What EMS Is Watching ... Iron Solomon vs. G. Sizzle

In light of the latest TMB post on Iron Solomon, it took me back to when I first learned about this dude. I can't even remember where I saw this, but ever since I watched him spit his first line against G. Sizzle, I knew he was dope. This battle is my favorite of the ones I've seen, particularly Round 1. What amused me is that G. Sizzle sounded like he was getting louder and more aggressive as the rounds progressed which made me laugh. All in all, they both went at it like they were hungry for it, but obviously, I think Iron Solomon had this one hands down. Big ups to Real 6. Enjoy.

Sound Session w/J.Moore and DJ Hyphen (Co-hosted by Maseo of De La Soul)


It's been a little while since I posted up a link to our Seattle homie DJ Hyphen's weekly show. Enjoy this week's episode. Chea!
Just another weekend here at SNSS…you know: Halloween night, having Maseo from the legendary De La Soul co-host with us, playing crazy dope records, etc..  The usual really.

But in all seriousness, this was a really fun episode for us.  Maseo and J. Moore go way back, so it was great to have him come through and talk ish while we spun joints from folks like Lupe, Nottz, Kid Cudi, Aloe Blacc, Mayer Hawthorne, J-Live, Kanye, and more.  We got the low down on the incredible Gorillaz/N.E.R.D./De La Soul/Little Dragon tour that’s shutting down stadiums all over the country, plus heard an update on De La’s next album.  All sorts of fun.  Tune in and enjoy!  RIP Granma Hyphen and Gregory Isaacs too…
