The Audacity of Dope

Quick update with last week’s episode of SNSS before I hop on a plane and head to NYC for the week.  Heading back to the States after 8 months in London has me feeling like Eddie in Coming To America.  Just hope I get a friendly reception when I recreate the balcony scene in the morning.

NYC homies – I’m there until Friday, hit me up!

Check out this week’s show to hear new tracks from 3 of our favorite Northwest artists, Dave B, John Crown, and Brothers From Another, plus a special old school Seattle throwback in honor of the Museum Of History & Industry opening “The Legacy Of Seattle Hip-Hop” exhibit downtown.  More details here.

Alongside our local talent, we showcased new records from BROCKHAMPTON, Bryson Tiller, Guilty Simpson, Mac Miller, Russ, Big Pooh & Nottz, Travis Scott, Toro y Moi, Redman, Method Man, MF Doom, Ghostface Killah, Roman GianArthur, Gary Clark Jr., Elhae, Rationale, Abhi//Dijon, and more.  Great music throughout the night, enjoy!

Back once again with another episode of SNSS for you.  Here’s show #534, featuring a plethora of cuts, ranging from the first effort off the collaborative EP between Big Boi and Phantogram (aka Big Grams…I see what you did there guys), to some unsigned hypeness from a very fresh Colorado/LA singer named CRL CRRLL (shout to the homey Low Key).  In between, we ran cuts from the good Doctor, Magnif (produced by Dilla), Rick Ross, Blu, Dave B, Mick Jenkins, Rocky Rivera, Leon Bridges, Prince, Rationale, Abhi//Dijon, SG Lewis, Azekel, 8 Ball, Scotty ATL, Big K.R.I.T., and a really dope record from up and coming Texas group, BROCKHAMPTON.  Yes, all caps, so you know it’s that serious.

We also celebrated 3 special throwbacks: the 10 year anniversary of Little Brother’s borderline classic (combo of the music and what it meant for an underground group trying to break through on a major at the time), The Minstrel Show, plus the 19th anniversary of 2Pac’s passing and the 21st anniversary of Biggie’s classic debut.  Is it just me or is it completely insane that Pac died the same day of the year Ready To Die came out?  “It’s bigger than hip-hop…”

Enjoy the show and RIP to those two absolute legends.

It’s been a pretty busy/hectic last few weeks for the SNSS crew, so please pardon the delay on the archive.  This is episode #532, from August 23rd, which featured all sorts of dopeness.  New tracks from 50, Mac Miller, Mick Jenkins, Erick Sermon, Method Man, Redman, Sean Price (RIP!), King Reign, midnight, Birthday Boy & Allie, Bryson Tiller, Tom Misch, Vivian Green, The Foreign Exchange, and more.  We celebrated the anniversary of one of the best debuts ever for a double throwback, including possibly my favorite intro to a rap album ever.  It still slaps.  The homegirl Gifted Gab also stopped by to chop it up with J and spin “One In A Million” off her recent G-Sh*t EP.

The following week, we actually had to take a much deserved break from SNSS since J was under the weather and your boy International Hyph is still out in London.  Thankfully, J is well on his way back to full strength and we’ll be posting up show #533 from this past Sunday soon.  Enjoy these cuts for now!
