NEW MUSIC: “Mister Rogers (Remix)” – Grynch (feat. Slug & Bambu; prod. by Jake One)

The King of Ballard enlists the help of some famous friends for a remix to “Mister Rogers”. Slug, Bam and Jake on the track is one of the most formidable lineups in recent Seattle rap memory. (And Bam expressing his concern over getting got in one of the Town’s most affable ‘hoods is worth a hearty chuckle.)
For real though, shout-out to the good folks at La Carta de Oaxaca, still one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. And the mighty Than Brothers on Market. And the Majestic Bay Theatres, still the comfiest place to catch a flick in the Six. And the stylish but vastly overpriced Blackbird whose employees were mad helpful to my girl when she was tryna order me a dope Filson joint. Shit, man, Ballard is kinda filthy.
NEW MUSIC: “Secrets” – The Good Sin (feat. Blakk Soul, prod. by B Roc)

Amid all the Bitter Barista drama, Spekulation still found time to drop a single from his upcoming EP, Truth Be Told. “All The Soldiers” is a politically-charged lament concerning America’s obsession with violence. Let the holier-than-thou snark police at Sprudge find something wrong with this.

NEW MUSIC: Flowers For My Father – Sadistik
Click album cover to purchase at Circle Into Square.
Sadistik’s Twitter page lists “Suicide Capitol” as the MC’s current location. There’s a segment of area hip-hop artists who’ve been knowing it’s not all coffee shop philosophy and Alki barbecues under this perpetual cloud cover — count Sadistik as one of them. Flowers For My Father is an in memoriam of the dude’s padre who passed on after the MC’s debut in 2008 (The Balancing Act). This album is a bitter pill to swallow, a dichotomous answer to the half-full glasses Seattle rap fans are used to raising these days. It takes it all types, I say.
