The Physics - High Society

THE PHYSICS - HIGH SOCIETY [CLICK & DOWNLOAD] via The Physics

Featuring guest appearances by beastly Seattle MCs Language Arts (“Back Track”) and Macklemore (“Good”) as well as one of the year’s most buzzed about local duos, the fresh-as-all-hell females of Thee Satisfaction (“Radio Head”), High Society dims the lights on the laidback aesthetic established in Future Talk and invites the listener to get real grown—and enjoy it. While this EP may feel like a main course, don’t get it twisted: it’s merely just a taste of what’s to come, a prelude to an additional as-yet-untitled release slated for later in the summer.

Check out a very special edition of "Culture VI CRIBS" with 88-Keys. He shows us around his Harlem Penthouse!

Okay, so his Super actually let us use an empty penthouse in his building, so we decided to do a mock version of Cribs. You GOTTA see this - Keys is a funny dude!
He also talks about his friendship with Kanye West, and makes a HUGE announcement about Kanye (EXCLUSIVE!!), and even spits an old Kanye never-before-heard verse!

Death of Adam in stores now!

Shout out to Dilla without whom I wouldn't be making music....or at least hip-hop. It's all for the love. Straight up.

Choklate - Suns Out/Grown Folk VIDEO

2009-06-16T22:49:00.000-07:00

via daledock253

Wicked, wonderful stuff from Choklate -- a record that we dig even more than the singer's great debut a few years before! If you're digging for underground soul, this set's definitely one to dig -- as it's one of that rare breed of record that grabs you from the start, and makes your smile grow wide with the satisfaction of unearthing an undiscovered funky nugget! The beats are crisp, but always understated -- and there's a nice electric crackle alongside the keys -- never too much, just a touch of cosmic energy that makes the whole thing sparkle wonderfully -- setting a wonderful scene for Choklate's vocals as they slide in smoothly to the mix.

Moore (Sunday Night Sound Session - KUBE 93.3 FM/Theaudacityofdope.com).

Check it out as B-Mello holds it down for the team with music from Seattle's own Blue Scholars, J.Pinder, and a track off of Jake One's upcoming album with Freeway!
