Hailing out of Washington State Home of Legal Buds, Rainy Skies, and Liberal Coffee Shops; From a Seldom if ever spoken about corner of the United States map comes a very gifted vocalist, producer, and song writer. His songs are deep yet comical. From a perspective of light hearted realism with a touch of some sort of acceptance Pops Jr. is here to show us Hip Hop can be more than just being lit and oblivious of the issues today we need to explore.

Creatively Pops Jr. has a sound reminiscent of the song structure given to us in the G funk era over modern production. It tends to leave space for us to get lit while taking in a lesson. Hip Hop yet again has approached a cross road and it appears Pops Jr is right at the fork directing traffic.

All roads leading to the tiny corner of the Map in Northwest USA. Upon inspection of the upcoming visual “Wash State” You get the exact run down of the rainy days we all hear about and clear glimpse into the underworld of the environment like never seen before.

With a Solid Indy label backing him in O.M.G Entertainment, inc. it is clear that we will be seeing plenty more from this solid entertainer.

This will be a much needed addition to the game.
