The Audacity of Dope

New visuals from the homey Pinder. Produced by town legend Vitamin D, video by Charles Donaldson and Yuk The World’s BeanOne.

Fresh.

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!

Fort Lauderdale’s Butta Verses is an honorary member of our hip-hop community here in Seattle and he recently leaked some unreleased videos to the net. Above is “Round and Round” featuring Choklate (what up Chok!) and after the jump, you can catch the visuals for “Work.” Both joints are produced by the big homey BeanOne. Neither of these songs will be on Butta’s new album, Reality BV, dropping September 16th, but look out for a video for the single, “If I Die,” coming real soon!
