We played new music from Dilated Peoples, Aloe Blacc, Sam Lachow, Big K.R.I.T., PARTYNEXTDOOR, Majid Jordan, BJ The Chicago Kid, MF Doom, BANKS, and more. That week marked the 3 year anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s passing, so we played a throwback set in her honor. RIP to one of the greatest voices ever. Lastly, we aired part of our interview with Black Milk. If you didn’t see the whole thing, you can peep the video right here. Lots of good, exclusive info about his new album, don’t sleep.
Two SNSS updates back to back! Here’s episode #477, where we played new records from Camp Lo, M.O.P., Cormega, AZ, Redman, Styles, G-Unit, Common, DTMD, Your Old Droog, Macklemore, FKA twigs, Sam Smith, Majid Jordan, and more. In honor of Jay-Z and Beyonce performing in Seattle last week…and obviously not seeing him perform some of his older classics…we hopped in the way back machine for a throwback set of some Jay-Z classics. The man has so much quality material, it’s really ridiculous when you start thinking about all the records…
We were also joined in studio by one of the most buzz-worthy artists in hip-hop right now, Seattle’s own Sam Lachow. Every month, another major label calls me to ask about Sam, but so far, he’s been able to build everything up independently. It’s a great route if you can do it and Sam’s excelling, with his new album, Huckleberry, reaching the iTunes top 5 hip-hop albums. Go cop that.
Last, but not least, Seattle veteran Draze came through to play a record called “The Hood Ain’t The Same,” and speak on the important issue of gentrification. One of the more enjoyable conversations we’ve had on the show recently.
