The Audacity of Dope

Hey everybody, we appreciate your patience recently as we’ve been delayed with getting episodes of SNSS archived and had to miss a few weeks on air as well.  As mentioned in the last update, J’s been battling some health issues but as we expected, he’s fighting through them like a champ and feeling much better.  Before he makes his triumphant return to the airwaves tonight in Seattle, we wanted to get the last few episodes posted for you guys.

Here’s show #541, featuring music from Michael Christmas, Chance The Rapper, Add-2, Lady Leshurr, Monday/Friday, Dave B, Pell, GoldLink, Snoop, Raleigh Ritchie, Miike Snow, and many more.  We ran two special throwbacks on this episode to celebrate some classic album anniversaries, plus we were joined in studio by one of the dopest MC’s in Seattle, Romaro Franceswa.

Enjoy!

It’s really rare that any artist, especially those from my own backyard, will sneak up on me with great music that I wasn’t expecting, but that’s exactly what newcomer Romaro Franceswa did with his self-titled project that we’ve been playing heavy on SNSS lately.  This past episode, we were joined in studio by Romaro and his Yuk The World compatriot, Fearce, to discuss his background, linking up with BeanOne, and how they managed to drop such a fresh debut project.  I highly recommend you download the album here.

As for the rest of the show, you already know what it is.  Dopeness from Bas, Peta Tosh, Run The Jewels, Mos Def, Kanye, Tony Touch, REKS, Masta Killa, Booker T, Estelle, Yuna, and Jay-Z.  Plus, the legendary AZ called in to talk about our throwback of the week (“Life’s A Bitch” with Nas) and his upcoming Doe Or Die II album.

Enjoy the show!
