  • PDX Hip Hop (And more) at its Finest!

    A bangin’ podcast. As a Portland resident for 17+ years and a hip hop-hop junkie for waaaaay longer, I’ve witnessed the ups and downs of said genre in this city. DJ Klyph is one of the few hip-hop curators in the 503 still dedicated to the craft. I’ve been hyped to hear some dope in-depth interviews with some of my favorite PDX players in the game and always stoked to build my knowledge more. Much love.
