Hip Hop in Portland
New documentary
examines history
and social impact
The community is invited to
join film director Michael T. Ag-
new and the Oregon Historical
Society for a world premiere of
his original film “Lifting As We
Climb,” a hip hop documentary
that examines the history and so-
cial impact of Portland hip hop
through archival footage and com-
mentary from the industry’s lead-
ing emcees, dee jays, producers,
and executives.
Just like New York, Philadel-
phia, DC, and Atlanta, Portland
has evolved with hip hop music.
Covering different periods of
Portland’s hip hop scene, this
documentary will take viewers to
where some believe it all began.
Topics include the early days,
KBOO, record stores, and the PO
Hop festival, as well as discus-
sions about the music industry as a
whole and how many individuals
contributed in branding Portland
hip hop.
Violence in clubs and venues
has provided challenges for local
shows, threatening the income for
many in the Portland hip hop in-
dustry. The documentary delves
into whether Portland hip hop will
survive this violence and what can
be done to help relations between
local hip hop communities and po-
lice agencies.
Nationally
renowned
DJ
“Chillest Illest” provides the nar-
ration for the film. Director Ag-
new will join special guests Cool
