WESTCOAST WEDNESDAY.

We take you up to Seattle for today's Westcoast Wednesday. Don't get it twisted, Cali isn't the only one reppin for the west these days. Ironically, this track by the Northwest duo Blue Scholars is about Hawaii - which is waaaaaaaaaaaaay west. So you get the best of both worlds.

Feeling Blu.

L.A. emcee and one of the best up and coming cats in the game, Blu, has been dropping new music for free download on his MySpace page. Well, I went and collected it for you. The Notorious B.L.O.G. = One Stop Hip Hop Shopping.


The dude is from L.A., and is on a real smooth Jazz and Blues influenced-tip. It's refreshing. He rhymes for the Hip Hop fan, not the Man.

Blu - "theClassyMan"

Blu - "GloryUs"

Blu - "DepartingFlights"
