June kicked off with a visit from producer/MC/DJ Theory Hazit as we talked about his many projects and guest spots including the alter ego Three. Theory has collaborated with so many artists from the Portland area that he is quickly becoming a fixture on the local hip hop scene.

We also played cuts from IAME of Sandpeople/Oldominion. His latest project LAME has been generating a buzz already and he's preparing for the album release here in Portland this weekend. Check out Heaven Noise for updates.
