This is the jam right now. Be sure to turn it up loud so you can really hear the bass hit.
If you aren’t familiar with BANKS, you will be soon. Be sure to check out her new EP, London, right here.
LOOOOOOL…Drizzy’s been playing too much Call of Duty lately.  This song is still my ish though.
Happy #NWTS day! Â Go cop that.
The homey Mistah F.A.B. stopped by SNSS this week and as is tradition with F.A.B., he blessed the mic with a crazy freestyle off the top of his head. He completely killed it, with all sorts of Seattle references for us: his cousin Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch and his 3 touchdowns in the Seahawks vs. 49ers game earlier that night, Richard Sherman vs. Skip Bayless, Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, Tha Bizness, Macklemore, and more.
Props to F.A.B. for being one of the few MC’s brave enough to spit…and murder…a legit freestyle live on air with us. Some of your favorite MC’s have declined to rhyme live with us, and even those that do rarely do it off the top. No writtens here, just improvisational skill at it’s finest.
You can download the audio of the freestyle right here – http://www62.zippyshare.com/v/69183512/file.html
And the full interview is available on the archive for SNSS #431, right here.
Oh yes, it’s about that time for another album from Phonte and Nicolay. Love In Flying Colors comes out September 24th and this is the video for the lead single, “Call It Home.” Beautiful footage in this one.
Up and coming singer from Los Angeles. She’s got one here with “Waiting Game,” which will be on her upcoming EP, London, due out on September 10th.
Be sure to peep the remix with Gilbere Forte as well, right here.
Real rap from ST 2 Lettaz, formerly one half of the duo G-Side. If you’ve been sleeping, he released one of the better projects of the year, The G…The Growth and Development, which you can cop right here.
New visuals from the homey Pinder. Produced by town legend Vitamin D, video by Charles Donaldson and Yuk The World’s BeanOne.
Fresh.
This is one of the songs of the year, imo. Can’t say the video lives up to the audio, but it’s cool. Shout to Mack’s cameo hahaha.
Kendrick’s flow on this one is crazy!
The YouTube description pretty much sums up this video:
“A cavalcade of found footage cabaret.”
So you know what you’re getting with the visuals, but it’s all about the song itself. Too smooth.
Shout to Kid Ink for coming through the Sound Session studio recently and chopping it up. We discussed his background and when he first realized he could make music a career, before getting in depth on the keys to his independent success and why he decided to sign with a major label. He had an interesting take on how labels are adapting to work better with artists like himself, who have a dedicated fan base before inking a deal.
Real cool dude, I enjoyed our convo. Shout to Detooz Films on the cameras!
