Project notice was issued in December 2008 to the entire Columbia Basin, directed at contemporaries apparently active in their chosen arts. Intended to spring-board participants based on their level of involvement and contribution, turnout reflected more fresh faces than the well established hip-hop artists of Eastern Washington.

Diversity of Tri-Cities area rap is difficult to compare to. While it was often denegrated in the past for imitation of nostolgic west-coast sounds, the active artists of this decade are well versed and experiment across a variety of region-based sounds. Though current pop radio is filled with mindless rap dribble, Tri-Cities Hip-Hop is home to stalwart lyricists and wordsmiths accompanied by worthy soundtrack providing producers.

No longer limited by how far they can travel to perform or distribute music, local artists of any demographic or location have countless venues to expand exposure. Hungry and decisive, the Tri-Cities rap blend is just what the northwest needs to establish uniquity.
