The Audacity of Dope

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.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  Yin vs. Yang, if you will.  Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Dark, this intro vs. a good one.  You get the picture.

So when I noticed things were on an incredible roll lately, I should have also realized that something was about to go awry.  Luckily, it wasn’t anything that serious, but I’m sad to report that this week’s episode of Sound Session was recorded too ‘hot’ on our computer (thanks engineers!) so it sounds pretty atrocious.  On the plus side, I just got a new whip (and J got one a few months ago), it was Mother’s Day, and everyone in our circle is happy, healthy, and having more success than ever, so, as the cool folks say, it’s all good.

Oh, and did I mention that 5-8-11 marked our 6 year SNSS anniversary? That’s right…through hard work, great support, and an undying passion for the music and culture, J and I have had the pleasure of broadcasting SNSS live and direct for 6 full years.  Massive thank you shouts to everyone involved, especially the listeners.  We appreciate y’all so much and we’re happy to be one of the last outlets for independent/underground hip-hop on commercial radio.  Let’s keep it going y’all.

Die hard SNSS fans who missed the live broadcast may want to check out the archive since the music is still dope.  Sincere apologies if you can’t put up with the sub-par sound for the entire episode though.  At the very least, I recommend fast forwarding to 51:15 and checking out our interview with the founder of The FADER magazine and Cornerstone Promotions, Rob Stone.  You remember Cornerstone Mixtape #115, right?!  Shouts to the homies Jack & Cash for coming through the studio to talk about their new project too.

FADER just released their annual “Icon” issue and this time around, they honored the legendary Notorious B.I.G..  Obviously any Biggie-centric magazine would be dope, but with Rob’s unique history working closely with Puff in the early days of Bad Boy Records, he made sure FADER took it to the next level.  There’s all sorts of great behind the scenes stories and anecdotes, along with some never before seen photos, that make for a great read.  Cop it on newsstands now or hit up their site for more info.

We’ll see y’all next week, with the new and improved audio to kick off year six…
