Fresh Espresso ::: photo by Josh Lovseth Courtesy of the Seattle Weekly and REVERBFEST happening this Saturday, the all-ages stage situated at the New York Fashion Academy on Ballard Avenue might be the most exciting single day of local hip hop on a single stage this city has seen all year.

The 2009 REVERBfest will take over Ballard on Sat Oct 3rd, filling 10 neighborhood venues (including 4 all-ages) many of which, like The Sunset and Hattie's Hat, are Ballard institutions while others, like the Salmon Bay Eagles Club and New York Fashion Academy are transforming themselves just for the event.

Now, I know it's a pretty big claim, but I [...]

I'm not exactly breaking any news here, so chances are you fly honeys have heard and read all about this record on those other, more popular blogs. In any event, I'll take the afforded opportunity to add my two cents. The first proper collaboration between MC Rik Rude and producer/MC P Smoov - "debut" just doesn't seem fitting-the 14-track multifarious record signals a new [...]

Their debut LP Glamour has been locally turning heads, and at an undisclosed location this weekend we were finally [...]
Mad Rad ::: photo by Abbey Simmons Considering the epic weekend of music that awaits us Seattle, I wouldn't blame you if you took off Monday and Tuesday to prepare your ear drums, liver, feet, and wallet for Capitol Hill Block Party. In fact, that's exactly what I'll be doing. But, there's no rest for the [...]
