The crew at Ante Up has always aimed to throw parties that showcase the best that Portland has to offer on the decks.  For the past two years, DJ Nature, Ronin Roc, & Doc Adam have been holding down the turntables together twice a month and we have had the good fortune of having seemingly endless support from the city of Portland and especially from its hip-hop scene.  This Saturday, February 4th, at The Crown Room – we celebrate the 2-Year Anniversary of RAW at The Crown Room.  To that end, we have accumulated a number of tracks together from a selection of artists from our fair city that we feel deserve your attention – this is our attempt to give back as Portland has given us so much support.

Obviously there are omissions – and we hope that in the future when we present more projects of this nature we will have an opportunity to showcase music from even more artists in the city.   That being said:  Ante Up Presents – This Is Portland. Vol. 2.

This nearly hour long mixtape features tracks – many presently unreleased – from Cassow, Trox, Calvin Valentine/G_Force, Epp, Illaj, Illmaculate, Luck One, Only One, Libretto, Rev Shines, Reva Devito, Stewart Villain, Risky Star, TxE, and Theory Hazit.  The vibe transitions from soulful to rugged to R&B and back again over the course of the project, showcasing the breadth and depth of this selection of artists from Portland.  If you’re already a fan of Portland hip-hop, you’ll know that we have plenty of talent to go around – but if this is your first exposure, hopefully you’ll be as excited by these artists as we are.
