2024 San Rafael PorchFest Musicians
AL-X The Great
AL-X The Great is a 26 year old hip hop artist born in Hong Kong, raised in Japan and Los Angeles, who currently resides in Marin County, California. His love for music stems from lazy days listening to classic rock with his mom and driving around listening to old school hip hop with his dad. By being able to take from multiple genres of music, AL-X seemingly floats between various modern hip hop sounds with relaxing, "beach vibe" tracks such as his EP Sunscreen (Soundcloud), to more modern alternative kinds of rap music like his single Rocketman (feat. Atlas & Lando!). As AL-X continues with his career as an artist is is easy to see how these varying tracks show a merging of modern rap music with its other sub-genres.
