Anyone got some links to some Portland cuts from the 90s? I used to have a couple rare tapes saved on YouTube from some channels that are no longer available or active and can’t remember any of the artists. There weren’t many but I definitely remember having some saved. I fw a lot of the underground shit from Seattle and especially Tacoma from the early/mid 90s just wondering if anyone’s got some rare Portland cuts💯
Thraxxhouse is an old seattle rap group back in 2014 they were releasing hella merch just curious if anyone got any and if they are willing to sell
They blocking ways to the wealth, everyday that top shelf is raised just a bit, what was in reach then, is just out.

For this album I used the method of freestyling off the dome and pressing stop every 8 bars or so. Like 2pac said, there's something raw about the first take and reading verses can sound forced.
Get me in my mode an I can go off-the-top freestyle for hours. Sometimes I incorporate my burps, stutters, sneezes into the flow.
Hope you enjoy or get something outta this one as it's from a personal place in a time of cutting out toxic family for the sake of my son and his mom.
My story is not the typical, as I grew up a bush-kid, with a possible psychopath as a sibling. I grew up hearing all the best 90s hip hop and when I began to blossom, my drawings turned to words which turned to songs, and them became my therapy.
As I came into city lifestyles in my teens, trouble followed - cops, fights, girls were my world until I delved back into the music and found meaning beyond my own.
Years later I became a father and found my true self, this album is a testament to that.
Peace, Love, Praises
