The Portland Oregon Hip-Hop Festival (POH-Hop) was a monumental and historic event from the time of it’s creation in 1995. David Parks, Steven Spyryt, and Terrance Scott had a vision to create an event that gave local hip-hop artists an outlet to expose their art to the masses.



With the support of the community and some of the cities music industry luminaries, POH-Hop exploded on the scene, and was successful even beyond the expectations of its creators and supporters. Over the past 12 years, POH-Hop has featured some of the most talented local artists, as well as national stars like E-40, The Luniz, Spearhead, Zion I, The Jacka, Mistah FAB, One Be Lo, Mac Dre, Ras Kass, Andre Nickatina, and more.



Not only has POH-Hop benefited local artists in the form of exposure, POH-Hop has also raised and donated funds to The Black Education Center and KBOO Community Radio. Now in its 12th year, POH-Hop is geared to be larger then ever
