Devin and Kris met through rock climbing, but bonded over hip hop and have collaborated on music and podcasts since.

Devin Dabney

Devin is a climber, podcaster, rapper and master of satire who is equally at home with old school hip hop or new school anime. Not to mention all of the Star Wars, Marvel, and obscure comic references in between.

He’s the host of The American Climbing Project, a mixtape podcast about the social issues faced by the climbing community.

Listen to his music on Spotify or Bandcamp.

Kris Hampton

Kris is a climber, podcaster, rapper, and coach who can talk all day about the nerdy nuances of either hip hop OR rock climbing. He put out his first rap tape in 1991, and has been making music since.

He’s the host of The Power Company Podcast and co-host of Breaking Beta, both podcasts focused on progression within the climbing community.

Find his music on Bandcamp.


You can listen to Kris and Devin’s group project, Ballot or Bullet, on Bandcamp or Spotify.

Kris and Devin are co-founders of the Plug Tone Audio Collective, where their goal is to foster great podcasts focused on telling stories that can better serve their communities.
