Oso Negro Hip-Hop (Oregon) – A recovering scientist, Oso Negro dedicates the present to hip-hop. He embraces the timeless power of lyrical consciousness and hunger for life. A twist of reggae, a splash of crooning and the ever-present spirit of live music feed this hungry bear’s desire to mix it up, keep it fun and stimulating. Since moving west from Mississippi, Oso has been gigging across the western US over the last 4 years, rocking tours and festivals. In 2014, he dropped the Unkie O LP, which was included in Radio Boise’s Krush Groove 208’s top 10 list of the year’s releases.
