How Long?

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!

Nocturnal Rage

Seattle’s notorious rain clouds set the backdrop for the thunderous reign of Nocturnal Rage. These three colorful emcees emerge from hip-hop’s gray area, much like a fiery sunrise in a dampened sky. Caligula, Pyro-Maniak, and Fo’ Feva are steppin’ out with their debut album and a perspective on what the rap game means to them. The group delivers hardcore hip-hop with a rock and funk twist combined with a live band. The album features legendary funk icon Rick James, bay area rapper Suga-T, and P-Funk guitarist Spaceman Patterson and many more. Music production includes Bosko, Mr. Roc’Phella, Philly Blunt, and Daddy-O of Stetsasonic.

The Source magazine says “Seattle’s own trio, Nocturnal Rage, packs more zest than a Starbucks menu.”
