Some folks have been wondering who’s rapping on our new SNSS intro each week, but our regular listeners should already be familiar with Homeboy Sandman.  They probably remember us playing this record too, which may be the greatest lyrical example of breaking down the creative process that I’ve ever heard.  No exaggeration.

We’re back from SXSW and as usual, a good time was had by all.  It would be impossible to list out everyone we ran into, but big shout to all the artists, managers, promoters, record labels, corporate sponsors, etc. that we hung out with.  It’s always fun to catch up and trade stories from the past year, even if the event as a whole certainly jumped the shark this time with all the major artists and companies getting involved.

Special shouts to Hardknock TV and The Smoking Section for organizing the 2nd Annual HoopxHang 3 on 3 basketball tournament.  Just like last year, they invited a bunch of industry cats to play some ball and this time around, I ran with Team Hardknock.  My teammates, Carl Chery from XXL and Nick Huff from Hardknock TV, and I pulled off some March Madness of our own and won the championship…plus bragging rights for the next year.  Good times and a great event overall.

Here’s this week’s SNSS, featuring music from some of the artists we saw at SXSW, including The Kid Daytona, Boldy James, Wiz Khalifa, Schoolboy Q, ASAP Rocky, Jhene Aiko, Miguel, Big K.R.I.T., BJ The Chicago Kid, Polyester, Dee-1, 50 Cent, Nas, and Raekwon.  Enjoy!

SNSS listeners will remember when Sin and Blakk Soul dropped by our studio to debut this record a few weeks ago and here are the visuals.  Be sure to cop the album, The Story of Love x Hate, right here.  Sin is one of the dopest and most consistent artists we have in the Northwest, so support the man.  Come on out to The Croc tonight for the release party with Thaddeus David and Luck-One as well!

Huge shout out to Mediafire for randomly deleting all of our archived episodes of Sound Session without any warning or explanation.  I’m hoping they’ll put our files back, but in the interim, all we’ve got is this week’s SNSS.  It makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift though…trust me.

Oh…and legitimate shouts to Homeboy Sandman for lacing us with a new intro (workinonit!) and for The Good Sin and Fatal Lucciauno for dropping by the studio to talk about their upcoming projects.
