Description
Other than Sir Mix-A-Lot, Seattle doesn't leap to mind as a hotbed of hip-hop talent, but the rain-soaked city has made its presence on the scene felt in recent years. A lot of that can be credited to Blue Scholars, a two-man group that represents for the working class and Americans of Filipino and Persian descent. Bringing deep classical and jazz influences to their music, Blue Scholars are a politically-minded DIY duo creating music that is just as intricately wrought as MC Geologic's rhymes. - Paul M.
