PE & the Roots – Bring the Noise
Isn’t it just like life that you have to wade through some Flava Flav to get to Chuck D, ?uestlove and Black Thought?

K’Naan – Troubador
I saw K’Naan in concert a few years ago at BB Kings. I think that was the concert where I got Talib’s autograph… But he was there, so was Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def, Jean Grae. I think it was in December of 08. That was a great concert! I think this is also the concert where Kal Penn (Kumar of Harold and Kumar) was in the audience.
Long story short K’Naan got on stage and tore it UP! His song Soobax was incredible to hear live and my brothers and I have been diggin on him since. He released a new album last week and I can’t wait to listen. You should check it out.
KEXP in NYC
My favorite radio station of all time can now be picked up in NYC! Credit needs to go to Jesse for getting me hip to 90.3 KEXP in Seattle a while ago. Any fans of real music need to be familiar with this station if they aren’t already. You can still listen to the Seattle station online which is what I normally did in the mornings until I found out about the NY Station. Get all the independent goodness here:

KEXP – another item in the long list of things to love about Seattle.
