Blue Scholars....ya know


Yo if you haven't heard of Blue Scholars yet, and you call yourself a fan of hip-hop, you gotta get up with these guys right NOW! Everything is produced by Sabzi, and the emcee is Geologic, who is one of the dopest lyricists, yeah you heard it, that I have heard in a long time. This may be new for many of my east coast homies, but I know that Blue Scholars are doin real well over on the west coast. Mad props to Geo for being about something meaningful and trying to make a difference through his work with Bayan-USA, a progressive coalition of organizations fighting for genuine freedom in the Philippines. Props to Okayplayer for putting me on to these guys when Bayani dropped.
