The Audacity of Dope

While J. Moore is overseas holding it down with THEESatisfaction on their European tour, our trusty stand in DV-One co-hosted this week’s episode of SNSS.  We were also joined in studio by good friends Lace Cadence and Jon Augustavo so it goes without saying that good times were had by all.  Musically, you already know we had to run the two new Kanye records that took the web by storm last week, alongside other gems from artists like Killer Mike, Aloe Blacc, Wordsworth, Denzil Porter, Big K.R.I.T., Iron Solomon, Mikkey Halsted, Lupe Fiasco, and more.

Enjoy!

Two of my Seattle brethren, Scribes and Jon Augustavo, link up for the latest video from the upcoming MC. Produced by BeanOne and off Scribes’ What Was Lost project, available for download here!

Another video from the homies Lace Cadence and director Jon Augustavo off The Launchpad mixtape that J. Moore and I hosted a while back.  If you haven’t downloaded it, grab it now while we still have some summer days left!

Extra props to Jon Jon for getting his old Nick The Quick jersey in another video.  I expect this to be a running trend continued for years to come.

Yes, it’s trite to say, but I really can’t believe that it’s 2011 already.  The older you get, the quicker time passes and for us motivated (but perhaps partial to routines) folk, it’s a continual reminder to “get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’.”  Personally, when presented with the “make it or break it” scenario, I have only one option.  With that in mind, 2011 will be a big year for myself, J. Moore, SNSS, and all our associated fam.  I’m sure it will be for you too…if you want it.  Don’t be that person who drops out of the gym by February.  Get busy living.

New heat from two of my favorite homies in the biz: J. Pinder and Jon Augustavo.  It’s always inspiring to see folks you know make great moves and represent the city so lovely.  Pin is the newest member of the Hall of Justus too, so he’ll be doing more and more work with my Justus League folks.  What up Dho!

A certain Seattle DJ/blogger/all around cool guy might be featured in one of these in the near future…gasp.  From Jon Jon:

This is the first installment in a series I’ve entitled “Good Times.” The basic idea is to do more than just shoot music videos with hip-hop artists. I wanted to get a story out of them and keep it simple. For my first effort I linked up with Chicago area, DC-born rhymesayer Dave Coresh (no relation to infamous Waco man Dave Koresh). DC takes time out to drop a couple of freestyle snippets and explain his amazing teeth all whilst riding the L.

Dave Coresh is a dope MC for sure. Peep some samples here.

The homey Blaze teamed up with the other homey, Jon Augustavo, to whip up a video for “Wishing On A Dream” featuring Isabella du Graf.  While this one wasn’t shot up here in Seattle like the previous video I posted, or most of Jon Jon’s work, it looks great and it’s another example of the talent here in the 6.

Simply put, the homey Jon Augustavo makes music videos look doooooope.  Here’s his new reel, featuring many clips you’ve seen here on TAOD.  Check his site for more.

Shout to Atuanya for putting together this dope footage of Lace Cadence (and of course Miss du Graf) dropping by Sound Session a few weeks back.  If you missed the show, you can grab it here…and if you don’t have the Launchpad mixtape, whatchu waitin’ for??!?!?!

Download it here.

When I first heard that Jon Augustavo was doing the video for Scribes’ “Roll My Way,” I was geeked, cause this has been one of my favorite records from the town in the past few years.  In fact, it’s one of my favorite “local” tracks that that we’ve played in Sound Session‘s history, so it’s great to see it get some more shine through dope visuals.  I think Scribes is the most underrated MC in Seattle, but hopefully that will start to change as more people hear his music.  Dude dropped 3 choruses on the outro of this record alone that are better than 90% of what y’all hear!

Side note: the boy Jon Jon is on a ROLL with the visuals…
