    ILOVEMAKONNEN

    ILOVEMAKONNEN

    ILOVEMAKONNEN stops by the Rip City Basement to chat with Brenboy and play a few songs from his catalog. We get to hear 3 hand selected songs from MAKONNEN, and a couple more of Brenboy’s favorites off the new ‘Stay Hydrated’ album which dropped at the end of 2022.

    The superstar singer/rapper released 10 projects last year including 3 albums and a few collabs with Yellow Trash Can, NBA Youngboy, and Rich Daytona. MAKONNEN talks about his history with music and creative process, explaining that his music is all about “the feel”.

    During his performance at the Star Theater, a big crowd of fans gathered front and center of the stage to watch ILOVEMAKONNEN rock the mic and recite the lyrics with him. The energy that night was so pure, as you can tell his fans truly adore him and his music.

    Not only is he a Grammy nominated artist, with his song “Tuesday” charting at #72 on the Billboard charts, but MAKONNEN takes the time to get to know his fans and fellow artists in the town on a personal level. He’s a genuine guy with a big heart for helping others, and it shows during this interview, as he expresses gratitude for Oregon and being accepted into the Portland music community.
