Blessed by Kuddie Fresh (on the boards) and Choklate (on the hook), J. Pinder jumps into a half-empty glass on “Sky Is Falling”. It ain’t all bad, J, your Code Red EP is still hot and the Seattle weather is looking up!

Who the f*ck is YUK? It’s Fearce Villain (Dyme Def) and BeanOne (206 Superproducer), a creative alliance forged to promote music and tees (available exclusively at GOODS, Seattle). Get hip now.

I love the lush production on this joint from Sol’s latest FREE EP, Dear Friends, Vol II. Cop it at the homie’s website here. Like Thig Nat, I don’t smoke, but I understand why people do…
Dyme Def’s Sex Tape EP is now set to drop on 6.1.10. Here’s the latest leak, “Do it Better”, produced by Tha Bizness. Good look on the T.I.T.S. Clothing hustle, fellas. Unfortunately many of the graphics are unsuitable for my office…

Get acquainted with Bent Twig, a duo out of Camarillo, CA who are quietly establishing themselves in the Pacific Northwest hip-hop scene. Their release party for The Asymmetry of Life (reviewed here by 206UP.COM), is this Thursday night (5.27.10) at High Dive in Fremont.
Sol might be the most amiable battle-rapper in Seattle. He’ll cut your wack-ass up with a laser-precise flow and then call you “Dear Friend” when you’re lying on the floor. That’s cold, fam. Click on the cover below to download the FREE EP, Dear Friends, Vol II.

Yet another #LatePass. See what happens when yo ass goes on vacation? All the dope internet drops get overlooked…Maybe I need to hire a second-in-command, hmm…
Anyway, I just got around to hearing this one. Sabzi turns the beat into the star here, fierce-ing up the synths and playing up that sexy British dame to full effect. Oh yeah, Bambu and Pro Brown are still aight, too. Ha!

And in case you missed the original (prod. by MTK)…
#LatePass. F*ck you, Arizona. F*ck you, Joe Arpaio. I’m especially feelin’ Pro Brown on this one. It’s a damn shame that PE’s “By The Time I Get To Arizona” has been made so relevant once again…

Local emcees Kadence and Nik P (together known as Curiosity Corner) recently dropped their first mixtape, Better Late Than Never. It’s a promising first showing with a pleasing, laid-back West Coast texture. Though the lyrics are a little derivative at times, the two rappers both display nice agility on the mic and spit like they’re hungry. Click on the album cover below for the download.
