Sub Pop signs Porter Ray

Sub Pop welcomes Seattle MC Porter Ray to the roster, who’ll release his label debut in 2015.

Porter Ray has earned praise from outlets in Seattle for his three self-released efforts — BLK GLD LP (May 2013); WHT GLD and RSE GLD EP’s (October 2013) — and his live performances. The MC caught the attention of Ishmael Butler, Shabazz Palaces founder and member of Sub Pop’s A&R team, who brought Ray to the label.

On a related note, Porter Ray will support labelmates Shabazz Palaces tonight, Friday, August 1st with a hometown show at Neumos.

Upcoming shows:
08.15 – Portland, OR – Redbull Sound Select/Music Festival Northwest w/ Flatbush Zombies
