Things have changed now as artists can truly be 100% independent in recording, mixing, promoting and selling their music. But is that enough?

We were able to tell our stories of starting in this genre, what drives us, how we put together our shows and thoughts on why and how you can get started on doing a podcast of your own.

We spoke with members of the Portland hip-hop community including Vursatyl, Rasheed Jamal, Mic Capes, DJ O.G. One & Karma Rivera about build networks, growing careers and more.
