Albums | Sam Lachow releases visually enticing music video for “Fifteen Pennies”
Posted by VMan on April 28, 2020
After creating the hard-hitting track, “Fifteen Pennies”, it was important that Sam Lachow produced a glowing visual and this music video doesn’t waste time getting down to business. The Alice in Wonderland-influence visual is a breathe of fresh air, and trippy as hell. Lachow had to say the following on the release: ““A rumination on finding one’s true self within a never-ending hamster wheel of American industriousness. How much of the hustle is innate and how much is taught? And does it even matter? What’s the end goal to all this and what’s our objective? If it’s just money then why do we repeatedly get caught in these self created distractions and vices?” Watch now above.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Sam Lachow – Half Past Twelve (ft. Magik)
Posted by admin on August 5, 2014
The Seattle native, Sam Lachow recently smashed back on to the scene with his album Huckleberry. A standout from the album is Magik assisted track, “Half Past Twelve”. The poppy-upbeat record documents Lachow’s night at a party without coming across as a “party-record.” The incredibly well-produced track, complete with guitar riffs, rounds off what could quite possibly be the song you were missing for your summer playlist.

Last week I introduced ya’ll to Raz Simone, the MC from Seattle who signed to 300, a new label headed by Lyor Cohen, and backed by Google, with his track “Sometimes I Don’t” featuring Sam Lachow. This week his management hit me with his latest single “Don’t Shine,” off his upcoming album Cognitive Dissonance: Part One, where Raz spits on his environment and where he grew up, and just like its title, it’s not bright. One thing’s for certain, if Raz keeps it up, his future will be. I’m all about real hip hop, and rap records with substance, and musicality, Raz’s talent embodies all of that. This is a must listen and a must download!

I know I may be way late to the party with this one and some of ya’ll might already be acquainted with Seatltle MC Raz Simone, but for those who aren’t, get familiar, because he’s about to be the next big thing in music and hip-hop. He just signed a deal with 300, Lyor Cohen’s record label, and dropped a 5 track EP Solomon Samuel Simone last March, with my favorite track being “Sometimes I Don’t” featuring Sam Lachow which you can stream below. Wish I could find the words to describe his sound, this is real music. I’ve had the record below on repeat, and you should too. This is a must listen and a must download!

Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Sam Lachow – King Lear
Posted by admin on June 10, 2013
Sam Lachow has been on my radar for quite some time now. The young man has proved himself time and time again with his soulful sound and self-aware rapping. However, “King Lear” is different. Sam goes a few steps deeper with his introspection and really digs in to his life and career as a rapper thus far. Perhaps it was the self-produced instrumental, or the self-directed and edited video? Either way, this song is more personal than much of Sam’s music, a trait that I endlessly respect and enjoy.
Take a gander at “King Lear” above, and be sure to tweet out #kinglear for a chance to win some cool prizes from the young Seattle emcee.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Raz Simone – Hometown (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on April 17, 2013
April 8th Raz Simone released his latest song/video called “Hometown”, the same day as his court date in New York. The new song has a special meaning to Raz because of events occurring in his life recently. As he’s known to do Raz uses this video as an informal letter to his fans about what he’s been going through. To hear more of Raz’s story check out his recently released solo debut EP “Solomon Samuel Simone”, available for free download here.
I am a huge supporter of the up and coming hip-hop scene in Seattle. It was produced people like Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis, The Blue Scholars, and Grieves. It is also home to up and comers like Sam Lachow, Raz, Gift Uh Gab, and many, many others. Check out the video above and don’t sleep on Raz.
