More about this performer
BLUE SCHOLARS
Blue Scholars have released one full-length album (Self-Titled, 2004) and an 8-song EP (The Long March, 2005) emerging out of the Northwest hip-hop scene with soulful beats, poetic yet political rhymes and a reputation for scorching live performances. With their second full-length release, Bayani, on MASSLINE in collaboration with Rawkus Records, the torchbearing Seattle duo seeks to blend the personal and the political, while not afraid to party in the process. Emcee Geologic and DJ/producer Sabzi came from vastly different musical approaches to experiment with a unique, new sound that still echoes the classic boom-bap of a bygone era ...Links

As you know, our new EP OOF! dropped yesterday. It will be available digitally at online retailers like iTunes and Amazon, but there are a limited pressing of 808 CDs available at select locations (Seattle: Caffe Vita, Honolulu: IN4MATION - Ward Location) and as a package that also includes the Angry Woebots designed T-shirt and Art Poster, MP3's of the tracks and the Hi-808 video, at the Blue Scholars Online Store. You can pre-order Bayani Redux there as well.
Go to the Blue Scholars Online Store (www.bluescholars.com) to order the limited-edition OOF! EP package now!
Mahalo,
Blue Scholars
Everybody loves Hawaii. Few know better than Blue Scholars MC Geologic, having grown up in Honolulu in the 1980s and returning with the Scholars dj/ producer Sabzi last year to rock a sold-out homecoming show at Next Door. Love lingered in the air despite all the changes happening outside the sweaty, crackin' club. "Development" has paved over lush lands and displaced longtime locals, the US military continues its stranglehold on the islands, and tourism runs tings (into the ground). By and by, the people maintain, and Blue Scholars bore witness to life beyond the beaches and resorts.
OOF! is the story about the Hawaii that you don't see on TV: fish-fry BBQs in Waianae, native Hawaiians struggling for sovereignty, house parties on the Leeward side, uncles playing mah-jong on a lanai in Waipahu, a thriving independent hip-hop and fashion scene, on-air ciphers at KTUH, a room full of folks vibin' to a mean reggae song, young poets spitting fire into mics, grubbing on poke in the Foodland parking lot, whole neighborhoods leveled by the ice epidemic.
Many "mainlanders" go to Hawaii to get away. Blue Scholars went to get it in. They returned again six months later with a New Years Eve show and a handful of new tracks inspired by the first visit, soon to be released in the form of their most collaborative multi-media project yet: OOF! available August 25th. Blue Scholars partnered with painter, vinyl toy & skate deck artist, Angry Woebots (www.armyofsnipers.com who crafted a painting to go along with the lead song HI-808 which will be turned into a limited edition print and t-shirt. The painting was created at the influential Hawaii based surf & skate boutique brand IN4MATION (www.in4mants.com. The cover for OOF! was designed by one of Hawaii's premier photographers and historian of all things dope, Aaron Yoshino (Honozooloo / 5 to Life - www.honozooloo.com whose photos have documented Hawaiis subculture for several years. The video for Hi-808 was handled by The Island's premiere video production crew, Kai Media, who shot in and around Oahu (edited by Zia Mohajerjasbi). All these groups have come together to create the OOF! project which will be sold as a complete package online using Topsin Media widgets at Blue Scholars' and each project partners' websites, with the EP being available separately at all digital retail outlets.
Anchoring the project is the OOF! EP, featuring five new Blue Scholars tracks and 5 instrumentals. The minimalism of the intro song "Bananas" yields to the familiar complex lyricism and production of "HI-808," which documents the differences between the Hawaii Geo grew up in and the one he would later return to, laid over an 808-drum-dominated Sabzi masterpiece. Hello is a playful take on the escapism while New People is a truly original effort that almost treads dance music territory. "Cruz" is the duos ode to island life over
