Friday Beats – Fresh Espresso

Here’s another joint from the Capitol Hill Block Party episode of chasejarvisLIVE we hosted back in July. Fresh Espresso is the delightfully dope combo of P Smoov and Rik Rude. These Michigan natives have been bringing beats to Seattle with their many musical collaborations for years. Most notably the MCs have mixed it up with P Smoov’s other well-known Seattle group Mad Rad. On Fresh Espresso’s latest album, Bossalona, P Smoov makes the beats, raps, and sings. Rik Rude raps. Trent Moorman rips up the drums and Terry Radjaw is the DJ. This album has been getting great reviews. Here’s a quote from Seattle’s best curator of new music – KEXP.

“This is another smooth and smartly crafted set of hip hop incorporating elements of electro, jazz, R&B and other styles. It’s a fun yet substantial set with synth-driven tracks featuring a variety of funky beats and occasional horns and other instrumentation accompanying the duo’s colorful and sometimes poignant rhymes.” -Don Yates – KEXP

Smoov and Rude’s set on cjLIVE was full of irreverence, masterful tethered samples, witty lyrics and moved along with smooth beats. It was a pleasure having these guys on – and their continued collaborative and creative output in Seattle-based groups continues the enlightened tradition of “206” musicians sharing their talents with each other.

Without a doubt, the audience is the beneficiary of this attitude of sharing. Call it musical transparency. Everyone wins.

    Thanks for your blog post. I would love to say that your health insurance agent also utilizes the benefit of the actual coordinators of a group insurance coverage. The health insurance broker is given a directory of benefits looked for by someone or a group coordinator. Such a broker really does is hunt for individuals or even coordinators which best match those wants. Then he gifts his recommendations and if the two of you agree, the particular broker formulates a contract between the 2 parties.

    I not to mention my pals have been reading the excellent tips and hints found on your web blog while immediately I had a horrible feeling I never expressed respect to you for those techniques. Most of the ladies came for that reason happy to see all of them and have in effect certainly been tapping into these things. Thank you for getting well considerate and then for picking out these kinds of superb areas millions of individuals are really eager to be aware of. My honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to sooner.
