Oldominion

Emerging from the gray skies and emerald pines of The Pacific Northwest comes Oldominion. The next phase of groundbreaking music from the cities of Seattle and Portland, Oregon. These are the pioneers of what will inevitably be recognized in hip-hop circles as The Northwest Sound. With musical influences running the gamut from Nirvana, Axelrod, and The Doors, to Pharoahe Monch and Company Flow. This sovereign artistic collective has been creating unique hip-hop songs that are both innovative and accessible, without ever having to go outside their crew for production, vocal talent or artwork. This is a plug & play quality hip-hop assembly line.
