The Audacity of Dope

Headed to Cali this week and taking off in a few hours, so I wanted to get this week’s episode of SNSS up for y’all right away.  Good show featuring some dope new music from artists like Common, Vince Staples, Dilated Peoples, Dave B, Bas, J. Cole, Dom Kennedy, King Reign, Silk Rhodes, Kool G Rap, Epidemic & Tantu, Ian Kamau, and more.  Plus, our good buddy Nacho Picasso co-hosted the episode and helped provide some levity on a night where our thoughts are on the craziness occurring in Ferguson, Missouri.  Along those lines, and in honor of Marcus Garvey’s birthday, we ended the show with a classic Black Star throwback.

Enjoy the show and stay safe y’all…

Another fun week on SNSS, as we were joined in studio by some of our favorite artists from Seattle: Nacho Picasso, Scribes, and SPAC3MAN, plus one of the dopest up-and-coming dudes in the game, Atlanta’s ForteBowie, called in to chop it up with us.  We also played new records from J. Cole, Bas, Planet Asia, Childish Gambino, Oddisee, Thunderbird Gerard, Piu Piu, Naomi Pilgrim, Shad, Drake, and more.

Outside of music, you do realize we have the NFL in full swing, college football coming down the stretch, soccer leagues and World Cup qualifying all around the world, the World Series, college basketball about to begin, and the NBA starting tonight, right?  It really doesn’t get any better.

Enjoy!

When we weren’t playing dope new music from artists like MeLo-X, J. Cole, Tito Lopez, REKS, The Bullitts, Kanye, Jay, Joey Badass, and more on this week’s SNSS, we spent much of our talk time discussing the tragic Trayvon Martin case and incomprehensible acquittal of his murderer.  Peep the show for more, but suffice it to say, when we feel a wide range of emotions, from anger to sadness, but yet don’t feel shock, something is horribly wrong with the system.

On a lighter note, we were also joined in studio by the homies: Louis V, Peta Tosh, Spaceman, iLLChris, and Nacho Picasso.  Enjoy the show!

It’s no secret that Seattle’s hip-hop scene is thriving these days and the rest of the country is rapidly taking notice of the talent we have in the town.  Macklemore is leading the way, but there’s a bevvy of artists making great music with breakout potential.  People already know about folks like Sol, The Physics, Grynch, J. Pinder, Nacho Picasso, etc., but from what I’ve heard of Raz Simone, I think it’s safe to put him on that list as well.

Here’s the video for “Cold,” a record Raz debuted on Sound Session last week from his upcoming Solomon EP.  Great stuff.

Seattle people: If you’re interested in checking out a free show from Nacho Picasso, Capital Cities, and CRKNKN this Saturday, Hyundai is putting on this Re:Mix Lab event at Showbox Sodo and you can RSVP right here.  Along with the performances, there will be “state-of-the-art gaming systems, revolutionary technology, and cutting-edge sound systems,” plus, “Hyundai will reveal three custom built vehicles representing the ultimate in style, design, performance and innovation.”

If you’re looking for something to do Saturday night, check it out!

SNSS listeners know that we welcomed Thaddeus David, Nacho Picasso, and Avatar Young Blaze in to our studio last week to debut their new “Sir Lancelot” record and now you can download the mp3 for yourself.  It’s somewhat of a different sound for Thad, but as you’d suspect with a MC of his caliber, he adapts his flow well for the track.  Nacho and Avatar sound at home too, with Nacho’s vocals cutting sharply through the beat and Av’s closing it out with his “scumbag of the year” verse. Download it below:

New music on SNSS this week from artists like Nas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Rick Ross, Andre 3000, Ghostface Killah, CyHi The Prynce, Talib Kweli, Warren G, Shad, Dee-1, Frank Ocean, Shawn Chrystopher, and more.  Special thanks to Feezable The Germ, Thaddeus David, Nacho Picasso, and Avatar Young Blaze for coming through the studio as well.

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.
