D.Black - Special f/ Fatal Lucciauno MP3
via 206Proof
Following the release of his well-received Sportn' Life/MYX Music Label debut Ali'Yah, Seattle-based MC D.Black is showing no signs of slowing down in 2010. Teaming up with fellow Emerald City native and frequent collaborator B.Brown, D.Black is gearing up to release a brand new (and free!) EP entitled Black and Brown – D.Black will be handling all the vocals, while producer B.Brown provides the beats. In anticipation of the release, D.Black is leaking the first song from the forthcoming EP for public consumption. "Special" is about taking a stand against the destructive ways that most people live their lives. "We got a generation dying over wealth, but we constantly chasing our self," raps D.Black. It showcases the lyrical skills and sophistication you have come to expect from D.Black, smooth production by B.Brown, and features a guest spot from fellow Sportn' Life Records label mate MC Fatal Lucciauno. The trio prove that, just in case you weren't sure, Sportn' Life Records and MYX Music Label are a force to be reckoned with.

Evergreen State of Mind Seattle Remix VIDEO
spotted on 206Proof
Seattle has its own anthem to counter Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind' called Evergreen State of Mind. Lyrics below.
Yeah were rolling up Ballard, ride by Queen Anne
Wave to my main man
Matthews and his rock band
Drive down I-5, holla back Huskies
Our teams
eatin so much, they call 'em husky
I used to mug at Shorewood drinkin
mad Americanos
way up there in Lynnwood, dodge Asian-Americanos
Lightin
up a steamboat, ridin on the ducks blazed
Catch me in the bakery with
Douglas making cupcakes
Bussin through Denny, Nevermind the traffic
Ladies here got back so Broad, you'd think them plastic
This my stop in
CD, home of my boy Bruce Lee
used to break dem mofos and Kareem in movie
after movie
With Ryan on the Empire, Hanks on Alki
Pike Place the
right space for fish fly bys
Playa I be buzzed out, Sippin straight black
coffee
Tell by my plaid flannel, that i'm most definately from ...
Sea-Town, Emerald City where rain get played up
There's nothing but
green here
Now you're in Sea-Town
These trees will help you to
breath clear
Fresh air is here all year
Let's hear it for Sea-Town,
Sea-Town, Sea-Town
Catch me at the Safe with B.G. at an M's game
Junior made our team way more famous than an MC can
You should know I
bleed purple but i ain't a Yahoo!
I run Windows not crips, so I see blue
Clay molded the city and he brought em to their knees
Schultz sold
out Seattle and they locked the fuckin Key
And though they took our team KD,
Nick Collison
We still in Belltown with popped collars son
Remember
after the games, we'd eat @ Dick's with all the cats
Gotta message for
Howard, do the same without the @
Since I'm on the rap, and G Ell's on the
hook
If Jay's paying D Wade, I'mma pay Aaron Brooks
My money's wide
like the Amazon, free shipping when they sell it
Like hendrix with the
hammer on, this Sound's psychodelic
Space Needle soaring, Kingdome is long
dead
Long live King County, gem of the Nortwest thats ...
Chorus
Sky is crying on folks we blind to
Pulling off the freeway,
pretending theres no time to
Find the kindness confined to the well-off and
wealthy
Its the slightest of rights to be well-fed and healthy
Got a
spare coin, they like dimes not Nickels
Real Change is rare when youre livin
on a trickle
City so winded, its a sin that we dreaming,
While men on
the street sleep in ten under freezing
Cant make the bus fare, cant
fight the tide
Cant break the addiction, like a vice on their lives
Clearing tents in cities, its a scourge and
Seattle aint pretty, cant
stop the incursion
Stayed here for school, graduated to recession
Plant workers, engineers united in depression
Puffin on a Swisher, chase
it with a micro
Sleepless in Seattle is the only way that we roll ...
Chorus
Umbrellas in the air for the rain city
Street lights,
big dreams, all lookin pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put
your lighters in the air, everybody say "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
Now you're
in ...
Chorus
