Raleigh has hip-hop history, but the scene has grown and matured into a sophisticated culture. Hip Hop imagery can be found in art downtown at every first Friday both in the galleries and at the commercial hub of hip-hop culture in Raleigh- FM Goods. M1 Platoon and Kooley High are offering thick sample based loops that are east coast but also Raleigh.
Tonight Kooley High celebrates the release of their Summer Sessions EP and M1 Platoon celebrates the release of their Invasion Mixtape- a disc filled with beats from 9th Wonder, Arafat and other local producers.
