“Archives for the ‘All Star 2009 special edition’ Category: Identified as a pioneer in Phoenix Hip Hop amongst his peers, Pokafase is mentioned often when discussing the local scene. After a lifelong career, Pokafase is still as focused on rapping today as he was fifteen years ago, if not more-so.... ”

— By Ms. Rivercity, Ozone Magazine

“ Pokafase “The Mayor” speaks up on SB1070: By now we are all very familiar with SB1070 and the impact it has had on Arizona economically and emotionally. The law is set to take effect on July 29, 2010 even amidst the legal challenges to SB 1070 and whether the state is pre-empting the federal government’s constitutional authority to regulate immigration. Well Pokafase the self proclaimed mayor of Phoenix has finally gotten around to lyrically addressing the topic over the top of Drake’s “Over” instrumental. It’s easy to get confused when you first hear the hook come in on this track but as always, by the time Pokafase is done you’ll have no question about where he stands on the entire issue.
