As the promising Hip-Hop group Animal Farm continues to increase their International buzz, Producer/ MC Gen.Erik has decided to leave the group’s Portland, OR home base in favor of New York City. The move is geared to expand the reach of Animal Farm, as well as Gen.Erik’s Focused Noise Productions.

As a going away present, Gen.Erik is giving away a free song entitled “Dear Portland”, an ode to the city where he made his musical mark and has called his home for over 10 years. In the clever song, Gen.Erik addresses Portland in an extended metaphor in which he painfully breaks off a relationship with the city he loves. He also utilizes references that are best associated with the City of Roses and home of the Blazers to tell his story. “Dear Portland” was also produced by Gen.Erik and features the precise DJ Wels, also from Animal Farm.
