Sorry We Lost You

Hmmm... There’s not a lot of information about this record in the museum encyclopedia.

This TOWN LOVE website was created in 2021 as a pandemic-era project. It was a volunteer-led effort to help document and celebrate the complete history of Northwest hip-hop between the years 1981 and 2020. This public archive we built is now available for free online for everyone to read and explore.

If you'd like to contribute, and you know something about this particular record--a story, a memory, or a favorite lyric--please email us a short write-up, and we’ll add your thoughts to the archive when we get the chance.

Thanks for your help in preserving the history of our scene!

HappYer Now

Dan’s Tunes says MistaDC is “one of the most dynamic voices in The Emerald City.” His latest upbeat five-track effort freshly remixes his unique formula of neo-soul, R&B, and rap, with help from collaborators Jamie Blake and J’Von. The release party was a sold-out celebration at The Crocodile Back Bar. The Stranger calls HAPPYer NOW “short and sweet” and highlights the groovy disco-infused single “Pretty Pink.” Respect My Region say this EP is “dance-centric. It boosts the tempo and screams ‘shake that ass for me!’”
