eso.XO.supreme is known for making addictive, R&B/pop/hip hop jams. One of my most played songs of last summer was from the Portland artist himself, and his latest, Body Talk, will get just as many plays. Super Staar Beats and Whoswyler who have produced for some of the most prolific hip hop artists (whether seasoned or veteran),Continue reading “eso.XO.supreme Has Another Hit On His Hands With New Trap/Pop Hybrid ‘Body Talk’”
I was introduced to Portland artist 3AM in August of last year through his music video to Hot Shit, a mosh pit worthy record. The energetic, trap fused song sincerely impressed me and I immediately hoped a full length would drop soon. Luckily for me, it has arrived in the form of the Misunderstood EP. EachContinue reading “Rising Portland Star 3AM Drops Impressive EP, ‘Misunderstood’”
Shallow Al is my new favorite underground rapper. The spooky alter-ego of Portland artist Al-One the Remedy is the star of this Halloween themed project released on October 30th. It’s only fitting that this project comes out the night before Halloween, commonly known in my neighborhood as Mischief Night; as Al-One is here forContinue reading “Portland Legend Al-One The Remedy Keeps The Spooky Season Going With New Project ‘Shallow Aloween’”
What’s better than some grimy, ignorant, trap shit on an early Sunday morning?

The rising Portland artist is known for his airy, synth-filled vocals, but he is at his best when he breaksContinue reading “Rising Portland Artist 3AM Drops Mosh Pit Worthy Visual To ‘Hot Shit’”

Stevo continues to show us how much he has matured after years of recording and performing. In the last few monthsContinue reading “Introducing Rising Portland Star Stevo The Weirdo”
Creativity. The word has lost all meaning for me in the last two years – at least within the hip hop stratosphere. But when I see glimpses of it I do all I can to spread the word. A perfect example comes from Sour Deez, a well-established Portland MC who has opened for the likesContinue reading “Portland Artist Sour Deez Goes Extraterrestrial In Visual To ‘UFO’”
Cool Nutz is the best rapper name I’ve heard in awhile. Props. Luckily, he’s also a dope MC who has bars for days. Just peep his Troutdale visual, an ode to jealousy and envy. Nutz is shown ironically browsing at a dope streetwear store while rhyming about individuals who cop expensive clothes and still feel emptyContinue reading “Cool Nutz Drops Visual To His Ode To Envy and Greed – ‘Troutdale’”
I’ve been on an R&B tip in the last few weeks. Perhaps it’s because I’m obsessed with 6lack’s new album East Atlanta Love Letter, or the fact that I still can’t get over The Weeknd’s early mixtapes. Regardless, I don’t have to search far and wide to hear music of this caliber – thanks toContinue reading “Progressive Vocalist Free5ive Drops His Best Offering Yet in ‘Do U Bad’”
We’ve talked about Al-One The Remedy extensively over here at flowsfordays. He’s one of Portland’s most talented MC’s and has been in the game for over 13 years.

Back 2 The NorthwestContinue reading “Al-One The Remedy Drops Homegrown Project “Back 2 The Northwest””
