The Audacity of Dope

The homies Eighty4 Fly and Jon Jon Augustavo have linked up for another great video from the town, this time for “Cool Kid” off Eighty4’s Colors project. Download the entire tape right here.

My favorite part of this whole Seattle movement is that everyone is legitimately down for each other. Every time someone in the scene drops a video, you see countless homies making cameos and showing support. We’re all going to look back on these days as special moments in Seattle’s music history. I hope this never stops.

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!

On what appears to be the most packed couch in recent memory, Thaddeus spits a quickie from his upcoming album, Maven.  Thad will be coming through SNSS this coming weekend to talk all about the project.  Coming off one of the best releases of last year with Taysean for Helluvastate, everyone should be anticipating Thad’s first solo project.

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.

Good friend of Sound Session, Lace Cadence, returns with his 2nd video from the mixtape J. Moore & I hosted a few months back, Launchpad (download here).  Strictly for the grown and sexy.  Shouts to Atuanya for his directorial debut!

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.

The homies Lace Cadence and Jon Augustavo have teamed up for the lead video from Lace’s recent mixtape, Launchpad.  If you’re still sleeping, be sure to download it right here.  Dope music and hosted by J. Moore and myself…what are you waiting for?

Oh, and man, it must be a tough gig filming a video with the beautiful Isabella Du Graf.  Jon Jon couldn’t have screwed this video up if he tried.  But on the real, I hear she has some dope records too…be on the lookout.

It’s been a long time coming, but the homey Lace Cadence of Clockwork has officially released his first solo project, coming in the form of the Launchpad mixtape.  If you’re familiar with Clockwork, then you know a bit of what to expect, but this builds off the group’s sound and takes it to a new place altogether.  I had a nice discussion with Lace about where he’s at musically these days and I couldn’t be prouder of dude.  In essence, he’s a grown ass man and he’s going to make the music he wants to make, without compromise.  He’s shown elements of this style throughout his career, but he really owned it on these records.  As an artist, that’s where you want to be.

I’m also happy to add that J. Moore and I hosted the tape, while DJ B-Mello mixed the project from front to back (sound familiar?).  It was a great process all around, so big shouts to Lace, Frank, Blastoff Productions, Producer L, and everyone involved with Launchpad.  Hope y’all enjoy the tape as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Download here.

Apologies for the delay on this week’s show, but you know how it goes.  Peep this week’s show to hear great music (as always) and the homey Lace Cadence joining us to debut “Moonlight” off his brand new mixtape.  J. Moore and I hosted the tape, while it was mixed by DJ B-Mello.  Sound familiar?  Cop Lace’s tape for the free right here – http://lacecadence.com

Super duper big time shout to Aloe Blacc coming through the studio this past week to bless us with an exclusive performance of his “Politician” record.  If you aren’t aware, Aloe has been a dope MC for years but in the last few, he’s started to branch out and really illustrate his musical genius.  His new project, Good Things, is, simply put, incredible.  It’s one of the best albums of the year and a throwback to when soul music not only sounded great, but also pushed buttons in society.  Nowhere is this more evident with “Politician,” a track that only appears as an instrumental reprise on the album.

In studio, Aloe murdered this in one take.  I highly recommend you peep it right here – https://www.theaudacityofdope.com/2010/08/15/aloe-blacc-politician-live-on-sound-session/
