Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Talk About The Beautiful Northwest
+10“You have the best of all worlds…on a sunny day.”
Truth.
“Macklemore and Ryan Lewis discuss what it was like growing up in Seattle’s outdoors. Watch as they discuss growing up on Capitol Hill in Seattle and how nature’s beauty influenced them. Macklemore describes how he started rapping and freestyling when he was hanging out at parks at night. Spending time outdoors is what shaped him, how will it shape you?
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis want to know, ‘What Would You Do For Earth?’”

All Too Well (Album) – Wingate
+30The lowkey Portland native Wingate spent a year and a half working on his album, All Too Well, which he released today for free on Soundcloud. Much different than the majority of local underground rap, the NBG emcee/producer approaches rap from a more sensitive angle. Definitely the kind of music you throw on in the whip after the club when you’re riding around with some freaks and ask, “Y’all ever heard of Wingate?”
We wish ‘Gate the best in his recent relocation to LA. Follow your dreams, young fella. #OutHere

Throwback Thursday: 76 Nova – Cool Nutz
+30Before he was the big boss of the city, Cool Nutz was dropping Harsh Game For The People.
16 years later, the big homie is still at it. In case you haven’t peeped his latest project Bars yet, I’m throwing that in below. The title track, produced by Terminill, is probably my favorite. Bars also showcases features from Arjay, Maniak Loc and Oakland’s Nightclubber Lang.
Check it out! #BARS #OutHere
