Portland is chalk full of hip-hop talent. Like so much so, it’s quite ridiculous when you consider the size of the small city. Donte Thomas, while only 22 years old, is a name that’s been on our radar for a few years. His newest effort is the Garden Boys EP with Bocha.
The project draws a heavy inspiration from cannabis. From the cover to the title, these guys even named each track after a flower. Stewart Villain lends a few slaps and the Garden Boys each produce a record themselves. A mix of spaced out weed vibes and soul music. Thomas and Bocha lock in a closed creative space to create organic hip-hop.
Take a listen below, stop sleeping on Portland.
