The Audacity of Dope

I always enjoy seeing new talent come out the gate spitting hungry AF and that’s what you’re seeing with Cozz, J. Cole’s newest signing to Dreamville.  The most amazing part of this video is that they actually got shots of Los Angeles without any cars driving around in the background.  But on the real, peep Cozz’s abum that just dropped, Cozz & Effect, and watch out for an appearance on SNSS real soon.

On this week’s SNSS, we ran new tracks from The Game, G-Unit, P Reign, Logic, Lecrae, Melat, Diggs Duke, Cam’ron, Snakehips, BANKS, Friend Within, Sinead Harnett, Lupe Fiasco, Common, and more.  On top of the good music, Joey Bada$$ called in to talk about his upcoming album, B4DA$$, and Bas also checked in to discuss his Last Winter project and being signed to J. Cole’s Dreamville Interscope imprint.  Shout to our longtime Atlanta homey Art By Odell for hanging with us in studio while he’s in Seattle for this weekend’s Bumbershoot Festival as well!

Enjoy the show…

Visuals for one of my favorite records of the year, Bas (PSG jersey FTW) and J. Cole’s “Lit,” featuring great vocals from KQuick.  Cole absolutely murked this one.

Be sure to download Bas’ entire project, Quarter Water Raised Me, Vol. 2, for free right here.

Along with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, we sat down with good friend of SNSS, J. Cole, at our recent Summer Jam concert at the Gorge.  The video of our interview doesn’t fully share how dope a conversation this was, mainly because of the lack of proper equipment we had down there, but there’s still a lot of interesting stuff from Cole.

Of course we spoke all about his new Born Sinner album, including the pressure he felt while making it, why he decided to compete with the other artists dropping 6/18 too, and why the album is his attempt to “beat the system.”  We also spent time talking about his favorite subject, basketball, and what it’s like being friends and playing ball with NBA players, their words of encouragement for him, and if he would trade rap for hoops.  There’s some more random goodness in there too.

Shout to Cole for always being one of the coolest dudes in the industry and always supporting our show.  Be sure you cop Born Sinner in stores now!

Cole’s album is full of good records, but the title track might be my favorite of them all. Great beat and some heartfelt rhymes…can’t ask for more.
