Drae Slapz and Mic Capes in the Lucky Barn on August 4—click to see more photos by Sam Gehrke from Pickathon 2017With this year's Pickathon literally right around the corner, we take one more look back at last year's festival when Dan Cable of the podcast Dan Cable Presents sat with Portland emcee Mic Capes to talk about making music as an independent artist, delivering a message, telling stories, and being a human in this world.
If you enjoyed the realness and lyricism that Capes brought to the mic at last year's fest when he rocked cuts from his 2016 opus Concrete Dreams, then you must not miss Rasheed Jamal at the 2018 festival. Friends and frequent collaborators as part of the local collective FRSH TRB, listen to them trade verses on "5 Finger Discount."
