three7: Welcome to the...

Good things coming out of the Mighty Northwest. Had a chance to attend the Luck-One album release party last weekend at the Crown Room – great to see luck holding it down for the NW. As always Luck put on a great show with DJ Gen-Erik on the tables and Mac Smiff hyping the crowd as they shared cuts from Beautiful Music, True Theory Outtakes and the full release True Theory. Check out the latest from Luck at his site Luck-One.

Later in the weekend got a chance to connect with Sapient of Sandpeople as he put together the new video for Grown Up from his latest release Barrels For Feathers. The concept for the video is… well I won’t spoil the surprise, just know that the visuals are nice with some familiar faces from the Portland scene…, and little people. Keep up with Sape at his site here Sapient.

On Tuesday, the the long awaited return of Fresh Selects finally arrived with the release of The Green tape featuring Illmaculate of Sandpeople and G-Force of TxE and guest spots from some of the nicest MC’s in the PDX. Check it out here at  Fresh Selects and be sure to stay connected – lots of cool stuff coming in the near future from th homie Kenny Fresh.

On Tuesday night, had another great show on 107.1FM with KZME’s Welcome to the Neighborhood. If you missed it, I played brand new music from Cool Nutz upcoming album, music from The Green Tape, a classic cut from the Lifesavas and more. Be sure to tune in every Tuesday night from 9-11pm and you can even stream it here: 107.1FM You can also catch up on missed shows via the podcast here: WTTN Podcast where you can hear interviews with Serge Severe, Slimkid3 and Spice 1.

Speaking of Spice 1, he’ll be back in Portland on 4/20 doing a show at the T & A Event Center. Spice talked about the new album whan he was in studio and this is the release party he promised.
Was chillin’ with the homie Theory Hazit of Humble Beast Records  and he let me hear some of the new material he has coming in a minute. If you’ve been listening WTTN you know I give Theory much airplay, but believe me, you haven’t heard anything like this from Theory before - definitely on some next level.

Other events coming up, on Wednesday the 20th is the final installment of The Neck Brace VII Showcase at the Someday Lounge put on by Dave Notti featuring some of the Northwest’s best producers  this is a can’t miss event as Notti is shutting it down after this one. On Saturday April 30th it’s the Destro Album Release and video premiere party at Slabtown.

That’s it for now y’all. More news coming next month, God willing.

Be blessed,

Klyph.
