Earth Saylove

Twice nominated “Best Hip Hop Act of The Year” in the Portland Phoenix Best Music Poll (2007-08) and named an “Honorary International Artist of Nicaragua” by the Nicaraguan Association of Artists (and Archie Nica) in 2014. Most recently, Saylove has performed at international venues in Nicaragua and Miami, such as Calle Ocho festival. Hailing from a small town in New England (and with roots in the Caribbean and Central America), Saylove most often is described as having a Northeast (New York) sound. Strongly influenced by the jazz music within her home, and by the mid-80’s to mid-90’s hip hop she grew up on, Say’s mission is to master her craft to give back to hip hop culture for future generations.
