Press Play On TOPE's New Self-Produced Single "Again & Again" | @itsTOPE

Portland Producer and Rapper TOPE, born Anthony Anderson, has been known in some circles as one of Underground Hip Hop's best-kept secrets for some time now. As an up and coming artist, TOPE was best known for his prolific output as a solo rapper and also founding member of the groups Living Proof and TxE. In early 2014 things started to move for TOPE with cosigns from Cody Chestnutt for his instrumental work and love from the Queen, Erykah Badu herself, for his Take Your Time music video. The release of TOPE's album BROKEBOYSYNDROME marked cosigns from XXL, 2Dopeboyz, The Source and many more. The sky seemed to be the limit for TOPE as he packed up his bags and moved to California landing in Oakland and eventually moving to LA, then back to Oakland. A 28-city tour followed with TOPE leaking singles here and there to go along with show dates and tours. As time started to tick away the Portland music scene continued to grow and TOPE's career in California seem to have hit a wall. Still managing to land production credits for Slum Village, Gift Of Gab of Blackalicious, and Skyzoo - TOPE's solo music had all but disappeared. Citing depression, a lack of motivation and more TOPE took some time away from releasing music to learn piano, bass guitar, and change his sound completely. With a new album complete and more production credits starting to seep out, it appears TOPE might have reignited the fire he once had for music.

New Album: @ThatsBlawesome & @H0T16 - TEASE (Album) | @theliquidbeat

​

From Portland’s burgeoning music scene comes a creative statement in the form of “Tease”, the full-length collaborative album by singer-songwriter Blossom and producer HOT16.

Meticulously thought out in every detail, “Tease” shows the work of two sophisticated artists making their mark with an expertly written, performed, and produced LP that will undoubtedly find its way into your home and heart.

What started as a single guest feature quickly transformed into a full 8-song joint venture when it became instantly clear that the two artists brought out the best in each other. Blossom’s poetic lyrics and emotive tones meld effortlessly around HOT16’s unique production.

Strong, black, and imbued with magic, Blossom shows depth & feeling in every note while HOT16’s soulful tracks work as the perfect backdrops for her beautiful odes to identity, empowerment, love, and its accompanying heartache.

With a multitude of styles reflected on the album, each song can rightfully stand on its own. However, “Tease” is best understood within the context of the whole, as genres are allowed to meld together and a larger narrative unfolds. Take note, as the album is both a sonic world unto itself, as well as only a Tease of what’s to come.
