The Audacity of Dope

Visuals for the excellent “Hell’s Angels” off Thurz’ equally dope L.A. Riot (side note: RIP Rodney King) project.  BJ’s voice is absolutely ridiculous…does anyone handle harmonies like him these days?

Speaking of Seattle hip-hop, here’s the new video from the homey Wizdom, which features his childhood friend Nate Burleson…and Nate’s amazing shoe collection. Nate’s such a shoe fiend, his rap moniker is actually New Balance…or it was, when he rapped.  I’m not sure if he still gets on the mic, but dude wasn’t bad at all.  That said, his NFL career seems to be going pretty damn well, so I think we’re happy he’s staying focused there.

Check out more of Wizdom’s Unearthed project here!

Pinder heads out to Hawaii (and what also looks like Los Angeles) for the video to “A Learning Game” off his official debut album, Careless.  And while it’s shot fairly similar to Kid Ink’s “Time Of Your Life,” the clip turned out great.  When it comes to Seattle hip-hop, obviously Macklemore is getting a ton of notoriety (and rightly so), but JP is quietly having his own success around the country.  Couldn’t be happier to see him winning right now.  Keep going Pinder!

New music on this week’s SNSS from the likes of Hit-Boy, Kardinal Offishall, Nottz, XV, Schoolboy Q, B.o.B, The-Dream, House Shoes, Black Spade, Raheem DeVaughn, and more.  Plus, we were joined by Onry Ozzborn of Dark Time Sunshine live in the studio.

Enjoy!

Not mad at this for a radio single one bit. Hoping Tip has a hit on his hands with this one for the summer, but I doubt it will catch on that well. Radio/Video seems only enamored with 100+ BPM records at this point…

Mitch: The day has finally come villains. Nearly eight months since his last endeavor, Stevie Crooks, quite possibly California’s most underrated/slept on rhyme spitter blesses us with his Cashmere Killer LP hosted by LRG and DJBooth.

One track in and you’ll quickly come to realize this isn’t going to be your average cookie-cutter 2012 release. Taking inspiration from the golden era of hip-hop, each track features a nostalgic 90’s feel to it. The LP consists of 13 ill cuts with the lone guest appearance from Erin Darcel, as well as one #CamoClique approved bonus track.

Big shout to all the artists, DJ’s, managers, and label reps we caught up with at KUBE’s Summer Jam over the weekend.  Kid Ink, E-40, Tyga, Big Sean, B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, and Rick Ross all performed in front of 18k fans at the Gorge.  Great show all around!  Check the recap here.

In other news, this archive for SNSS episode #365 means you can now listen to a show a day for an entire year without repeating a single one.  A full year of SNSS!  What else could you ask for?

Well, I suppose could ask for Maybach Music Group’s Stalley to drop by our show this week to talk about his latest mixtape, MMG’s Self Made, Vol. 2 compilation, and his upcoming album (video of the interview coming soon).  You could also ask for one of Seattle’s dopest MC’s (and possibly the next to follow in Macklemore’s footsteps on the national scene), Sol, to come through as well and talk about his amazing globetrotting plans for the next year and his “farewell” show this Saturday at the Showbox Market (with The Physics and XV).  And in case you wanted to be greedy, you could also ask that Brothers From Another drop by the studio to talk about their new Taco Tuesday EP and debut an instant Seattle summer time classic, “Molly Moon” with Prometheus Brown & Thig Natural.

And since I’m in a giving mood, here you go:
