Seattle rappers tend to show mad love towards unique hip-hop and this fits with that trend entirely. Spekulation spits some fire bars over a hot beat that came from a local Seattle band. A couple solid additions in the production area really took this song from a sick Rap/Rock track to a banger. I look forward to getting more of Spekulation’s work sent my way! This guy sounds a little like Macklemore but in an extra-filthy kind of way. Mack comes across a little too soft and goofy to me sometimes..Haven’t noticed that yet after listening to 5+ songs by Spekulation.

There’s more filth to be uncovered once you get past the first song. If you’re a fan of local talent I highly recommend checking out this guy’s work. Seems like he’s doing all of the right things to get noticed across the greater 206 and beyond. Be sure to bump all of the Seahawks related remixes he’s done! He’s done some hilarious work sampling Marshawn Lynch’s many different interview experiences from the 2014 season.
