Seattle’s King of Multimedia, Chase Jarvis, facilitates a meditative discussion on hip-hop between Seattle’s King of Liberal Highbrow, Charles Mudede, and the King of Self-Righteous Rap (in a good way), RA Scion.

VIDEO: “I Got Love For You” (Meez)
Seatown as Gangsta-land? 2-0-6 oh-gee Meez knows that side of our picture-perfect hamlet exists.
VIDEO: “Two Five Three” (Fice)
Macklemore did The Six proper with “The Town” and now South Sound rhyme animal Fice attempts to carry his area code’s weight with “Two Five Three.” This clip doesn’t have Zia’s midas touch, but it does the job. Nice look with the I.T. cameo.
(The sample here is easy breezy, but I think D. Black used it better on “This Is Why.”)
VIDEO: “Shutterbug” (Big Boi f/Cutty)
Muppets, Cadillacs and keg cups. Oh yeah, and fine-looking women. It must be Big Boi, playa.
(Hey, isn’t that Keri Hilson? She’s purrrty…)
VIDEO: “Spliff Remix (BTS)” (Sol f/Grynch, Prometheus Brown & Thig Natural)
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…
VIDEO: “Got Ya Numb” (Wizdom & Grynch)
Jon Augustavo behind the lens. MTK on the beat. Wizdom and Grynch on the bars.
DOWNLOAD: “Slow Down (Sabzi Remix)” (Bambu f/Prometheus Brown)
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)…
VIDEO: “High School Sweetheart” (JFK)
JFK loses the girl, but wins at life. Jake on the beat. Building Wings On The Way Down is the album.
VIDEO: “Yesterday Was Nice” (GMK f/Royce The Choice & Young Murph)
#LatePass. Seattle misses the Golden Mic King, but he looks like he’s having fun in Cali, so we can’t be all mad.
