JAM’N 107.5Tra’Renee Talks PDX Hip Hop Week 2025 on Almost The Weekend
This week on Almost The Weekend, Tra’Renee took us inside PDX Hip Hop Week — celebrating a whole decade of culture, community, and respect for the music that moves Portland.
Founded in 2015 by DJ OG One and the late Starchile, Hip Hop Week has become more than concerts — it’s about honoring legacy, creating space, and reminding Portland that hip hop is here to stay.
🎶 This year’s lineup is stacked:
Beyond the Beats documentary (Aug 20)
Skate-N-Shake roller party (Aug 20)
Hip Hop Bingo & Mixer (Aug 21)
Late Lyric Open Mic (Aug 21)

From skates to sneakers, mics to mixers, this week shows how hip hop keeps the city connected. Tra’Renee said it best: “Ten years of fostering community through hip hop with love and respect — that’s what this is all about.”
Portland, it’s time to celebrate YOU. Pull up, show love, and let’s make this 10th anniversary one for the books.
