Seattle Cultural Ambassador & Radio Show Host “J Moore” Needs Your Help In Fight For His Life
November 29, 2015
Two years ago I visited the city of Seattle, WA to cover the Bumbershoot music festival. I knew some friends that moved from Atlanta to Seattle but no Radio/Media people. I only knew DJ Hyphen from interacting online and listening to Hyphen & J Moore on the Sunday Night Sound Session show. Well not only did I meet these good brothers they invited me on the show and connected me with great people in the Seattle scene. With J Moore’s help I met DJ DV One and Seattle artists, promoters, and more. If you know J Moore then you know that he is a stand up man who loves his Family, promotes great Music and always pushes the culture forward. He is battling some serious health issues at the current time and his family has started a GoFundMe page to assist with medical bills.

As many of you know, Jon underwent a kidney transplant a few years ago that helped save his life, Caitlin was his donor.
Over the last few years he has been taking medication and is being followed closely by his doctors to ensure that his body accepts the new organ.
Over the last few months, Jon’s health has begun deteriorating, and he has suffered a kidney rejection.  This week Jon took a turn for the worst, and he ended up in the ICU wth a lung infection that has also become systemic and was in his blood stream. He is now hospitalized and recieving several antibiotics, IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and more diagnostic tests to help understand the nature of his illness.

Dave B – “The Way” (Prod. By Jake One)
June 29, 2015
So how does this recipe sound? Take a veteran Producer who has created bangers for everyone from Freeway to Mayer Hawthorne & then add a young, creative emcee in his own zone. Well if the producer is Jake One and the emcee Dave B what you get is quality head nod music.  I have been on Dave B for a minute now and I am just waiting for that full project from him and Jake One but until then rock out with this new heat called “The Way.” Also featured on the track is Shelby Poole who provides some sultry vocals to complete the track.  I keep telling you all Seattle is producing some heat right now pay attention!

Seattle’s “Gifted Gab” Pulls A Lyrical “187” For The Moor Gang (Video)
June 29, 2015
There is a lot of quality Hip Hop coming out of the Pacific North West these days.  With artists like Dave B, Raz Simone also part of that Seattle wave is the “Moor Gang.“ The Moor Gang is a collective of emcees repping Seattle and their first lady is “Gifted Gab.” She lets loose some fire with her video for the track “187” .  The visuals are nicely done as she & the directors creatively borrow from the 1979 cult classic film “The Warriors.”  This is more of a mini-movie than a video directed by Andrew Imanaka, Devlin Dinish and Gabrielle Kadushin .  I had the pleasure of seeing Gifted Gab perform live last year at Bumbershoot Festival & I can say this sister is on her way so stay tuned!
