A film about Northwest hip-hop from

The Year Two Gee

This came out in ’99, the same year Bean One also dropped the Footprints’ project Operation Raw. This record boasts a much cleaner and crisper sound. I have no idea what Page3 and X.Troydinare have been up to since. This is a solid 18 tracks worth of classic and heavily slept-on Seattle hip-hopery.

A film about Northwest hip-hop from

Operation Raw

Here’s an early lo-fi release from Seattle producer Bean One. After I found out about his project Doublevision, I picked up this dope tape back in the day from local music supporter Orpheum Records on Broadway. It’s a great snapshot of some obviously talented artists in their early days. Although Bean has become a household name in the underground hip-hop community (producing tracks for such notables as Charlie 2Na and Trife Da God), I’m not really sure what Proh Mic has been up to. Any info would be appreciated. Other names that appear on this tape include Putney Swope, Verse Omega, Kylea from Beyond Reality, and Mr. Hill (later to be found all over Oldominion releases). Over an hour of classic grimy and lo-fi goodness from ’99. (This review originally appeared on the Bring That Beat Back blog and was written by Jack Devo.)
