The Audacity of Dope

Running around like crazy this week so unfortunately I don’t have too much time for a recap, but never fear, we’re back with another great episode of SNSS to hold you down.  J. Moore was joined in studio by DV One and ran through dope tracks from folks like Tunji Ige, Kali Uchis, Warm Brew, Drake, Joey Badass, Nefew, Alina Baraz, TUT, a few throwbacks to honor two of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, and more.

As often happens with our show, we have the privilege and honor to give some artists their very first radio spins, and no matter how many times it happens, I will never get tired of seeing their reactions.  Moments like Russ hearing his track played over 100k watts while in the home studio he recorded it in, or Johnny Rain’s tweet below are what SNSS are all about!

shoutout to @KUBE93 & @DJHyphen for showing love tonight in Seattle! first radio station to play my music! much love! 🙏

This week’s Sound Session was another good one.  We played new records from Run The Jewels, Big K.R.I.T., Logic, Esta, Drake, Miguel, Mansions On The Moon, Nas (Dilla!), Janine and the Mixtape, denitia and sene, Black Milk, 14KT, and more.  Plus, our homey Russ called in to talk about all the buzz he’s been making over the past year or so and what it’s like to be on the verge of really breaking through to the masses.  Watch out for this kid…labels are circling like vultures.

Enjoy the show!

The homey Russ has quickly become one of my favorite artists out right now. Dope beats, catchy melodies, and some of the most heartfelt, genuine lyrics in the entire game. What more do you need?

“Yellow” is extra special for me since Russ humbled me with the shout out in the second verse.  Definitely got you homey!
