Cover Photo by Robert Schmeltzer. The first time I cried in a coffee shop, Marcus McCauley made me do it. I was listening to his latest album, No One Cares, intrigued by the fact that he wrote and produced the entire thing.

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.

Stevo The Weirdo – Whateva [Official Music Video]
One of my favorite Portland rappers, Stevo The Weirdo, dropped a chill single with a dope video earlier this month in Whateva. A couple amigos (what’s up, Garry!) some free PBR and Black Mannequin gear are all Stevo needs for a fun afternoon on the town. While doing the most is commonplace in rap vids
