“Big Bro” is the second drop from Fatal Lucciauno’s upcoming Respect (street date: February 21 on Sportn’ Life Records). Cliched rap terms like “thug poet” and “‘hood philosopher” get thrown around a lot these days, but I don’t know of any other MC in Seattle that fits the mold better than Fatal. In fact, I don’t know if Seattle has ever had a better representative to these classifications. Don’t take my word for it, though. Go ask an OG head.
Tacoma’s The BreakLites with a clip from their latest EP, Rapface. I thought I was the only one left who’s never owned a pair of Jordans. Go figure.

Do-what-I-gotta-do rap from Northwest upstart Donte Peace. Check for his The Transition Tape. Right. Here:
I like to think of Nacho Picasso hunched over his vintage typewriter, plunking away at his latest nard-core (that’s “nerd” + “hard”) gangsta tome. Something like the Black Hunter S, shroomed-up and isolated, but ready for whatever the next day’s sun illuminates. Welcome to the underground rap life.
Big beat rap and Town representation by Khingz. This track is from 2010’s Khake & Khool-Aid. See about it below.
