TOPE, the up and coming artist from Oakland by way of Portland, releases his highly anticipated EP with Some Things Gotta Change. Coming in at 7 tracks all produced by Stewart Villain, TOPE lets off frustrations from past relationships, dealing with doubters, society and the government through the only way he knows, and that is behind the mic. With early struggles harassing the artist earlier in the year, getting his laptop stolen and merch at a show, TOPE had to give life again to his project he was prepping to release then, 3AM In Oakland. The young artist bounces back with the hard hitting EP Some Things Gotta Change as a shorter version of 3AM In Oakland, his first project since 2015. The new EP gives you a mix of everything, from tracks where you can stunt in your own city (“How I Know”, “The Man”) to songs that may get you in your feels a bit (“Trying to Forget”, “Better Place”) all in all something you can vibe to anytime of the day or night.
