West Coast native TOPE derives much of his experience from his treks up and down the Pacific as he calls both Portland, Oregon and Oakland, California, home, never staying in one place for too long.
Naturally, the nomad emcee has seen his fair share of obstacles in the past and on the heels of his Broke Boy Syndrome project, he's gearing up for another full-length release, due in August.
Before then he's teased the forthcoming project with his latest "How I Know" music video.
Produced by Zach Striar, "How I Know" is a laid back cut, equipped with a Dom Kennedy interview sample, and gets the visual treatment courtesy of The Faiz Phase.
