Track Two: Grieves - "The Room We Hide In"
Transplant since re-transplanted, Grieves is on Rhymesayers, and seemed to have had his career blow up while living in Seattle. Useless trivia: Good friend and on and off roommate of the MC Type of The Let Go.

Perennial favorites of mine, Blue Scholars embody the Seattle scene. Meeting at the University of Washington, both members of the group come from the real world and simply used their smarts to get ahead.
Track Four: Macklemore - "Life is Cinema"
Another one of my all-time favorites, Macklemore has become one of THE biggest names in my locality. Able to write just as well on serious topics as he does on humorous ones, Macklemore can rap about the false sense of value in material possessions such as a pair of shoes (See: "Wings") and make fun of rednecks (See: "American") all in the same set.
Track Five: The Let Go - "Searching For Sun"
Credits: Sir Mix-A-Lot - "Seattle Ain't Bullshittin'"
One of the hardest working groups in Seattle if only by virtue of the members' solo work. The MC Type and Kublakai both have very active MC careers, and Captain Midnite generally spins more dance-centric mixes at many local clubs.
Apologies to those of you who dislike hip-hop, but if you miss this, you're missing out.
really dig track three and five nice tunes vigo
