Two-1, and Beto are the Playcousins (we spin the dust off some records... don't hurt yourself.)

...and RED LINE CONNEXION is still up to something, so keep your ears open

Oh yeah...
FREESCHOOL is the new school for the true school...
SuperHeroes of Sound is our monthly field trip... wanna join us?
Influences: Allah, subhana-wa-ta-allah,

All of the individuals mentioned above,

The Black Arts Movements of: The Mississippi and N’Orleans Blues movements, The Harlem Renaissance, the Bronzeville jazz movement in Chicago, the Jazzoetry movement of the ’60’s, funk, disco, house, and the Hip-Hop movement, of which I am a direct descendant.

Activists and artists whom I encounter on a regular basis in my work in the Chicago social sector, many of whom I call my friends and colleagues.

D. Steele, cuz without HHBAM, weekends, and wake-up calls, who knows how long it would have taken me to complete an album

...and thanks to headphones, and sitting in the zone on the train ride home...
Sounds Like: None other.
