    Whatever happened to Proz and Conz? Local Portland hip-hop crew. If nothing else, people typically knew them for "Blasted Blown".

    Yeah, I saw them back in HS. Probably opening for Blackalicious or something. I remember liking them, but not enough to buy anything.

    I knew one of the dudes in the group. Worked with him for a summer. They were going to do something under the name I5, it was only part of the original group, but I lost touch with the guy I knew and never heard anything further.

    They are around. Kevin was in P&C and does home remodeling now and still puts out some CDs on the side. Lance is around as well, but don't know what he's up to.

    They have beats man. DJ Rev. Shines has put some stuff out on his own that's nice and he spins great stuff down at Produce Row on Tuesday nights. And my man Vursatyle is about to release a solo.

    Ha, is R&R still open? I've only been in there a couple times, so probably not. I think I actually do have 1 album of theirs. Must not have listened to it much though. I don't think I'd recognize any of their songs.

    Nice. Did they take down the sign too? I can't remember a time when more than 3 or 4 of those bulbs worked at once.

    They kept the bottom half and did a good job refurbishing it.

    I've listened to most of those guys. I'm just not the fan of hip hop that I used to be. You left out Andre Nickatina, Aesop Rock and Ace of Base.

    Ace of Base is the Tits.

    Nikatina I left off for personal reasons. I've got personal beef, Mano-a-Mano. Know him. Was a GIGANTIC fan before that. Rad dude to chill with though. Real fucking rad.

    I'm good partners with all 40 of Ali Baba's thieves.
    Baby, don't act dumb, I'm number 41, High-Stepper.
