The Audacity of Dope

No long-winded description this week, just shouts to the folks who joined us on the 253rd edition of SNSS:

• J. Pinder – be sure to check out the listening party for his Code Red EP on Friday from 7-10pm @ Goods and download the tape then too
• Sonny Bonoho & JFK – peep their show this Saturday @ Nectar for the release of Sonny’s Phonephreak album
• Ashleigh, Sarah, and Dylan from Ballard High School – SNSS luh da kids and these seniors at BHS came through to film us for a documentary they’re putting together on Northwest hip-hop.  Gotta love it when the next generation is already seeking and creating alternative media!
• Devin The Dude – who was in town for a show, heard us play his new single, and called in on the hotline to say what up.  Easily one of the coolest dudes in the industry.

Enjoy!

Thanks to our third consecutive week with technical difficulties (aka The Man trying to shut down good music!), this week’s archive of SNSS is riddled with missing segments.  Luckily, all the songs were saved and while we lost some breaks, much of our discussion with Seattle’s first rap group, the Emerald Street Boys, was also recorded.  A lot of people don’t realize the long, storied history of hip-hop in Seattle, so peep this week’s show to hear a little about the crew that helped bring hip-hop to the 206, and also how they are still connected to our current scene.  If you’re in the town, be sure to check out their first performance in almost 30 years (!!!) this Saturday at The Crocodile when the Coolout Network celebrates their 19th anniversary.  It’ll be another historic night here in Seattle…be there!

“We back.  We back, we back, we back” – Ma$e

Yes y’all, another SXSW trip in the books and while there were certainly great moments and it’s always fun to see all the industry homies, I must say, it’s good to be back home.  It’s a great event, but when you go 5 straight days walking mile after mile, shouting over loud sound systems in every venue, giving a million daps, and all without eating or sleeping properly, it’s a bit draining.  Not to mention that the weekend always coincides with the best 4 days in sports: the opening 2 rounds of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.  Suffice it to say, I’m glad I don’t drink, otherwise I’d still be lost on 6th street somewhere.

As you would expect, the list of people we need to shout out is faaaaar too long to get everyone, but here goes.  Peace to…

I’m running on fumes, so I know I’m forgetting hella folks, my bad.  But you can see why…it’s craziness all around.  Shout to everyone!  In celebration, we decided to do a little SNSS x SXSW show this week, so every track features at least one person we saw in Austin.  Until next time…

**Sidenote:  Warner Music Group decided to kill our links last week (apparently they don’t want their artists played?), so here’s a re-up of Show #250 – http://www.mediafire.com/?1mhtjkrmnmj

If there are any problems with the links or if you’d like to be added to our weekly email list to receive the playlist and download links after every show, just shoot me an email, DJHyphen@gmail.com.

This week can really be summed up with two things:

1. This was our 250th episode of Sound Session, which is actually pretty crazy/impressive when you think about the state of commercial radio these days.  We’re quickly approaching our 5 year anniversary, but 250 overall shows is a great milestone as well.  While we do put a lot of effort into broadcasting SNSS each week, as always, the key to everything is [Jay-Z] you, the customer listener [/Hov].  Thanks to everyone who has ever supported the show and we’re celebrating this with all of y’all.
2. Speaking of celebrating, 4 letters my friends: SXSW.  That’s right, the annual music/movies/interactive media festival down in Austin, Texas is upon us once again and J. Moore and I will be there in full force.  Actually, it feels like most of Seattle is headed down there, plus at least half of the music industry in general.  Are you going? If so, hit me (DJHyphen@gmail.com) and let’s link up while we’re there.  I would offer some can’t miss events, but really, it’s absolutely absurd how much dopeness will be packed within a 15 block radius.  I hope you’re ready.

So…I would write a quick wrap up of yet another dope edition of Sound Session, but in all honesty, there’s only one thing consuming every waking moment of my life right now.  Oh yes, that’s right.  Young Hyph is in the process of becoming a first time home owner.  While it’s a daunting step to take, it’s exciting to wander down this path and we’ll see where it takes me.  For now, I’ve got my eye on this one spot downtown…really nice location, incredible views, iconic building…perhaps you’ve seen it?

But nah, in all seriousness…[Hov] it’s…about…to go…down [/Jay].  Any advice from those who have been through the process recently would be much appreciated.  In the meantime, holler @ some dopeness:

Ok, I must admit, it’s a little sad that the site has pretty much been reduced to Sound Session episodes and little else, but I’ll work on that.  Perhaps I’ll bring back Wack Lyric of the Day, I’ve been letting a lot of y’all rappers slide.

Anyway, it’s been pretty hectic lately and like I mentioned last week, I’m completely locked in to the Olympics.  From skicross to hockey, the action has been incredible, though I did finally find an event that completely sucks.  That’s right ice dancing: you…are…awful.

In short, imagine figure skating (sigh) without the athletic tricks and jumps…ok, that’s rough enough, right?  Now…add themes (often offensive to your morality, if not your senses), an obscene amount of make up, music seemingly stolen from John Tesh’s unreleased vaults, and the douchiest overall presentation of any event in the Games, and you’ve got yourself ice dancing.  Even the other figure skaters think it’s “a trifle dramatic.”  It’s painful to watch hockey all day and then see NBC broadcast ballet on ice, minus the aerials, during prime time.  I keep hoping Ovechkin will come out of nowhere to treat Belbin and Agosto like Jagr, but sadly, they seem to use different venues for these events.

The only thing that provides an appropriate recovery after being exposed to ice dancing is, of course, Sound Session.  Enjoy.

Big shout to the homey MiC K!NG (formerly known as iCON The Mic King) for co-hosting this week’s episode of SNSS with us.  If you haven’t checked out his new project with Chum, what are you waiting for?

It’s always fun to kick it with cool folks, and when they happen to be dope MC’s on top of that, it’s even better.  That’s rare, by the way.  There’s generally an inverse relationship between your level of talent and how nice you are.  Hit me and I’ll give you some examples, if you can’t think of a few on your own…

Anyway, peep episode #244 for all sorts of dopeness and the debut of our new Throwback of the Week feature.  Sometimes we get a little tired of the new selections we pick from each week and we figured we could educate some of our listeners with a classic jawn each show.  If you don’t like this week’s pick, you might as well stop checking for SNSS cause “What They Do” is flawless.

Oh, and shout to Nneka for calling in as well.  Her Concrete Jungle album hits stores today and it’s already racking up great reviews left and right.  I’ve been rocking the album and her mixtape with J. Period a lot recently and all the praise is well deserved.  Get on the bandwagon now before it’s filled up!  Full interview coming soon (I feel like I say that every week…bah…gonna find some free time to get those online for y’all soon).
