I pooped myself...figuratively not literally

Wait, what? Where the fuck? Why the hell does my leg hurt? Apparently Fireball, Miller High Life, Bud Light and Red Stripe when combined in the bloodstream does not end up well. It seems to make you do awful, dumb stupid things like hit on fat chicks and cane your buddies in the back of the knee with a drumstick like he was Lloyd fucking Christmas. Seriously, I am still dealing with the pain.
What, might you ask, is the cause of all this fuckery? The circumstances surrounding these events can be directly linked to to the arrival of two people: 1) the infamous Brainslice and 2) the whiskey fueled entity known as Prof to the 206. These two being cooped up in separate airports for a day, while those of us here were pounded by Snopocalypse 2112, and then driving that morning from Portland only added fuel to the fire.
I was outside bullshittin with Brainslice for the first couple openers, I mean the dude got off an airplane into a car, drove to Seattle got out of the car and into another car to go to the show. We had some catchin up and drinkin to do so by the time Prof it the stage...it was on. The energy he and DJ Fundo bring to the stage is crazy and had people bouncin and actin a fool. Prof soon spazzed and tongue wagged his way into hearts of the crowd...and then broke it with songs like "Myself" and "Karma". The blues infused "Whiskey" brought the show back to a happy medium.  Before finally blowing the roof off with , "Animal", and "Yeah Buddy". Man I tell you, seein Prof was long overdue. I know Catch was PISSED that he didn't get to hear "Anomaly"...boofuckinghoo. Despite all the bullshit that it took to get to the show, the beating that I took during and after the show, and the hangover I had to endure the next morning...it was all worth it! So much so that Brainslice and I decided to head to Mill Creek the next night and catch the show again. I'm definitely glad I did, thanks to Mike (Prof's manager) for getting us on the list. The venue was nice, but the vibe was a bit off ..by "off" I mean I couldn't tell if the people were there for the show, the club, or to sit in the booths at the back and have dinner. No worries though, Grieves, Prof, and Mike provided some great entertainment.  These guys separate are funny, put them together...gold. I mean, check out the Stophouse You Tube channel and Prof's twitter beef with John Stamos and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I will say though that when Prof hit the stage things got turn up with much the same playlist as the night before.

Check out a couple videos from the Mill Creek show...Brainslice, Catch and I were too drunk to get any in Seattle. First is "Myself" and the second is "Yeah Buddy".

Sol - 2020 (Video)

This is exactly the Sol that I have known and liked...not all that "frat rap" that he was doing this summer. I dig the visuals for this joint too (minus the obligatory "weed" scene). 2020 is the from his album "Yours Truly" dropping January 20th with a show at Neumos. Check it out:

Clear Soul Forces - Get No Better (Video)

So the dudes hit us up a couple weeks ago with Bubble Space just to whet our whistle in preparation for this week. In the wee hours of the morning Clear Soul Forces dropped the first official single from "Detroit Revolution(S)", and in video form no less. Get No Better is dope, the video is simple and got that "old school stand on top of a building and spit" kinda vibe...oh wait. Hahaaa, check it out below and holla at'em on Twitter and let 'em on know what you think. "Detroit Revolution(S)" drops March 13th...

Say it ain't so Joe...

Well not Joe, Joe...what I really meant was Luck-One. After dropping a video for Farewell Luck announced via Twitter, if you didn't get it from the video, that this may be his last year in the "game". Damn, like Barry Sanders in his prime.... By the way, I really hate rap referred to as "the game".  I hate it even more that I just used "the game" reference, but oh well. Luck has become one of my favorite from the NW over the past year with the release of his albums "True Theory" and "King Of The Northwest". The dude from Portland can really spit and from what I hear is a real good dude as well. The song is dope and the video is simple and to the point. Check it out below, and as always, hope over to the bandcamp and check out the other goodies.

Brother Ali - Writer's Block (Video)

While Brother Ali and Jake One put the finishing touches on their forthcoming album, "Mourning In America and Dreaming In Color", they decided to drop off a video and free download for Writer's Block. I can always get down with some Brother Ali...and with Jake One on the slaps. Wow. Check out the video below and hit the link to download.

Random - Lookin' Up (Video)

Awww shit, another homie from AZ by way of Philly, Random AKA MegaRan, dropped off a new video in the wee hours of the morning. The track, Lookin' Up, is off his recently released "Mega Ran 10". Check out the video and go here after to purchase the album. Ran, I'm a bit disappointed that there was not a "Harley Quinn" sighting in this one...ehhh...maybe next time.



Oh, and if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times...get rid of those extra schmedium t-shirts!

Say that then...PREACH.

It's a new year and cats seem to be coming around again and my guy RoQy TyRaiD is another one of them. While standing in the crowd at Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival's Show and Prove Super Bowl he and I started choppin it up about anything and everything. Since then we have kept in touch and he dropped of a track from his upcoming project, "Project: Ark Of Arts", titled PREACH. This dude from Arizona can spit. Hit the link to download then head over to his bandcamp to check out more. Seattlites, Mr. TyRaiD will also be performing on Feburary 18th as part of the 206 Zulu Nation's Anniversary Celebration. Stay tuned for more details.

Clear Soul Forces - Bubble Space

This past summer I had the opportunity to attend the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival and if you read our little spot on the innanets then you may remember me making mention of a group of gentlemen from Detroit that competed in the Show And Prove Super Bowl at BHF. Clear Soul Forces, comprised of Wimpy, J-Roc, E-Fav, and Ilajade, have been hard in the lab working on their debut album "Detroit Revolution(S)" now with a release date of March 13. In the mean time, they will be dropping a few leaks just to keep us thirsting for more...and not that kind of "thirst" either (way hetero). The first is a Dibia$e produced joint, Bubble Space. You can hit up their bandcamp and check out some of their older stuff..."Clear Soul Radio" still gets much play.

Back in October the guys dropped a video for Strangers In The Night, again, as a prelude to #REVO. Check it out below. You can also hit them on Twitter or Facebook for more info. Peace.

The Good Sin - 7th Day Breakup

Damn has it really been that long since we got something up here...maybe we need to make a New Year's resolution. Anyway, while trolling around Twitter this morning and relishing in the fuckery that is not my life (thank you little baby Jesus) I came across some tweets from The Good Sin. He was gettin all philosophical, as he tends to do, about "wifey vs. wife" among other things. Which led him to drop an unreleased joint, 7th Day Breakup, produced by Brainstorm of Dyme Def. It's an older joint, but a nice one.

The Good Sin - 7th Day Breakup

While you're here, you may as well check out the new video he dropped for The Crown. This track was featured on his "Late" EP that he put out earlier this year with 10.4 Rog. It was a dope listen, if you haven't got it yet head over here and pick it up.

They're baaaaaaack...and they still don't give a YUK.

The long awaited and highly anticipated new album from Dyme Def and BeanOne is finally here...get the iTunes deluxe edition complete with 24 previously unreleased, unheard, and/or remixed tracks. What? That is fucking Bananas...notice the capital "B". You can cop the album here. The dudes also dropped a video for "Blue Moons And Green Lights". This joint was produced by that guy Brainstorm and the video was shot and edited by BeanOne...they keeps it all in house. Peep:
