Mighty Nation back in the building (or better yet the dugout) with this fun new video for Bat Boy. Mighty provides the quick lyrics and clever delivery we’ve come to consistently expect, and a simple but effective video shoot brings the bouncy track to life. Local comedian Shrista Tyree blesses the break with comedic relief while Angelia

D.O.E. – All Day [Music Video]
Need a new weed song? We got you. Portland’s D.O.E. quietly dropped this gem in December and off word of mouth it’s starting to pick up steam. He and producer Bravodomo came through The THESIS last Thursday and shut it down with the live rendition. Dude’s got vocals for real. Check him out.

The THESIS LII – Vursatyl, Lisa Vasquez, Stevo The Weirdo
I have booked a lot of rappers, but it’s not every day I get to book a bonafide legend to headline The THESIS. Needless to say, I’m very excited to bring Vursatyl – of the legendary Lifesavas – out to our little humble rap sanctuary to mix it up with a couple of THESIS vets.

Brookfield Duece Hits The Mark With Upcoming Album “America’s Orphans”
Now this is what a studio album is supposed to sound like. Oakland’s Brookfield Duece is no stranger to Portland rap. For five-plus years, he’s been in the mix, finding his lane and directing traffic in a crowded creative scene. His upcoming offering, America’s Orphans, is unequivocally his best work to date. The conceptually heavy

Jahdi – Morse Code (Prod. by Bravodomo)
First of all, I’ve never heard a Bravodomo beat I didn’t like. That’s just facts. To boot, Jahdi has been hitting his own stride, becoming increasingly consistent with his flow and delivery, and this new single, Morse Code, really hits the mark. A crew banger with strip club vibes, gotta say I’m impressed!

DMarx – With You (Prod. by Pliv)
When he’s not plugging Green Hop and recording inspirational videos for the ‘gram, DMarx puts out music, and right now he’s got a project out with 16-year old producer PLIV which spawned a trippy video single that WOHM is proud to present. Never one to shy away from trying new things, DMarx leans hard into the

Fatal Lucciauno – Blame Fatal
Seattle legend Fatal Lucciauno dropped a dark gem last week; nothing to step to, this one’s for the bad guys. Fatal stepped in last minute and killed it in May at The THESIS in Seattle performing this very song, so I had to take the time and post the full track. And I have it on

Mic Capes – FRNZY (prod. by Drae Slapz)
Mic Capes knows the value of a solid album, but that doesn’t mean he won’t let the loosies fly. With Drae Slapz on the cybal- heavy beat, FRNZY features an inspired Mic on offense with no clear target – and no hook – for almost 3 minutes. Album fodder or not, the high energy single

The THESIS XLIV – Brookfield Duece, Raquel Divar, Swiggle Mandela, Andre Waymond
No lie, the Roman Numerals are getting tricky as we approach our 50th consecutive month of TheTHESIS, but what a problem to have right? As the summer winds down and the temps cool, we’ve got a veteran lineup of emcees ready to heat up the stage tonight at Kelly’s Olympian with new music and heavy

Bouquet of Bones – Sonic Truth/Flex Pistols
I can admit that I’ve been sleeping on Bouquet of Bones. The combo of Bloodmoney Perez and B!LLYWH?T delivers with funky production and true school flows, making tracks I didn’t know I needed. Just one of the various recent short releases from the pair, this is a great place to get your feet wet. Check
