IAMTOPP Returns!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with an artist whose bold and unapologetic voice is making major waves in the Spokane music scene. He’s a friend of the podcast and has been on here before—both solo and with his collective, Affiliated. I’m talking about none other than IAMTOPP.

Known for his unique approach to hip-hop and dedication to challenging conventional norms, IAMTOPP updates us on 2024 and shares reflections on a year of growth, creativity, and authenticity. We dive into his values around morals and staying true to oneself while navigating the complexities of the music industry. We also talk about the power of community and how we’re stronger together than we are alone.

IAMTOPP is a pillar of Spokane’s hip-hop scene, and his work in the music and art scene is undeniable. I’ll be at the house party with a bunch of friends, and I hope to see you there, too!

IAMTOPP’s new EP, BASTARD!, is out now and an absolute must-listen.
