The Audacity of Dope

Due to some technical issues with the equipment in the KUBE studio, apologies but unfortunately we don’t have an archive of this week’s SNSS episode.  It’s a shame, as we played lots of good record from artists like Wax Tailor & Ghostface Killah, Knox Brown & Gallant, AlunaGeorge, Travis Scott, Isaiah Rashad & Syd, Mac Miller & Kendrick Lamar, RetcH, JAHKOY & Schoolboy Q, Brent Faiyaz, H.E.R., Tony Tillman, De La Soul & Estelle & Pete Rock, and more.  DJ Nphared sat in as a guest co-host for the 2nd week in a row and we reminisced over Lil Wayne’s true glory days, the old SQAD mixtape series, with a random, but classic, throwback freestyle.

We’ll be back next week with the archive for the podcast fiends…we gotchu.

With the NFL regular season kicking off, the Colin Kaepernick sparked protests continuing to build steam, and Sunday marking the 15th anniversary of 9/11 (and one of hip-hop’s classic albums), it felt like a pretty heavy week to digest, so I put the Bat Signal up for the homey DJ Nphared to come through and co-host this week’s SNSS episode.  We chatted through all the above, in between playing new records from folks like Jay IDK, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, RetcH, Billy Danze, Amine, Anderson .Paak & BJ The Chicago Kid, Isaiah Rashad, Mac Miller (and a surprising SNSS debut appearance for Ariana Grande), and more.  Obviously our throwback had to cover that classic 9/11 album as well…

Enjoy!

Dope visuals from my favorite musicians in Seattle and the homeboy Jon Jon Augustavo on direction.  I believe this marks the 5th consecutive video shoot I’ve attended where I’ve successfully avoided appearing in the actual video.  Was a fun time though, shout to all the homies!

If you were lucky enough to hear Sound Session last night, you heard us debut a brand new record from the Physics called “My Place.”  That song is part of a special 3 song package that they released to the net today, which you can download right here.  “My Place” might be my favorite song out right now…from ANYWHERE…not just from Seattle.  Grab that ASAP.

This week’s SNSS was one of my favorites in quite some time.  We were joined in studio by Grynch, DJ Nphared, and Marcus D, plus we had Substantial and Oddisee call in from the East Coast.  All are dope musicians and good people, so it’s always a pleasure to chop it up with them.  Additionally, we played a ton of great music (well, what’s new) from some of our favorite artists.  Here’s my quick 2 cents on a few of the records:

• B.o.B & Lupe – can’t wait to see these guys at the Showbox Sodo on Friday…
• N.E.R.D. – I still insist there is no better job in music than being Pharrell
• M.I.A. – I can’t hear this record without breaking something.  Uber hard.
• Shad – there’s nobody in the game that makes me rewind for lyrics more than Shad K.  TSOL drops May 25th!
• Kendrick Lamar – the definition of “spazzing” on a beat
• Tunji – reminds me of “Paris, Tokyo” in a way…
• J. Cole – I really wish they woulda left the b-word in the chorus for the radio edit. You can say that these days!
• Donnis – This record is a sleeping giant. Isn’t Donnis working with Atlantic now? Why aren’t they pushing this? Smash hook.
• Eminem – Lyrics/flow are insane, as usual, but shoulda got Drake for that chorus. Don’t laugh, it’s true.
• Public Enemy – Arizona took another L this week, so we thought we’d remind them
• Nas & Damian Marley – this might be the best album of the year when it’s all said and done
• Drake – I love this record…and my Jansport still fits!  Imagine that.

Enjoy!
