"Not Enough Unity in the Northwest?"

[Darxiide]

Currently, the Northwest maintains a self-perpetuating underground hip-hop movement, a culture that is maintained almost entirely by word of mouth, local interest, and internet exposure. - Wikipedia.org

...Three questions. Is there even enough people that we should be worried exclusively about our own city limits? Is there enough collaboration/networking between area codes (206, 503, 425, 253, 509, etc...) in your opinion? Would our music scene be more stable if we all started calling ourselves "northwest artists" instead of Portland rapper, Seattle rapper, etc;.?

Im sure everybody does but we are still northwest artist... But as long as you getting your money and sticking to your hustle,good things should come. I wouldn't even worry about getting put in a box. That should be the last thing on any artist on the ups mind. Get that money,do shows,and stay hustling

I agree with you on that. And from the looks of our show at Club Broadway last Monday, there are fans for our music. Oh! And you rocked that muthaphuka, Homie!
