I’m kind of on a string of posting Seattle related ish, but how can you blame me when we make songs and videos like this? Great job by Stephan Gray on the direction as well.
For the record, Rik Rude and P-Smoov’s collab album as Fresh Espresso was one of my favorite LP’s of the year, from any region. If you haven’t checked the record, you’re losing.
Well it took a day longer to have the latest edition of Sound Session ready for y’all, but you’ll see why in my next post. Before all that, peep the show info. We ran an eclectic mix of joints, ranging from Black Milk to Janelle Monae to Kardinal Offishall, and debuted brand new tracks from Royce The 5’9″, Heltah Skeltah, Lupe Fiasco, Murs, and more. We also had one of Seattle’s dopest MC’s, Rik Rude, come through for a quick update on what he’s been working on (Fresh Espresso with the homey P-Smoov). Lastly, rising stars The Knux came up from Los Angeles to chop it up about their upcoming Remind Me In 3 Days album. If you haven’t heard of Krispy Kream and Rah Almillio, you’ll will real soon. These dudes are dope.
