There’s no slowing down The Thesis, Portland’s long-standing hip-hop and soul series showcasing talented local artists (and beyond) at Kelly’s Olympian. In addition to the headliner, local stalwart rapper Karma Rivera and Portland-to-San Antonio producer Trox, another big highlight on this month’s bill is Dreemy Alpha, a nostalgic hip-hop artist whom T-Pain has even co-signed. He’ll no doubt be performing tracks from his latest project, ReLOADN. Genre-fluid pop singer Alana Rich will open up the show, and afterward, DJ Verbz will spin some locally-minded cuts on the ones and twos.
