VIDEO: “Pass You By” – Scribes
From Scribes’ most recent LP, What Was Lost, which you can grab for free here. Jon Jon gets behind the lens again on this clip.
WWL might go down as one of the most overlooked SEA rap albums of the year, so make sure to be cooler than your other friends and check it out.
VIDEO: “Greetings” (feat. Scribes) – Mike Folden
Seattle multimedia artist Mike Folden recently did a nice video profile on Scribes. I’ve never met dude, but he comes across as a thoughtful, intensely focused artist. Peep that above and download his latest full-length, What Was Lost, for free here. Scribes gets a great live look on June 10 when he opens for Pharoahe Monch at The Crocodile.

For those not familiar with dude, it’s definitely worth your time and minimal effort. What Was Lost is high quality straight-forward boom-bap and Scribes’ expert in-the-pocket flow sets him apart from the greater majority of Town rappers.

Portland’s DJ Jacks Green with a brief four-track salute to Northwest hip-hop. Sol, Scribes and Geo provide bars on three of the tracks (previous post: “Kickitwitchu” featuring Sol). It’s FREE, so why wouldn’t you click?
DOWNLOAD: “Monster” – Scribes f/JFK
Got-damn this track reminds me of a joint I heard years ago, but f-ck all if I can’t remember what it is. Something about the tone in that keyboard…Anyway, Scribes leaked this about a week ago. It’s the first track off his forthcoming LP, What Was Lost (dropping 2.4.11). Bean on the beat. JFK on the guest bars. Scribes sounds loose and ready to hang with the major SEA players, talkin’ about that age-old dilemma so many rappers (and any artists for that matter) face: “Wantin’ cheese/But I really want the songs that change/It’s the soul on the top of the game.”
VIDEO: “Roll My Way” (Scribes)
2Pac, Scribes is not, but at least he knows it. This in-the-wind dedication to pulling shorties borrows a hook from Mr. Thug Life. The track feels like the mid-90′s and the video looks like the Seattle summer. Directed by (who else?) Jon Augustavo, from the Summertime Sampler EP.

Ever wonder what it would sound like if you dropped three Seattle emcees in a European nightclub, cued-up a techno-infused pop/dance track, and let them spit bars over it? Producer Jack the Ripper’s new single, “Don’t Look Back,” helps answer that question.
