Well, being on vacation is not conducive to keeping up regular posts on the blog, so, apologies to those who read me on the regular and have caught me slippin’ as of late. Plus, I am without my personal laptop and regular access to the internet, so I’ve mostly been Twittering and nothing really beyond that. The ironic part of all this is that I’m finally back home in Seattle, where the hip-hop that I write about is actually happening, and yet I haven’t had time to really partake of the scene.

Anyway, I’m on my way to Easy Street Records (Queen Anne) to catch up on my local record browsing. I’ll probably cop a few discs while I’m there including a *ahem* legitimate copy of Glamour (BTW, I swear my full review of Fresh Espresso’s seminal work is coming soon…).

For now, click here for Seattle’s flavor of the week, a track called “Robin Hood” by local hero Tay Sean. It goes nice with this 90-degree weather and an iced tall Americano from El Diablo.

Now, which bag did I pack my iPod in??…
