    I love to see that Hip Hop is a global nation. Coming from a group of friends who make music, I enjoy learning about people like Onra on the grind to make his expression heard. Great footage! XO!

    i don’t think hip hop really has a boundary with music… its like a Gemini, not saying its two faced, but it is adaptable amongst the other genre’s of music

    Caught Onra in Detroit a few weeks back in this little underground spot. There were maybe 50 people in there but the whole place was groovin. Hope he rolls through again.

    And yeah, his “Night and Day” remix is dooooooope.
