The Audacity of Dope

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!

Two of my Seattle brethren, Scribes and Jon Augustavo, link up for the latest video from the upcoming MC. Produced by BeanOne and off Scribes’ What Was Lost project, available for download here!

Shout to the homey Scribes, who has my vote for most underrated MC in Seattle, for coming through SNSS a few weeks back.  Here’s a little video recap of his visit in case you want the behind the scenes look.  You can check out the full show too.

Download his album NOW right here.

A few of you reported that there was some difficulty downloading last week’s show and I apologize for the issues.  Inadvertently, SNSS stumbled into the larger music industry vs. the blogosphere debate, raging far and wide over content and piracy.  Luckily, TAOD, SNSS, J. Moore, and myself are far from new entities in the biz and after some discussions with our friends at a few labels, I think we may have found a few decent solutions.  We’ll test them out as we go, but if you have any problem checking out the show, just hit me up.

Ultimately, the labels, artists, and SNSS all have roughly the same goal, at least in terms of the music we support on the show.  We’re helping spread the word on good music that’s flying under the radar and we’ve yet to come across anyone in the industry that wants us to stop what we’re doing.  Well…other than…The Man…but that guy is always trippin.

When I first heard that Jon Augustavo was doing the video for Scribes’ “Roll My Way,” I was geeked, cause this has been one of my favorite records from the town in the past few years.  In fact, it’s one of my favorite “local” tracks that that we’ve played in Sound Session‘s history, so it’s great to see it get some more shine through dope visuals.  I think Scribes is the most underrated MC in Seattle, but hopefully that will start to change as more people hear his music.  Dude dropped 3 choruses on the outro of this record alone that are better than 90% of what y’all hear!

Side note: the boy Jon Jon is on a ROLL with the visuals…
