Check out the latest video from area MC PROPS, “The Taste of Heaven.” The most creative, visually stunning music video from any SEA-based artist not named Shabazz Palaces. Give this a look, it’s worth the time, folks.
From the upcoming High As The Stars: The Planet of MARz mixtape, hosted by Vitamin D, coming early summer.

Vitamin D makes harder beats than anyone in the SEA, that’s just a fact. Up-and-coming MC Rebel nabs five of ’em here, the highlight of which is “Light Up (Shit You Like)” featuring Cole of Brothers From Another (who also show up in unison on “Outta Yo Mind”) and Antbeezy (delivering a rewind-worthy double-time verse). Aside from his tight-knit connection to Vita, Rebel has a lot going for him including a diverse flow and above-average technical skills. Definitely worth keeping your ears open for.
Friday is Free Day at 206UP.COM, the day where I post whatever the hell I want, free of the encumbrances of Seattle’s small (but totally awesome) hip-hop scene and clear to wander elsewhere through the nation’s rap wilderness. I’ve done a better job at keeping up on new music so far in 2012 than probably any year prior, so allow me to pat myself on the back…
Ahh, that felt nice. Here then is a list of the five best albums (in no particular order) consumed by my ears three months inside the uno-dos:

Brooklyknight – Sene
Bell Hooks – BBU

“For The Birds,” the latest drop from Cloud Nice formation Kingdom Crumbs, “explores the possibility of flight and astral travel.” So yeah, watch the skies, fam.
