Review and photos by David Zwickerhill

Thursday (2/3/11) night’s hip hop show at Port City Music Hall was not one to have missed. From a solid performance by the openers, local trio Educated Advocates, to the frenetic energy of California rapper Lyrics Born, it was a barn burner from end to end. Lyrics Born […]

Two of the best shows I’ve seen in a while here in Portland were hip-hop shows this week. Both were also sorely under attended. Granted, they happened mid-week, but that’s no excuse.
