Sound Session #191 (1-25-09)

Posted in Episodes, Sound Session on January 27th, 2009 by Hyphen

SNSS

Yes y’all, back once again with the latest edition of SNSS.  The recession might be wreaking havoc throughout the economic sector and causing layoffs like crazy (even at our parent company), but we just keep it moving steadily towards show #200 and our 4 year anniversary.  Imagine that.  We’ve been on the air longer than some of y’all went to college.  Zing.

On this week’s show, J returned from his trip to JamRock and regaled us with tales that will make everyone in the NW remember why our winters suck.  Musically, we dipped across genres and played joints from Q-Tip, Jazzanova, Passion Pit, Jay-Z, Shad, Adele, Common, and more.  Plus we had one of our strongest lineups for local music with tracks from the Blue Scholars, Dyme Def, and Framework.  Just to top it off, we debuted Convinced’s “Mass Appeal 2009 (Remix)” a few hours before it hit the blogosphere.  Good times & good music.  It’s what we do.

Convinced – Miss Memory (director’s cut) (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on December 18th, 2008 by Hyphen

I’ve been meaning to post up this joint for a while now, cause I’ve been playing it a ton over the past month.  I love this track.  Convinced is yet another dope MC from the new breed of Los Angeles artists, who are killing everything they touch these days.  Speaking of Cali, this joint really reminds me of my college days…for many reasons.  Peep it and then go download Convinced’s Refreshing project on his blog right here.

Shout to Eighties Baby as well!
