We stumbled across this video last night. I remember when they shot this in 2004. I barely knew Geo and I didn’t know Saba at all. The Seattle Hip Hop scene was TINY! It was crazy cause some local artists were shooting a music VIDEO!!! That shit was unheard of. The first time I ever bumped them, my homie Gabriel Teodros came down to visit me in Olympia where I was going to college. He played me their album before it dropped. I remember TRIPPING that some artists from Seattle made an album that good. The album would go on to frame a good portion of my college experience and affirmed a love for Seattle and pride in our music scene. Their CD release party had about 60 people there, all homies. Amazing to think of how far our city has come in 7 years.

Miss Special interviews Blue Scholars for Special Sundays Radio Show on KSFS at San Francisco State University.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to interview Blue Scholars before their show at Slim’s in San Francisco. I first spoke with Geo/Prometheus Brown about working with Sacramento’s DLRN, the process behind his project “Walk In To A Bar” with Bambu, calling the duo he and Bambu formed The Bar, the significance behind it, and his favorite song on that project. Then I talked to both Geo and Sabzi about the names they came up with for the group before they decided on Blue Scholars, the two of them switching roles; as far as Sabzi doing vocals and Geo making beats, and the process of Sabzi producing beats around vocals. We also spoke about Sabzi and Bambu’s project/group “Inglewood Humperdink”, what’s next for Blue Scholars including releasing unreleased songs on cassette? and more.
