No Rest For The Weary - Blue Scholars

The Pacific Northwest has—in the past decade—become the bustling metropolis of hip hop music. From the Central District (“The CD”) of Seattle outward, names like Dyme Def, Jake One, Sweatshop Union, and Swollen Members have all blessed the game with their vibrantly incandescent verses. Perhaps the most recognizable, Common Market and Blue Scholars have both delivered the purest of Seattle’s beats, which are, not coincidentally, made by the same person. DJ SABZI is a lord of loops and a master of melodies, delivering innovative beats to join the likes of Kno (Cunninlynguists) and Premier (Gang Starr).
