Braille (Bryan Winchester) of the celebrated group Beautiful Eulogy, Oracle (Doug Gaither) of Concrete Evangelists, and many local underground legends will share their rhymes from the White Eagle stage to inspire and re-spark the Portland Christian Hip-Hop scene.

They will be joined by DJ and rapper Prodigal (Ticole Waller, also of Concrete Evangelists), the group Lyfted including B. Angelique (Banette Littleton) and Phillip Johnson, Jr, featuring Shaun Lamott (Duoshun Pledgure) with Walt Dean on drums and Mike Dean on keys, DJ and rapper G*Natural (Jelani Greenidge) with J-Mac (Jamaar McKelvey), Speedygunz (Jonathan Stephens), Jeremee Tyler, Meech Rhodes (Demetrius Rhodes), and spoken word poet Izzy Is Real (Israel Hammond).

This concert is put on by Elation Music and sponsored by Champions Barbering Institute, Corban University, St. Andrew Nativity School, Bryan Atkinson Real Estate, and Eastside Imago Dei Community.
