RMP "On The Rise" Album Release ft. Old Man Saxon & DNA Picasso with Rhyden

Colorado's local music scene takes center stage on May 16th as Roots Music Project throws the ultimate album release party for "RMP On The Rise Vol. 1" — a brand new vinyl compilation celebrating the artists shaping Colorado's sound right now.

The night features Old Man Saxon, whose sharp wit, viral reach, and electric live shows have made him one of hip-hop's most distinctive storytellers; DNA Picasso, Denver's genre-bending voice blending hip-hop, R&B, and melodic honesty into something entirely his own; and Rhyden, an emerging talent from the RMP TEMPO program representing the next wave.

Every ticket purchase and donation directly supports Roots Music Project Foundation — a Boulder-based 501(c)(3) that empowers local artists, fans, and venues to build a thriving music community. Grab the new vinyl while you're at it.

With a style that blends humor, vulnerability, and sharp social commentary, Saxon has carved out a unique space in hip-hop that resonates across generations. His music has been featured on shows like Silicon Valley, and his viral hit “Hell Yeah” has racked up millions of views and streams worldwide. Beyond music, Saxon is also a dedicated educator and nonprofit founder, using hip-hop as a tool to inspire youth to imagine brighter futures. His workshops and talks teach storytelling, creativity, and self-expression through music and community-building. With a knack for balancing levity and depth, Saxon’s lyrics touch on everything from identity and survival to love and absurdity. His live shows are part comedy, part therapy, part straight-up rap but always unforgettable. His new album $ports drops this fall. Don’t miss it.
