NEW MUSIC: “Day Drink” – Brothers From Another (prod. by Flynt Renolds)
Just in time for tomorrow, Brothers From Another lose their phones and grass stain their kicks. “Day Drink” is the first in BFA’s “Adventures of Los Hermanos” singles series.
NEW MUSIC: “Dreams of Gold” – Sam Lachow (feat. Raz Simone & Ariana DeBoo)
Sam Lachow is preparing to release Huckleberry (August 1), the follow-up to his Brand New Bike, an unassuming but accomplished album that put the rapper/producer/videographer on the map in 2011. Since that LP’s release, Sam has made deft moves positioning himself as one of Seattle’s most promising hip hop artists, a common fixture on those dubious “next to blow” lists that fans of Seattle rap so love to ruminate on. “Dreams of Gold” is the first official drop from Huckleberry and it features longtime collaborators Raz Simone and Ariana DeBoo.
NEW MUSIC: Soviet Goonion 3 – Avatar Darko
Avatar Darko puts the hat trick on his Soviet Goonion mixtape series. Part 3 is up for your consideration now at this location. Preview the last two leaks below.
NEW MUSIC: “Two Lips (Roses)” – The Good Sin (prod. by Shri)
Seattle — but for now New York-based — rapper The Good Sin is on the verge of completing his next project which is titled Life Before. “Two Lips (Roses)” is the first leak from that effort and it will catch you off guard: over a stuttering, electronic production by Shri, Sinseer recounts lost love with a refreshing and raw honesty.
NEW MUSIC: “To: Nate Dogg” – Wanz (feat. Warren G, Grynch & Crytical)
Mr. Thrift Shop, Wanz, with a new single in honor of the late great Nate Dogg, the California rap crooner to whom Wanz is most often compared. This joint already rolls along nicely in a G-funk fashion, but to make matters even better Warren G, Grynch and Crytical all join in the tribute. Grab the track here.
NEW MUSIC: Euphoric Tape III – Blue Sky Black Death
Blue Sky Black Death’s third installment of their Euphoric Tape series is a compilation of instrumental joints that previously featured vocals by the likes of Nacho Picasso, Deniro Farrar and Skull and Bones. Now you can rap over these jawns, too! Lucky us. Not.
NEW MUSIC: Avalon – Chev
Chev is one of a handful of Town rappers that I feel like we never hear from enough, but when we do it’s always a welcome blessing. Thanks to him for hipping me to his newest project, Avalon, a week in advance of its release, but no snaps to me for sleeping on the post until now. Go grab it for free below. It’s a tribute to the Avalon Ridge housing complex in Renton as well as the anniversary of his father’s passing on Juneteenth (the day of the EP’s actual release).
NEW MUSIC: “#CAKE” – Shabazz Palaces
New ish from Ish and his transcendent Shabazz Palaces project. Lese Majesty arrives July 19 via Sub Pop Records.
NEW MUSIC: “Adventure Time” – Nacho Picasso (prod. by Raised byy Wolves)
Nacho Picasso, again playing the anti-hero with frequent collaborator Raised byy Wolves, is looking for some “Adventure Time” this weekend. Run for the hills. And hide your hoes*.
