What’s wavy in the Portland hip-hop scene right now? Short answer: a lot. Let’s talk about it!
Myke Bogan, Cult Beauty
I got some great news this weekend that our beloved Portland import, Myke Bogan, is dropping a new 14-track album on October 18. Cult Beauty is the title of the rapper’s third full-length, and to whet our whistles, the rapper’s released one eye-popping visual for two very different songs in “Jolly” and “No Peace.” Bogan also announced a tour, but strangely, I don’t see a tour date for Portland….
Wynne, “The Thesis”and “Handle iT”
Lake O’s standout rapper Wynne has been dropping drip for the last month or so. Between her two new singles “The Thesis” (featuring Dame D.O.L.L.A., Vursatyl, KayelaJ, and Illmac) and “Handle iT,” the young MC has been tallying hundreds of thousands of plays and views. So when her debut mixtape If I May.. drops on October 25, expect the city to explode with pride.
