Macklemore- Wings

Macklemore finally lets loose the video to Wings, a heartful look at kicks, specifically Jordans. The video was directed by Zia Mohajerjasbi, and off of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' VS. EP. Definitely worth the five and a half minutes of your time.

Blue Scholars- Cinemetropolis

If you read this blog, it is likely that you know Blue Scholars, and have caught some wind of their new album, Cinemetropolois. By asking for donations through a Kickstarter campaign, Geo and Sabzi got funding for the project directly from fans and rewarded them by sending the cd to homes today. For the rest of us, myself included, download it and wait to June 14th for the physical cd. The cd itself is actually pretty interesting, as every track is named after an influential figure, be it a political actor, a film maker, or a pothead. The weed song, called Tommy Chong, features fellow Seattleite (is that correct? I hope not) Macklemore spit about chronic through "wikipedia raps". Check it out here, as well as the title track, Cinemetropolis. You guys might get a album review on this one now that Pete and I have graduated and have a lot of time on our hands to live at home apply for jobs we are way overqualified for.
