The Audacity of Dope

Apologies for the delay on getting the last few SNSS episodes archived, but it’s been really busy lately with travel, work, more work, a little fun, even more work, and the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl.  All in all, a fun but exhausting few weeks!

Here’s episode #449, where we celebrated the real Super Bowl (the Seahawks beating the clear 2nd best team, the 49ers) and the amazing extra-curriculars of Richard Sherman.  We also played new music from artists like Quelle Chris, Jake Lambo, Rome Fortune, SOHN, Sango, Kenneth Whalum III, Murs, Bryant Dope, Chrome, Toro y Moi, and more.

Enjoy this one and hold tight for a few more episodes tonight…

Good music a plenty on this week’s episode of SNSS, including tracks from artists like The Lox, Termanology, Mykestro, Rockie Fresh & Casey Veggies, Kwabs, Kastle, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, and more, but there’s really only one thing on the mind of everyone in Seattle this week: the epic showdown between the Seahawks and 49ers, where the winner goes to the Super Bowl.  It should be a great game since the 49ers are the hottest team in football and might be the only squad more talented than the Seahawks top to bottom.  The Hawks haven’t played well offensively of late (or really all season, at least compared to their potential), but they have a great defense and the huge benefit of home field advantage here in Seattle.

With all due respect to the Patriots and Broncos, the NFC Championship is essentially the Super Bowl since these are the 2 best teams in football.  Should be a great one.  Go Hawks!

Fun show this week on SNSS.  First, our homies Onry Ozzborn and JFK came through to world premiere a Grayskul track off their new Zenith album.  It’s the first Grayskul album in years, so fans don’t have to wait any further for the duo to release new music together.  Cop that!

Also, while in town to watch his cousin Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks play the San Francisco 49ers, good friend of the show, Mistah F.A.B., stopped by to chop it up about our two favorite topics: sports and music.  We talked a bit about what it’s like for him and Marshawn to be from the Bay Area but repping for the Seahawks now, at a time when the two teams have the top rivalry in the NFL.  He also discussed his new mixtape, Hella Ratchet, which, as the title might indicate, is rather self explanatory.  Be sure to cop that for some classic ratchetry and…how do the kids say it…turn up!

As is tradition with F.A.B., he also blessed us with a CRAZY freestyle off the top of his head, tossing in Seattle references left and right and incorporating topics we discussed on and off air all night.  A lot of your favorite MC’s have declined to rhyme on air, so it’s always refreshing to have someone come through and insist on spitting, especially when it’s a legit freestyle and not a random written verse.  All respect to F.A.B., a true master of improvisation.

You can watch the freestyle right here:

Or download the audio through the link below, along with the rest of the show and interview.  Enjoy!

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.
