Blue Scholars on Rawkus
I love these guys… one DJ and one MC. Maybe it’s because they are from Seattle, home of my alma mater, the UW. Or maybe it’s because they talk about the sights and sounds of Seattle in almost every song they do. Or maybe the lyrics resonate with my social justice soul. Anyway, the point of this blog entry is to tell all you hip hop fans out there on the West Coast to go out and see the Blue Scholars. They’ll be touring with Common Market and Gabriel Teodros.
One bit of good and bad news is that the Blue Scholars signed with Rawkus. That’s good because it means more people will hear about them and they’ll probably tour out here. The bad news for us is that we probably won’t be able to play any of the music off their new album Bayani on this station. According to the Three Imaginary Girls, they are slated to release their first album on Rawkus on June 12. Hopefully, they’ll come out to Boston to do a show. Rock Rock On.
