The Audacity of Dope

Another week running around at a million miles per hour, so apologies for the delay on archiving SNSS episode #457.  Couple big things to hit on this week: 1) Shout to everyone we saw at SXSW, there are far too many to mention but you know who you are.  2) March Madness yo!  My Arizona Wildcats take the floor in the morning.  Here’s hoping it’s the start of a long run.  3) While I’ve enjoyed my run at the Worldwide Leader, it’s time I take my talents to South Beach Lake Union.  Those in Seattle can probably follow along, but for the rest of y’all, I’ll share the news in a few weeks.

For now, enjoy this week’s show with tracks from artists like Schoolboy Q, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, The Bar, CyHi The Prynce, YG, Jesse Boykins III, Sampha, Katy B, Daley, Jay Electronica, Black Milk, and more.  We also world premiered two new records from Locksmith and Shad.  Dopeness.

I think 2011 is going to be a big year for Laws.  Obviously he broke out nicely in 2010, but he has all the tools, talent, and connections to release great music and reap the rewards and recognition.  Here’s his new video for “Run Away,” a Justice League produced record sampling the Yeah Yeah Yeahs record of the same name.  Directed by Omar Shaikh and featured on Laws’ 4:57 and 5:01 mixtapes.

The homey Laws just dropped the video for his DJ Khalil produced record.  “I’m a boss…M. Bison and Ganon in one…”

Peep our interview with Laws right here.

While on tour with Reflection Eternal (check our interview here) and U-N-I, one of the nicest up and coming MC’s in the game, Laws, stopped by the Sound Session studio to chop it up.  We talked all about his background, linking up with the J.U.S.T.I.CE. League production team, his 4:57 mixtape with Don Cannon, his upcoming Yesterday’s Future project, and more.  Check out the links below for the full interview!
