About Me

Alright.... I had to delete the 3rd person bio. It wasn't doing it for me.I'm Porter. I have a passion for hip hop. I have been listening to it for as long as I can remember. I have had the blessing of seeing some great acts and some great shows and have been fortunate enough to hear some of the greatest MC's and DJ's in the world.I haven't always been recording but probably started a few years back when the real music started going underground. I seriously rekindled my passion for hiphop when I moved back to Canada from Japan where I was living and working. Lots of love to the J-Scene. I figured if no one is making music I like, I need to make music I like. I'm not in this to make millions of dollars and to get the girls and the Giovanni rims, I do it cause I love it.I have a major hate on most of the music I hear out there these days. Ice Cube was on point "Turn off the radio take a listen what you missin".ATTENTION SPITKICKERS: If you wanna reach out for a collab I am down... As long as it's not some "Do the hokey pokey" "put your left foot out" "lean with it rock with it" "peanut butter an jelly" type track, I am down. Send me what you were thinking or a couple bars or something and let's get some music rollin out the doors...ATTENTION BEAT BUMPERS: I am ALWAYS looking for some souful beats to get the cranks in my cranium turning. If you have some lonely beats looking for some lyrics, let me know...Respect to those putting real music out there.BIGG BIGG RESPECT TO THE DJ's, BREAKERS AND GRAFFERS OUT THERE... Keep doing it... Y'all don't get the spotlight like you should... You are GREATLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATEDPiece
