For a limited time only, Scribes is offering a FREE download of his new LP, What Was Lost. Get with that here, or click the album cover above for the D/L link. For those not familiar with dude, it’s definitely worth your time and minimal effort. What Was Lost is high quality straight-forward boom-bap and Scribes’ expert in-the-pocket flow sets him apart from the greater majority of Town rappers.
Look for a full album Review coming soon on 206UP.COM.
Portland’s DJ Jacks Green with a brief four-track salute to Northwest hip-hop. Sol, Scribes and Geo provide bars on three of the tracks (previous post: “Kickitwitchu” featuring Sol). It’s FREE, so why wouldn’t you click?
Got-damn this track reminds me of a joint I heard years ago, but f-ck all if I can’t remember what it is. Something about the tone in that keyboard…Anyway, Scribes leaked this about a week ago. It’s the first track off his forthcoming LP, What Was Lost (dropping 2.4.11). Bean on the beat. JFK on the guest bars. Scribes sounds loose and ready to hang with the major SEA players, talkin’ about that age-old dilemma so many rappers (and any artists for that matter) face: “Wantin’ cheese/But I really want the songs that change/It’s the soul on the top of the game.”

2Pac, Scribes is not, but at least he knows it. This in-the-wind dedication to pulling shorties borrows a hook from Mr. Thug Life. The track feels like the mid-90’s and the video looks like the Seattle summer. Directed by (who else?) Jon Augustavo, from the Summertime Sampler EP.

Ever wonder what it would sound like if you dropped three Seattle emcees in a European nightclub, cued-up a techno-infused pop/dance track, and let them spit bars over it? Producer Jack the Ripper’s new single, “Don’t Look Back,” helps answer that question.
