The Audacity of Dope

Check out this week’s edition of SNSS to hear brand new music from the likes of Slum Village, Black Milk, Kanye West, Vandalyzm, Cee-Lo, Aloe Blacc, Lupe Fiasco, Fresh Daily, Nas, J. Cole, Drake, Nottz, and more.  Speaking of those last 3, there are 2 events this week that all our fellow Pacific NW’ers should come to Seattle for:

• Thursday, Sept. 2nd – Red Bull Big Tune at Neumos.  You already know what it is since J. Moore is one of the founding members of the Red Bull Big Tune, but if you’re sleeping for some reason, peep the site for more info.  This year’s Seattle stop goes down on Thursday and along with a plethora of talented producers from around the NW, Nottz and DJ Toomp will be on hand as the featured guests.  To top it all off, it’s FREE.  You have no excuse not to be there…unless you’re agoraphobic, I suppose.

• Saturday, Sept. 4th – Monday, Sept. 6th – Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival at the Seattle Center.  That’s right, the world famous Bumbershoot Festival is back for it’s 40th year, complete with all sorts of incredible musicians.  Seriously, the lineup is packed across all genres.  Check it out here.  Be sure to peep the main stage on Monday evening to catch J. Cole and Drake perform at the same concert for the first time.  You’ll also be treated to Mary J. Blige closing out the show that night, plus J. Moore and myself will be hosting.  I think this is the 5th year J and I have hosted the main stage and it’s always a blast.  Last year, I was fortunate enough to DJ for the U-N-I homies (footage if you missed it) and this year we get J. Cole and Drizzy.  Doesn’t get much better…

Much like that De La Soul footage I posted recently, I’ve been meaning to get some of this footage out for months.  Here’s a quick montage of Drake’s performance at our Summer Jam from June.  If you missed out, he’ll be back in Seattle next Monday with J. Cole and Mary J. Blige for Bumbershoot.  Holler @ a Hyphey when you see me there.

Shout to mind of i on the editing.

Damn, CurT@!n$ and Dom sound perfectly at home attacking this beat Rae & Ghost tag team style.  Crazy record.  Off The Dissertation: The Wu-Thesis, download here.

The Kooley High homies are back with the first visuals off their new project, Eastern Standard Time, which I highly recommend you download here.  I could listen to joints like this all day…

If you’re part of the Twitter world, then you’ve probably heard the news that Kanye West has recently joined the community.  Lately he’s been dropping hints of a collaborative five-track EP between him and Jay-Z that should be dropping sometime soon. I don’t know what’s more surprising:  the thought of a Hov and ‘Ye EP or the fact that I’m kind of feeling a verse from Nicki Minaj. Kind of.

The homies Y-O and Thurz are back with another video from A Love Supreme 2.0, this time for “Black Sky.”  This might be my favorite Jerome D directed piece yet, and he’s done some dope ones.  ILL.

Anyone who samples Adele gets props from me…and when you combine her “Hometown” record with heartfelt vocals about your own hood, it’s a wrap.  Off The Incomparable Shakespeare’s The British Invasion, which can be downloaded here.

ETHER.

“We back.  We back, we back, we back”

Another edition of SNSS is in the books, but as usual, we have your back on the archival tip.  Shout to Mister D.O.G. for coming through and to the One Reel/Bumbershoot family for providing some free tickets to their upcoming festival.  You don’t want to miss it!  More details here – www.bumbershoot.org
