If you listened to Sound Session last week, you heard the homey Sol come through to talk about his new project, Dear Friends, Vol. 2. Be sure to grab the free EP and enjoy one of Seattle’s dopest MC’s.
While some of us were making completely pointless videos during the Seattle snow, the homies Geo and Sabzi were killing time making a better song and video than most artists do with huge budgets. Seriously, are you kidding me? About 95% of the artists out there wish they could make something this ill. The clip was directed by Saba’s brother, Zia, who continues to churn out some of the coolest visuals I’ve seen recently. Very dope.
Yeah, I already posted up that interview we did with the big homey Jacob Wizzle, but since he was recently awarded “artist of the year” by Seattle’s Sound Magazine, I thought I’d post that up again if you missed it. You can read more about that interview right here.
Also, be sure to head on over to Sound Mag’s site to read their ‘best of’ piece on Jake and some other great Seattle talent, though pretty much all non-hip-hop…[Jerry] not that there’s anything wrong with that [/Seinfeld]. Oh, and lots of quotes from yours truly were used in Jake’s piece. Read all about it on page 66 in the digital edition.
Big shout to Katelyn for helping Jake get the town love he so rightly deserves. Cop that White Van Music if you haven’t already!
I guess we should probably get back to some hip-hop related content, huh? Well, Obama is definitely hip-hop, but yeah…here’s a new interview with the homies Geo and Sabzi, collectively known as Blue Scholars. Peep some words from two of Seattle’s dopest. TBM.
I could go on, but the video is pretty self explanatory. Congrats to Brainstorm and Rising Son for advancing to the finals in NYC. Let’s hope we get back to back Seattle champions…
