Announcing: LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE Music Event!! - ELAmental Crafted Event-Art Design!
Although I frequently perform a decent amount of shows, it has been quite some time since I have taken the lead on organizing one. Technically I threw one in 2018 for my Record Release Party, and was asked to lead organizing one of Alais Clay's shows on her Constellations Tour, but the last bigger event I threw was Family Reunion Festival back on the east coast of the U.S. in Virginia (bands, Djs... we had it all there).
This year I have been feeling the energetic push to throw another slammer again. This came about by realizing there are certain spots in DJs sets engaging in specific subgenres of EDM that melds with the Hip Hop realm in a manor that is suitable for Emcee vocals to go on... so I decided I wanted to throw a show combining some the best of Portland's REAL underground Hip Hop & EDM. This began with an attempt to interface with the Tabor Dance organizers for a summer solstice show, which did not end up aligning. Instead we crafted a new song with 6 emcees from our Kin of Merlin Krew and published it in 24 hours on the Solstice... and called it "Soulstice").
After experiencing consistent appreciation from the Rainbow City venue and it's community, I ended up landing there for a November show instead... where I aim to turn Rainbow City into "Rainbow Rainforest"... come see for yourself.
Event Art Crafted by: @ELAmental...and yes the event name and design is inspired by the 90's Kid's gameshow haha. The talking head in the forefront of the design is known as "Olmec" in the show, which is actually based on real stone carvings known commonly as "Olmec heads", which are 'a distinctive feature of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica' (source).
My hope is that Legends will turn into a bi-yearly show series, and interface the DJ-Emcee collab idea more on the next installment. Below is the official event description & promo I wrote. Be on the lookout for the individual artist promo Bio and stylized photo designs I am releasing day by day as the event draws near. I am also open for contracting to write artist bios if anyone needs a professional third party writer with education, insight, and skill... remember, one of the things ELA stands for in ELAmental is: "English Language Arts".

Rainbow Rainforest sounds fire.
Wish I was in the area. One day.
Big love xxxxxx
We wish that too! Come thru when your ready. Great to hear form you Fam! Thank you for checkin in!
It would be REAL Hip Hop if I was on the lineup~
But you ditched me. After I gave you my fucking soul.
That first statement is not Hip Hop in itself, quite conceded actually. Also you never responded with confirmation to perform the event (the other artists did), and you have quite publicly removed yourself from all Kin of Merlin association - this is a Kin of Merlin event. You also deleted the "Free Chat" section of the Kin of Merlin discord server without consent form the Krew in a feeble attempt to cover the fact that you were disrespectful with a close friend (a VERY well liked member of this Hive community I might add) who has done nothing but help us.
The second comment is not only baseless, but extremely inappropriate - I am 100% allowed to say no to engaging with and take space from someone who brings toxic energy in my life... especially after so many uncomfortable attempts for a solution where some sort of relationship remains. Enough is enough, and I do not consent to engage on this matter further.
You know you dissed me hella hard ElAmental and have been fully shunning me ever since. It's wack. Like. WTF
Real Hip Hop doesn't exclude their friends
Real Hip Hop Keeps it Real and Tells the Truth
The etymology of the word conceded means 'to admit that something is true' 'to yield' so yeah. i am. what
