One of our favorite spitters, Grynch, looks back with his video “Carry On” to when he was a kid and grew his hair out. He needed to look back on the days that he first started spitting just to get back to working at his craft once more. That’s adult perspective for you. The Seattle native drops his 4th full-length Street Lights next week and will do so with a release party at the Crocodile.
Great quality around the country this week. Asher Roth features a different side of himself for his sophmore album Retro Hash. Kelis counters with her album Food. The biggest street record is not coming from Future. Instead, cop that Shabaam Sahdeeq album called Keepers of the Lost Art. Additionally, full-lengths are out by Iggy...

In a world where we are always turning up its always dope to find some hip hop in which we can turn down to like Clear Soul Forces. Their latest video “Solar Heat” is just more of that low-key spacebar ish that we at Juice Radio like to call our lives.
The infamous duo of Mobb Deep are back in the Northwest this Tuesday at the Crocodile in promotion of their latest album The Infamous Mobb Deep presented by our friends at ReignCity. Kool Keith will be at Neumos on Thursday. Hieroglyphics member A-Plus will rock Nectar Lounge on Sunday. Bay artist and friend of Juice...

August Alsina’s ode to a stripper, “Get Ya Money” featuring Fabolous, gets a video from his debut album Testimony. Better call T-Pain, because he’s in love.
It was a 200 party as we celebrated 200 episodes of Fresh Juice. In a celebratory style, we let our guests jump on the mic and conversations were a lot freeer. It got a lil turnt up during parts up. However, we didn’t do a “best of” show,” because Fresh Juice has always been...

Just like his lyrics, Childish Gambino is on another mental level in his visuals too like in this one for “Sweatpants.” Unless you are paying attention you really won’t know what’s going on. That’s one reason why the average person doesn’t check him out. Their loss, Gambino’s sophmore album 3005 is pure art.
The Capitol Hill Block Party announces their headliners this year including A$AP Rocky, Sol, and A$AP Ferg with the festival July 25th through 27th. Maryland rapper Logic will rock June 10th at Neptune Theatre presented by STG as part of his While You Wait Tour. Coolio will resurrect many of his hits live on stage...

Even if this song is dope, I still think Tobey McGuire played a better Spiderman than the new guy. Remember, McGuire was a nobody when that was first made. There might be better graphics and more star power, but real acting cannot be bought. The art is same in music and Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar are natural talents that make or break everything they do. However, why’d they go and cut Kendrick off at the beginning like that, its like two different songs.
Street R&B’s biggest face is August Alsina right now and he just dropped his debut record Testimony today. One of the biggest lyricists in the game, Pharoahe Monch, dropped a record dedicated to the condition of PTSD. Nas released a collection of Illmatic un-released recordings for its 20th anniversary of its release. Also dope...
