DOWNLOAD: “BFA Say” – Brothers From Another (prod. by Sabzi)

Click track artwork for D/L link.

Brothers From Another are really bubbling right now. On their last project, Two Weeks Vacation, they held it down admirably with Town maestro Vitamin D (who, I think I read somewhere, is related to Goonstar) on “Midnight Special,” one of the best SEA tracks from 2010 (and heard on 206UP.COM’s Town Movement Mixtape available for the price of three clicks, here — tell a friend). On “BFA Say” they get an assist from another 206 stalwart, Sabzi. BFA’s next project, Quality of Living, drops on September 1.

VIDEO: “Beeba Vision Part II” – Brothers From Another

Who says today’s youth is lost? Perhaps the most impressive thing about Brothers From Another, the SEA duo comprised of Breez and Goonstar, is how relatively calm and collected they seem compared to their other similarly-aged counterparts in the rap game. I caught BFA opening for Blue Scholars a few weeks ago at Neumos and their charming and energetic performance to a packed house seemed like second nature to them. This new clip for “Beeba Vision Part II” catches them doing what they do best: rapping with a breezy nonchalance, with styles rooted in a simple yet classic brand of hip-hop. Even brighter things are on the horizon for this crew.

DOWNLOAD: The Becoming – Antbeezy

Click album cover for Bandcamp D/L.

The homie Antbeezy dropped his first mixtape project yesterday. Aside from being the tallest Filipino you will probably ever meet in your life (dude is 6’4″!), this young ‘un shows promising heart and hustle. His high-pitched, rapid-fire flow has come a long way since he first hit me up on the blog back in October ’09. The Becoming features a nice set of guest bars from Sol and Brothers From Another.

Peep a mini-feature on the MC by Detooz Films:

SHOW REVIEW: Blue Scholars Cinemetropolis Album Release Party @ Neumos on 6.18.11

Photo by Canh Solo

At Saturday’s sold-out Cinemetropolis Album Release Party, the second of a two-night run at Neumos, Blue Scholars had Seattle hip-hop fans eating out of their proverbial hands, as has been the case at all of the duo’s local shows for the last six years or so. The energetic all ages crowd followed Geo and Sabzi’s lead for nearly an hour and a half as the crew marched through a set list heavy on new material with a few select older favorites.

DOWNLOAD: Two Weeks Vacation EP – Brothers From Another

I jacked this photo from BFA's website. So sue me.

Brothers From Another (BFA) found time between college courses to drop this brief and very dope EP, Two Weeks Vacation. TWV marks the third EP release from Breez and Goonstar all of which can be copped for free at their website, here. These dudes are young but have already mastered the art of don’t-try-to-do-too-much, aka. be-who-you-are, aka. stay-in-your-motherf-ckin-lanes. If they remain linked for the long run, expect even greater things.

Streaming below is a track off the EP called “Midnight Special” which features Vitamin D (!!!). Witness how BFA hang with one of the SEA’s greatest of all time. The fact that they actually sound like they belong on a track with the OG Vita is one hell of a statement.

DOWNLOAD: “No Shirt” (Brothers From Another)

“We go front back and around the globe/Put your hands in the air if you’re ready to roll,” declare Breez and Goonstar, the two young bucks of don’t-call-em-kiddie-rap-outfit, Brothers From Another.

Around the globe, really? Let’s just shoot for “around the Puget Sound” first and see what happens, okay fellas? Still, BFA is a breath of fresh air; their style is of the throwback West Coast variety and they always sound like they’re smiling in their raps.

Justo makes the beat here. A throwaway track for him certainly, but it gets the job done for BFA. Click below for the download, fam.

DOWNLOAD: “The Becoming (Intro)” (Antbeezy) & “Holla” (Antbeezy & BFA)

A young local cat looking to find his voice and place in Seattle’s crowded hip-hop market, Antbeezy, and fellow baby brethren like Brothers From Another, are looking to go straight from high school to the pros.

Success will probably be fleeting at first, but it should be interesting to see who emerges an All-Star. Download the first track, “The Becoming” off Antbeezy’s forthcoming mixtape of the same name:

(UPDATE: 2.18.10, 8:40 am) Antbeezy and BFA linked up for this track, “Holla.” A little something to look forward to at the 80’s Babies show tomorrow night. Click below to download:

BFA have already rocked a few shows around Town, but this one might be their best look yet. Catch Breez and Goonstar (and ‘Beezy, too) at the 80’s Babies benefit show in the U-District. According to this flyer, Macklemore and Blue Scholars will be there. Oh, word?! Check it out this week on the 19th!
