In case you missed the dopest movie trailer I’ve seen in a hot minute (hour might even be the correct wordage here), we have it right here! Check out the trailer to the new N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton movie! The intro to this trailer is straight up legendary with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube reminiscing through their old neighborhoods. This flick looks like it could potentially also have makings to becoming the dopest ‘rap flick’ of all time. I truly hope the social importance behind the group and their name is not lost in the hype for this film. America is in a time where we NEED power players to step up and people to open their eyes. I don’t want to get to political but groups like N.W.A. are so important not just to hip-hop but the culture of this country, and
Hopefully the N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton movie can be more than bad ass film but a spark of conversation within the new generation.

Thug Mansion: Lean Like A Cholo Party. I don’t really see the need to say much more. If that title alone doesn’t make you squeel with delight—um, I mean, make you wanna turn up, then you probably were never a teenage wannabe gangster. In any case, you won’t want to miss this. Aston Manor never fails to pull out all the stops for their events, this time with lowrider bikes, 40’s, and LA-based producer/DJ Kill Paris. Opening up before Kill Paris is local trap/big room house DJ Sharps who lately has been blowing up the Seattle club scene.

Raz Simone brings possibly his best effort yet in his verse from the ‘Same Problems’ music video. Seattle’s next up will be heard! On the

What do you do when your a Northwest hip-hop artist and you want a slightly more commercial sound but want to remain hip-hop? You call up Jake One and Stewart Villain…and that is exactly what Dave B did for Loosies. The series of releases comes in at just 3 tracks (for now) but is dope enough to satisfy listeners who have been waiting on that Doughnuts LP.

I honestly had no intention of going to Life in Color, aka the “World’s Largest Paint Party.” I mean, in theory it sounds fun, but

The Rainier Beach boys basketball team has had much success since Jamal Crawford stepped foot into the south Seattle high school. Since the days of Jamal’s killer crossover the Seattle powerhouse has continued to develop many of Washington state’s most notable players. Since their 47-45 victory over Eastside Catholic as state champions in 2014, the Rainier Beach team has battled its way through a long season and recent victories over Garfield high school and Bellevue saw them win the Sea-King 3A title. These wins catapulted them from a #34 national ranking to #25 and is exciting for the team as they prepare for major tournaments at the state and national levels. Lead by senior forward and Washington signee Dejounte Murray, Rainier Beach is on its way to competing for its fourth consecutive state title.

Portland Trailblazers point guard lets go of some steam in NYC on Sway in The Morning this past All Start Snub Weekend. Over a classic Jay-Z instrumental Damian goes in about the rise to the NBA and the destructive environment, Oakland California, in which he was raised. The Bay area has put out quite a bit of dope rappers and hoopers, is Damian Lillard the bridge for the gap? A dope Damian Lillard freestyle is nothing new as he has been no stranger to professing his love for hip-hop and the freestyle art with his regular trending ‘4-Bar Fridays.’ Check out Damian Lillard’s 4 Bar Friday website or on his Instagram/Twitter

I stumbled upon this video interview clip of Geraldo Rivera talking with Josh Zepps on Huffington Post this AM. The title had me incredibly irritated

Tacoma’s own Lil Ripp releases his newest project GDSC (Grind Daily Shine Crazy). Lil Ripp drops another solid mix tape and teams up with All Money In’s Dj VIP. Although he has some real dope tracks there is a little inconsistency within the quality of recordings on a few tracks. If Ripp keeps his grind the same and continually ups the quality and cohesiveness he is going to be trouble and make himself one of the most slept on artist in the NW.

Mikey Vegaz (#OV3) goes in over an instrumental off J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive on ‘January 12th.’ It should be widely noted that Mikey is one of my favorite rappers from the Northwest and should never be slept on, but this jam is dope. Mikey combines bars, stunting, and dropping some life jewels all in one. This is a leak off the upcoming Oregoon Vol. 3 (which we will have when it drops!).

Producer and instrumentalist, Kevin Lavitt, releases his first release from his upcoming self-produced debut project ‘Planets’ entitled “Night Is Over” featuring long time friend and collaborator Sam Lachow. This is a nice smooth jam that fans of Lachow and music will dig, check it out!

To some, St. Patty’s weekend is an excuse to wear green and pinch each other for a night of debauchery and shenanigans. And we, on the EDM-side of Respect My Region wholeheartedly agree. So come get lucky with us at Lucky 2015, presented by USC Events.
Phase 1 of the lineup was just announced last Friday and USC did not disappoint with artists 12th Planet, Aly & Fila, Audien, Brillz, Cedric Gervais, the Chainsmokers, Delta Heavy, Neelix, Seven Lions, and Zeds Dead filling the bill. This is one of the most impressive lineups I’ve seen since I’ve been attending USC shows; there is something for every musical taste.
