Seattle’s Best Hip Hop Group is…

Its the P-H-Y-S-I-C-S…aka The Physics

Get Familiar

Their debut album “Future Talk” was one of my favorite releases last year (any genre, any town) and stays in heavy rotation. Spring/summertime will bring more spins of this record for its cool-out, crack a brew, holler at the ladies, backyard cookout vibe.

MC Thig Natural possesses such a great combination of infectious flow, intricate wordplay and effortless delivery that “rewind that” will become a regular part of your vocabulary. Producer/MC Just D’amato builds some seriously soulful beats that put you in a good mood all by themselves, and holds it down on the mic as well.

This record should be available at local retailers and I highly recommend you go buy yourself a copy. If they don’t have it, tell them to get it. Do it for yourself. Do it for the kids. Do it for the town.

Are you saying that the best Seattle hip-hop group isn’t one Grayskul??? I find that hard to believe, however, I do admire your insight on the Physics. I don’t know too much about the Physics. Yes, I know they’re on a mission and yes, I know their rhymes are loaded with provocative ideas. Oh and yes, I will take your recommendation and support my local Hip-hop and purchase a CD, album or whatever they do these days…(sheesh!) from the P-H-Y-S-I-C-S.

Not to mention that blogs is watching The Physics. I happen to trust the opinion of one YSL…so hell yah!

I’ll um, have to get back to you on if I think they are in fact Seattle’s best hip-hop.

As you should.

I will say that I have a long list of ‘favorite’ or ‘preferred’ NW hip hop groups. Grayskul is definitely on that list, as well as Cancer Rising, Dyme Def, Blue Scholars, Grieves and Type, Silent Lambs…ect. I won’t even get into solo artists. Being out and about in the scene I have witnessed just about everybody perform and copped just about every cd there is to buy. We have A LOT of good hip hop in this town (I see a 206-hop 101 class coming up soon)

The Physics have a little something extra that I can relate to. The chill vibe, the everyday-man rhymes and the soulful beats put them above the rest…to me…right now.

I agree with you on that and to simply put it, they create music that one can relate to. Call it reality rap, real rap, sh!t you can vibe to, or whatever; at the end of the day, they’re creating that good music.
