Sound Session #345 (1-22-12)

Posted in Episodes, Interviews, Sound Session on January 23rd, 2012 by Hyphen

(I’m headed to Los Angeles this week so I wanted to get this archive up ASAP for y’all.  If you’re in LA, hit me and let’s link up!)

After last week’s debacle, you didn’t think I’d forget to record SNSS on back to back episodes, did you?  Back once again, it’s the incredible.  This time, we were joined in studio by one of our favorite local artists, Thaddeus David, who you should be familiar with from his work with State of the Artist (SOTA) and Helluvastate.  He’s now releasing his first solo project, Maven, this Friday and we spoke with him all about it.

We also aired our interview (and live acoustic in-studio performance!) from a very promising up and coming R&B singer, John West.  Peep the interviews and the rest of the dopeness below.  RIP Etta James & Jam-Master Jay!

The Bark Side

Posted in Comedy, Videos on January 21st, 2012 by Hyphen

No idea what this has to do with Volkswagon, other than that they’ve used Star Wars brilliantly in the past, but I guess we’ll find out during their Super Bowl commercial.  Side note: it’s absolutely absurd that the NFL has trademarked “Super Bowl” so companies have to use synonyms like “Big Game” or “Game Day.”

Schoolboy Q ft. ASAP Rocky – Hands On The Wheel (video)

New Jerome D visuals for one of the standout records off Q’s new Habits & Contradictions project.  Loving the sample.

Shad – Besides (mixtape)

Posted in Artists, Mixtapes on January 16th, 2012 by Hyphen

I’ve been meaning to post this up for a bit, but as usual, better late than never.  Besides is a collection of Shad’s recent guest appearances and remixes, all seamlessly blended by the one and only DJ T-Lo.  The best writer in the game, IMO.

Download here.

Seattle: Come to Sol’s Yours Truly release party on Friday, January 20th, at Neumos to see Shad perform live!  (and cop Sol’s new album too!)

Hanni El Khatib – Fuck It. You Win. (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 16th, 2012 by Hyphen

Dirty AF!

If you aren’t up on Hanni, you’re missing out.  I tried to tell y’all in 2010. Here are a few other tracks off his Will The Guns Come Out album that I particularly enjoyed.

Thaddeus David – Crown Royal (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 16th, 2012 by Hyphen

On what appears to be the most packed couch in recent memory, Thaddeus spits a quickie from his upcoming album, Maven.  Thad will be coming through SNSS this coming weekend to talk all about the project.  Coming off one of the best releases of last year with Taysean for Helluvastate, everyone should be anticipating Thad’s first solo project.

Sound Session #344 (1-15-12)

Posted in Episodes, Sound Session on January 16th, 2012 by Hyphen

Well, it was bound to happen someday.  After 6+ years of recording the show every week (barring the few with technical difficulties), I straight up forgot to hit the record button for this episode of SNSS.  It’s a shame too, because we had a great time playing some good music and hanging out with the homies Avatar Young Blaze and Sol in the studio.  Enjoy the tracklist and just know that this was [Bill Walton] the greatest hour and a half in radio history [/Bill Walton].

We’ll lock it back down next week.

While we technically kicked off 2012 with last week’s “Best of 2011” wrap up, this really felt like our first SNSS of the new year.  I don’t really have too much to say, other than the music is dope as always, our homies Kooley High called in to the show, and the Drake/Common “beef” has me like this.
