Hometown Heroes: Brendan Foster

RIP to the kid. He should be a HUGE inspiration to everyone. I'm happy that he was from here. I wish I could have met him or something, he seems so fearless from this video alone.



Thanks Brendan. RIP.

And SINCE I didn't do the hard work in digging all these up, I'm about to get another one for you hopefully tonight in time for all your halloween adventures.

Hometown Heroes: (Mercedes) McClarron - Freestyle

What I look like not putting on my own? Shiiit. If 2dopeboyz don't want him on their west coast mixtape, that means more exclusive joints for me. BOYCOTT!! lol just kidding. They're sleepin tho.

McClarron - Freestyle

*Produced by a guy named DERT. We have no idea who it is. We found his (your?) random beat tape on the internet (the seattle situation), so we swiped it. I'll make a missing persons post for him later with the album cover.

but DERT. If you're out there. Holler if you hear me.

Grynch - 2dopeboyz Freestyle

Grynch got featured on their site as "2dope to sleep on" and they decided to hook up for a little exclusive joint. Swiper no Swiper'd from Shake. DJ Slimm on the mix.

The Grynch - 2Dobeboyz Freestyle

Seattle 1, Your City 0.

Grynch will be featured @ Bumbershoot Aug 30 2008 2:15P on the Fisher Green Stage.

Hometown Heroes: The Saturday Knights

Just trying to top off an incredible SEATTLE night. These two emcees (Tilson and Barfly) and producer (DJ Suspence) are from our way of town. They are giving their album away for FREE. They just want some feedback, your email address and some love. Don't worry they're not going to send you very much gay porn either. So it's legit. I'm gonna bang the whole album and then come back with some more on this.

Catch them at BUMBERSHOOT on the 31st annnnnd the Fergie concert in puyallup on sept 16th. Fergie? lol. Oh well. Check out their Myspace as well.

Hometown Heroes: Jae Hoffa - A Millie

This dude is from Seattle and is fuxin wit Young Buck, which means he's probably down with B. Brown who produced the 50 diss track about the phone call. Umm, just search back in our posts. Or check the similar tags, you'll see.

Now here's the deal. This dude is pretty dope, and I love to see that coming from local talent. At the same time. If I hear another mothafucka from Seattle try to claim some hard shit, I'm gonna flip. Seattle IS NOT HARD! Matter fact. Lemme finish this post.
