About this episode
On today’s very special episode of Songmess we’re chatting with Portland-based rapper Karma Rivera! Hailing from Chicago, the singer/songwriter, rapper, producer, promoter and all around G has been cutting her teeth in Portland rap since 2017, starting out with trap beats and embracing cumbia and reggaeton along the way. Today’s conversation gets into her Boricua background, her growing obsession with house music, Portland’s thriving rap scene, the tricky nature of finding your tribe in the Pacific Northwest, new music, and so much more!
