Portland is rich with many things, particularly wealthy people. Though the city is becoming incredibly gentrified and the few diverse cultures we used to have are being steadily pushed out, the music and creative community is trying its hardest to hold on to its roots. Musically speaking, the city isn’t in any way wealthy with rappers, but Danielseventwo has firmly kicked his foot through the door.
At just 21 years old, Danielseventwo (aka 72) has been coming up in the rise of Soundcloud rappers, sticking to rhyming about what he knows about while others tend to use their bars for flexing on faux memories. His tracks swing between slower paced jams and quickly delivered flows, offering great variance by keeping listeners intrigued. He’s dropped two EPs and a number of popping singles, including one of his newest trap heavy bangers "Priceless." Hopefully we’ll be seeing more from him soon.
