The Show

prismACTIVISM is about cultural dialog, and about many forms sharing the same conversation. The following musical artists have been an inspiration to me in many ways, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share space with them for this show.

Gepetto


Gepetto as and emcee/producer is a hip hop craftsman. His lyrical, personal stories set in the modern malaise speak volumes about the new lost generation. His beats are hard hitting and funky, and keep the vibe live for as long as they play. Learn more about gepetto at gepettomusic.blogspot.com.
Gepetto, Hypocrite by Taxidermy Records


Daps

Daps is an emcee who sees the potential in the stars from his spot on the block he grew up at. Born and raised just a little further out than most transplants dare to go, he is the honest voice of East Portland. Poetic and lyrical, pulling his inspiration from the downtrodden lifestyles he sees around him, and always reaching to uplift, his songs are powerful odes to self-preservation, development and hope.
