La shot over this loosie yesterday, or the day before, fuck it I can’t remember, it’s too hot out. Produced by Jester sometime in 2009, “So Good” is about a bomb-ass girl. The Colonel has nothing to do whatsoever with this joint, it’s just there was no track artwork and the image you see above is the second one that comes up when Google image searching “so good”.

Sol revealed the first single from his upcoming Eyes Open EP (due September 10, 2013) yesterday. “Jump In” was produced by longtime collaborators the Zillas (Elan Wright and Nima Skeemz) and illustrates the close relationship Sol has with music. You could almost call it matrimonial.

Two white guys talking about hip hop on the “biggest” rap station in the country. The sky is fucking falling.
GMK’s positive mental attitude is infallible. After a weekend of bad news and a Monday of somber processing, a collection of instrumentals is probably the only adequate way of getting back to the grind.

The upwardly mobile Sam Lachow goes in over some familiar (and not so familiar) beats.

Tacoma’s Rockwell Powers and DJ Phinisey are gearing up to release a new record called Build this October. “Two Sides” is the first drop and with it comes this video, a compilation of photographs taken by Scott Haydon around the duo’s beloved city.
Tip of the hat to Lake House Entertainment‘s RoofDogg who passed along the crew’s latest video, “Steve Jobz”, a tribute to the man of the song’s title and a lament over the loss of the LHE’s famed Lake Washington home — damn you, reverse mortages! Here’s hoping the idiosyncratic collective finds some new digs soon.
