Blue Scholars’ new video for “Slick Watts” is a pantheon of northwest hip-hop cameos — the food and Townfolk variety. Jordan Nicholson helmed the high-def for this one. Chances are good you’ve seen dude’s lens work on other local music sites. I implore you to Google further.

VIDEO: “Keep it Sweet” – Mac Shine (feat. Nacho Picasso)
Videos run the world today. Mac Shine (one fourth of swag rap crew The Mile Fly Club) with a clip for “Keep it Sweet.” Town movers and shakers Nacho Picasso (bars) and Sam Lachow (lens) put in work too.
(New York City fam: Make sure to watch Sam do his thing at the Highline Ballroom, August 19.)

VIDEO: “Kiss of the Dragon” – Shao Sosa (feat. Arjay)
Shao Sosa is a Vietnamese MC from the Tri-Cities and rather than attempt to plagiarize his lengthy biography, I’ll just link to it here for perusal at your own pace.
His new video for “Kiss of the Dragon” showed up in my inbox a couple days ago. It’s a surprisingly watchable and entertaining clip that attempts and succeeds at mashing-up video game and kung-fu kitsch. Delightfully low-budget and indulgent (the thing clocks in at over eight minutes long, at least three and a half of which are head-scratching credit sequences), there’s nary a discernible plot. That might, however, be the point.
VIDEO: “Agonia” – Bocafloja (feat. Gabriel Teodros & Hollis Wong-Wear)
Bocafloja is a Mexican MC with strong ties to Seattle by way of frequent collaborator and Town representative Gabriel Teodros. “Agonia” features assists from GT and Canary Sing’s Hollis Wong-Wear.
You are what you eat and we are increasingly unsure of what that is. Does Monsanto run the world? At least partially.
VIDEO: “No Fault Of Mine” – J. Pinder (dir. by Trevor Traynor)
New dramatic clip from J. Pinder and director Trevor Traynor. “No Fault Of Mine” is off the MC’s latest, Careless, which I reviewed here for Potholes In My Blog.
VIDEO: “Never Cry Wolf” – Dark Time Sunshine (feat. Rita Devoe)
Fresh clip from Dark Time Sunshine off their latest, ANX, available here.
NEW MUSIC: Pisces – The Flavr Blue
Click album cover to purchase.
Hollis, Parker and Lace Cadence have formed like a disco ball-headed Voltron to bring you The Flavr Blue, everything you’ve been missing from an electro-pop/dance outfit based in Seattle. Their debut album, Pisces, is out today (read this blog’s thoughts on the project here) and they also dropped the first video from the project. Opening track “F x F” gets the high-def treatment by director Jon Augustavo: retaliation, revenge and get-back via girls’-night-out.
Go ahead, Seattle, you can dance now.
VIDEO: “Hot Box” – Jarv Dee
Jackin’ Jarv Dee goes full on in this new clip for “Hot Box,” off that Dopamine album you should’ve grabbed three months ago. Here’s your chance again:
