SXSW Presents: Huey P.

 Not many of us keep on the path we stepped foot on in middle school, but SeaTac’s Huey P. definitely did, and it’s worked out for him greatly so far. At such a young age he learned that hip-hop and rap can and should be used for the greater good, and that’s something Huey P. has always tried to do.

Since his debut album Did You Get the Message came out in 2016, Huey P. has been using his rhymes to try and spread positivity, particularly around those he interacts with in his neighborhood and the local music community. Although he was encouraged to leave the Pacific Northwest in pursuit of bigger cities like Los Angeles and New York because of his talents, his allegiance to his city and the people in it are real. "Having someone from the more urban culture in a positive manner, in the right light. It hasn’t been done yet,” he told Bellingham-based What’s Up Magazine

Huey P. devotion, and flair, aren’t going unnoticed.
