DOWNLOAD: Only One Dice (The Mixtape) – Dice

Click album cover for D/L link.

206UP.COM has been looking forward to a full-length project from Dice (one of the most talented SEA-affiliated singer/MCs in town) for a while now. Peep the straining emotional depths she reaches on “Things I Couldn’t Say,” the first single from her forthcoming debut album, and then check how she sounds right at home spitting over Jay’s “Can’t Knock The Hustle” instrumental on “Jack.” Much of the production on Only One Dice is directed firmly at popular radio’s airwaves, but if everything on Clear Channel sounded as good as this all would be forgiven.

VIDEO: “Things I Couldn’t Say” – Dice

I only got hip to Dice within the last couple of months when she was featured on “For The Love,” a Valentine’s Day drop from Sol. She is, without a doubt, one of the most multi-talented artists Seattle’s hip-hop/R&B scene has right now.

“Things I Couldn’t Say” finds her rhyming and singing in such an emotive way she nearly becomes transparent. This video takes its cue from the PostSecret art project and features many of The Town’s hip-hop movers and shakers. Everything is done beautifully here, except for some of the placards — if only they’d written in thicker Sharpie.
