The Audacity of Dope

It’s about that time of the year where we start narrowing down our selections for our annual “Best Of…” show, but we still have a few more SNSS episodes to play brand new cuts before then.  On this week’s show, we welcomed local artist PROPS! into the building and our homey Rapper Big Pooh called to check in and talk about his new project, Fat Boy Fresh, Vol. 2: Est. 1980.  We also played new records from Big Boi and Andre 3000 (sadly, not together), T.I., Kendrick Lamar, Freeway, Wale Dion, Heems, Eminem, Wu-Block, Arima Ederra, Bilal, Promise, Slakah The BeatChild, IAMSU!, and more.

Enjoy the episode and feel free to chime in with your suggestions for what we should play on the Best of 2012 show in a few weeks!

On this week’s SNSS, we brought back one half of Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum production group, Tha Bizness, and Henny brought Dow Jones with him this time to complete the crew.  A few days prior, J. Moore and I had the pleasure of appearing on their panel about “How The Music Industry Really Works In 2012” alongside Jake One, Macklemore, BBoy (Two In The Shirts clothing), Sermon’s Domain, Miss Casey Carter, Eddie Francis, and the Sacramento Kings’ starting point guard, Isaiah Thomas.  We had a great discussion and I can’t wait until Henny & Dow do it again next year, even bigger.  Peep Sermon’s recap here.  Much respect to everyone involved!

We were also joined in studio by one of our favorite producers, Marcus D, who  just released his new Melancholy Hopeful album with appearances by Substantial, One Be Lo, Luck One, Choklate, Cise Star, Funky DL, and more.  Cop it here!

PROPS! also came through to debut his new track with Stalley (produced by Vitamin D) and give out some tickets to their show next week, alongside Miss Casey Carter and Chikara (from Rock Paper Scissors).  Stalley will be doing an in-store appearance at RPS at 3pm on the 10th before their show, so check that out and grab an autograph from one of MMG’s finest.

On top of all that, we played joints.  New music from 50, Ab-Soul, Meek Mill, Drake, Big Boi, Rashad, Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T., and more, plus we world premiered a new cut from Jimi 84 (formerly known as Yonas Michael, who is formerly Y-O from U-N-I).  Super dope record.  Enjoy the show!

Mitch: Here is a new joint from PROPS! featuring Stalley from Maybach Music Group and it’s a perfect tune to ride around and bump this summer. You can catch both PROPS! and Stalley live in concert June 10th at Neumos in Seattle, more info here.

Hyphen: Looks like we’ll be giving out tickets for this show on the June 3rd episode of SNSS.  Tune in, as always…
