Type tried to warn y’all…not for the faint of heart, or the uptight.
This is off Type’s Amateur Hour album and was directed by Griff J and Craig Packard, who are consistently dropping some dope visuals for a bunch of Seattle artists. Should be fun to see what they do in 2010.
I found out about the homey Smooth from my day job helping get music videos into stores, restaurants, clubs, hotels, etc.. I get to see a few dope videos that I wouldn’t otherwise catch every day, and here’s Smooth’s new one for “Hard Tymes.” Along with it being an ill track, the coloring in this one is real sharp to me.
I’ll readily admit that I know nothing about good fashion or what brands are popular — I’m not even sure I knew Supreme was a brand…ok, I think I did — but anyway, I do know good music. I wish the Niceguys did a full video for this track, which is one of my favorite joints of the past few months. Download the full jawn here.
Even though I was just on “vacation” for a week, I can’t seem to relax at all. Anyone ever have that same feeling? Perhaps I need to take up yoga or meditation.
In the meantime, I’m thankful for a track like this from the lovely Paola Jean. Music always soothes the soul…
The homies Cee & Bekah traveled all the way from Australia to link up with Mick Boogie & Terry Urban and drop the latest edition of their Soul Movement mixtape series. This one picks up right where Vol. 2 left off with an ill mix of dope rhymes and ill melodies. Great beat selection too. Cop this with the quickness and if you’ve been sleeping, you can actually download all 3 volumes off the Bandcamp link below.

The homey M-Dot dropped this video recently and I kept meaning to post it up. Better late than never…and for the record, you can’t go wrong with that O’Jays sample, especially with M-Dot spitting some fire over it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, time to go have some holiday dinner with the fam-a-lam. Hope y’all are doing the same.
The long awaited video for Macklemore’s ode to Seattle and our hip-hop community is finally here, and as expected, Mack and director Zia Mohajerjasbi knocked it out the park. Shout to everyone involved in the song, video, and our scene. It was an honor to make a quick cameo in a clip that’s sure to be a town classic and I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I do.
“I know, it’s not the same, it never will be/
But my-my-my-my city’s filthy”
Yessir! It’s getting closer and closer to the release of DRG Films’ documentary on U-N-I & Ro Blvd.’s A Love Supreme project.
*cough* narrated by yours truly *cough*
Also, Y-O and Thurzday leaked a new track off the upcoming re-release of the album, due out February 23rd.
Enjoy!
I know I’m a little late on this, especially since I’ve been bumping the tape non-stop ever since OU sent it out, but better late than never. Outasight is one of my favorite artists these days and this project shows exactly why. He’s a dope MC, vocalist, and is forward thinking with his art. Plus he’s just a cool dude. Download this immediately:

Congrats to Outasight for recently signing to Asylum/Warner Bros. Records as well. I hear the head of WBR is personally really excited about the signing, so it looks like they might actually give him the push he deserves in 2010…
