Ra Scion from Common Market made his own little sequel if you will. Greatness inspires greatness around here apparently. Good to see.

Blue Scholars x Common Market x Everett Theatre Saturday the 18th
Blue Scholars with Common Market
8 p.m. Saturday the 18th, Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett; 425-258-6766, www.everetttheatre.org; tickets are $16.50.
The everett theatre is hurtin for cash, so they decided to throw a huge concert with two of the biggest names in Seattle hip-hop. Good idea.
You also have to have ticket sales. The 834-seat theater needs to bring in 300 people to cover the cost of the Blue Scholars show, Beeson said.
"We can't do anything but break even, because there's nothing to fall back on," he said.
With 140 tickets sold as of Monday, success is not yet in hand. If the show falters, however, it won't be for a lack of trying. Capon and his friends plan to hand out as many as 5,000 fliers. They set up a table at the Everett Mall on Sunday, and on Monday, hit Everett Community College.

MANOJ from Zia Mohajerjasbi on Vimeo.
Local Filmmaker ZIA (who works on most of the important Seattle Hip-Hop Music Videos) has a new film out that's been in and around festivals over the last year, and now finally available on the Internet!
Big shout out to Zia who worked with Henry and I on multiple things and stay tuned for The Emerald City film to be on the internet in a few months as well, so long as Henry stays with his current plan he told me a while ago.

Common Market - Gol' Dust
Matt sent this over early in the day but I was caught up and didn't have time to post it until now. I thought some of the other homies would get to it first but I guess not. Common Market is definitely in my opinion THE BEST live performances in Seattle. The fact that I have to miss Rock The Bells (same day as my brothers wedding) and the Fact that CM always tears it up is probably the only reason I'm thinking of getting tickets for Bumbershoot.
They're new album, Tobacco Road comes out September 9th. A MUST cop!
Download: Gol' Dust
Check them out on Myspace as well.
