Jasper T. is a singer/songwriter and instrumentalist working on his first album, The Sweet Dark Pt. 1. “Julie” is an acoustic track from that collection featuring one of this blog’s favorite MCs from the 253, John Crown. Word is the two will be working on a collaborative project as well. It’s definitely something different than what we’re used to hearing from JC, but I think it’s pretty fresh.

Thanks to the homie Scribes for linking me to Aaron Cohen’s most recent mixtape, Murk, which was released late last year behind the formidable push of Mishka NYC. AC hails from Seward Park but now makes his home in Queens, New York. Seattle rap once again out the perimeter.
