Sound Session #472 (6-29-14)

SNSS

Running behind on archiving SNSS episodes, so this will be the first of two to go out tonight.  On episode #472, we welcomed Wanz, Grynch, and Crytical in to the studio to discuss their tribute to Nate Dogg and how they linked with Warren G for the track.  Wanz also told some very interesting behind the scenes stories about working with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and how “Thrift Shop” all came about.  Many thanks to the fellas for coming through, but especially for all the knowledge Wanz dropped.  We’re lucky to have him in our Seattle scene.

We also ran new records from Meyhem Lauren, Slaughterhouse, The Good Sin, G-Eazy, Jhene Aiko, 20syl, Pell, The Weeknd, and even world premiered a record from AZ.  For throwbacks, we had to honor the late, great Bobby Womack.  Rest in peace to one of the all time greats.

Enjoy!

Sound Session #421 (7-7-13)

Posted in Episodes, Sound Session on July 8th, 2013 by Hyphen

SNSS

It’s really rare that any artist, especially those from my own backyard, will sneak up on me with great music that I wasn’t expecting, but that’s exactly what newcomer Romaro Franceswa did with his self-titled project that we’ve been playing heavy on SNSS lately.  This past episode, we were joined in studio by Romaro and his Yuk The World compatriot, Fearce, to discuss his background, linking up with BeanOne, and how they managed to drop such a fresh debut project.  I highly recommend you download the album here.

As for the rest of the show, you already know what it is.  Dopeness from Bas, Peta Tosh, Run The Jewels, Mos Def, Kanye, Tony Touch, REKS, Masta Killa, Booker T, Estelle, Yuna, and Jay-Z.  Plus, the legendary AZ called in to talk about our throwback of the week (“Life’s A Bitch” with Nas) and his upcoming Doe Or Die II album.

Enjoy the show!

AZ – We Movin’ (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on June 2nd, 2013 by Hyphen

Two quick thoughts about this record:

1) AZ’s one of those MC’s that proves a dope flow should never leave you.  It’s like a good jumper or riding your bike.  Once you got it, you should be able to keep it forever.

2) Statik Selektah continues to murder beat after beat and while he’s getting a decent amount of props, I feel he’s heavily underrated in terms of his quality, quantity, and consistency.

Wack Lyric of the Day, 8-11-08

Posted in Wack Lyric of the Day on August 11th, 2008 by Hyphen

AZ

AZ is ill, but umm:

“Mind of Muhammad, signs of the Masonic/
Both combine, I’m a verbal rhyme colonic”
–AZ, “Knowledge Is Freedom”

I think a good general rule would be to never refer to yourself as any kind of colonic.  Maybe that’s just me though.
