WIN TICKETS TO: ZION I
ZION I, AmpLive, Ryan Lewis @ Chop Suey | 09/04 | 9pm | $15 Zion I is Chop Suey on Saturday. We're thrilled about this show, but it's criminal that Zion I doesn't pack stadiums. They raise the hip-hop standard to a higher plane and they deserve mainstream recognition for it. They've touched the mainstream, and maybe felt a little bit of payoff when they collaborated with Linkin Park a few [...]
Macklemore, Blue Scholars
To See Rating: 9/10 Just Curious Rating: 8.5/10 Macklemore and Blue Scholars are two hip-hop acts that need no introduction, especially if you've been following SSG for a while.

The bass from Mash Hall’s opening set was audible from blocks away. When I made it past the rigorous search for weapons at the door, I hit the wall of weed smoke [...]

An Interview with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
In a climate of Independent hip-hop where subject matter is often kept to the flagrant, ostentatious, and vulgar, it is refreshing to have another Seattle spokesman who is using his candid life experiences to make a difference in others lives. Have you heard the groundbreaking song "Otherside" off of the VS. EP from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis? Download "Otherside", and if you want give it a [...]
Ryan Lewis: Fake Empire
From time to time, SSG will venture from standard concert speak. There are other avenues of the arts that speak to the SSG writers on a regular basis; when those voices are too loud to be silenced, the overflow spills onto the written page. This concert variance is to honor a local producer, Ryan Lewis. Not only does Lewis work with the beloved Macklemore, but he is also an independent producer, [...]
