The Audacity of Dope

Another fun week on SNSS, as we were joined in studio by some of our favorite artists from Seattle: Nacho Picasso, Scribes, and SPAC3MAN, plus one of the dopest up-and-coming dudes in the game, Atlanta’s ForteBowie, called in to chop it up with us.  We also played new records from J. Cole, Bas, Planet Asia, Childish Gambino, Oddisee, Thunderbird Gerard, Piu Piu, Naomi Pilgrim, Shad, Drake, and more.

Outside of music, you do realize we have the NFL in full swing, college football coming down the stretch, soccer leagues and World Cup qualifying all around the world, the World Series, college basketball about to begin, and the NBA starting tonight, right?  It really doesn’t get any better.

Enjoy!

When we weren’t playing dope new music from artists like MeLo-X, J. Cole, Tito Lopez, REKS, The Bullitts, Kanye, Jay, Joey Badass, and more on this week’s SNSS, we spent much of our talk time discussing the tragic Trayvon Martin case and incomprehensible acquittal of his murderer.  Peep the show for more, but suffice it to say, when we feel a wide range of emotions, from anger to sadness, but yet don’t feel shock, something is horribly wrong with the system.

On a lighter note, we were also joined in studio by the homies: Louis V, Peta Tosh, Spaceman, iLLChris, and Nacho Picasso.  Enjoy the show!

There are a million things I could say about the positive, progressive steps that America took tonight as a whole (and many states, including Washington took individually), but if you listen to SNSS, you’re already on the same page as us.  Our society can now continue to evolve, but only if you do your part and continue to push yourself to be a better person in every aspect of your life.  It’s not about Barack.  It’s about us.

Work harder.  Get smarter.  Share more.  And most importantly, love more.

We love this music and culture, and hope you do too.

Visuals off of one of my favorite projects from the Northwest over the past few years, The Good Sin’s collaboration with 10.4 Rog, Late.  I’m was worried I might be spotted in one of those pictures, but then I realized a real life Hyphen has never been caught on film in the wild.  Real ninjas move in silence.

People around the 206 know that I’m notorious for not going to many shows, but I may have to make an appearance this Wednesday at the Vera Project (in Seattle Center, right next to Key Arena).  As J. Moore, Jake One, Vitamin D, DV-One, and Markus do in every city that Big Tune hits, the entire week is filled with great events for the public and for the participants.  Since Seattle is the home of the event, you already know that we’ve got some dope stuff going on before this Friday’s battle at the War Room.

Case in point, hit up the Vera on Wednesday for a free show from The Physics, J. Pinder, and Spaceman, along with an exclusive video documenting the collaboration between last year’s Big Tune winner, C-Sick, and the legendary Nas.  See y’all there.

Wow.  It’s 1:30AM (PST) and whether it was Khaled or not, which I’m sure we’ll find out by the morning, I just watched the standoff with LAPD end on the live chopper feed and it was not pretty.  According to Fox in LA, the driver of the Bentley killed himself so RIP to whoever it was.

On that note, I really don’t have anything to say about this week’s SNSS.  You know the drill.  I can’t think of anything to write after watching something like that.
