I came back to Seattle a week ago and have been hitting up all the stores in town picking up all the local shit I been missing out on, and there are 2 albums that standout to me so far of the ones I picked up.
1) Framework - This guy I had never heard of before, he's out of the Rainier Beach area. Damn I was impressed, Bean One did all of his beats, he has some really really good tracks, he rides those beats beautifully, this is immediately one of my 10 favorite local albums. Now nobody's been talking about him on this board, most of you probably won't pick it up but trust me it is serious heat.
I picked it up at Platinum Records at 12th & Pike just a few blocks from Broadway.
2) Boom Bap Project - Welcome to Seattle Mixtape
This album is banging as well, it is mostly freestyles with a few exclusives, but one of them makes it worth the money. Track 2 "Welcome to Seattle" is a raw city anthem over a sweet beat. I was very very impressed and I wasn't really a fan of them before.
I also picked up this album at Platinum Records.
PEOPLE NO NW RAP FAN SHOULD BE WITHOUT EITHER OF THESE ALBUMS, THEY'RE HOT (not as hot as Crytical but in my opinion about on the level of Twin G's shit).
