Fea­tur­ing Dyme Def, J. Pin­der, Eighty4 Fly, Royce the Choice, GMK

Dyme Def is a Seat­tle based hip hop trio, founded in 2006 and com­posed of rap­pers Fearce Vil­lain, S.E.V., and Brain­storm. Bean One is the pri­mary beat pro­ducer for the group, but MC Brain­storm makes the occa­sional beat as well, although he is also a rec­og­nized MC, being a past cham­pion of the Red Bull Beat Bat­tle in 2007.

J. Pin­der, son of Seat­tle, no doubt one the town’s bright­est, expresses him­self far bet­ter in song. He’s a sub­tle and gifted painter of words and space, and knows how to express big ideas sim­ply, how to bring emo­tional con­tent with­out emo histri­on­ics. “The Stranger”

Eighty4 Fly was born and raised in Seat­tle. He started out record­ing from one tape deck to another, then upgraded to so-called stu­dios in friends base­ments. The first time he ever got in a real stu­dio, the bud­ding emcee was 16 years old and ended up in a booth with West Coast pro­ducer Funk Daddy (Sir Mix-a-Lot, E-40). A mix­tape hosted by KUBE’s DJ B-Mello, 1^st Class ’N Fly­world, is due out in the near future. The forth­com­ing debut full length No Flght Home is sched­uled for a release in early 2011.
Just like every other emcee in Seat­tle, Eighty4 Fly is aim­ing to become the flag­ship of Seattle’s hip-hop renais­sance. But unlike most of his towns­folk, he isn’t just mak­ing music for Seattle—it’s for everybody.

Royce The Choice chooses to go by his real name in order to tell his story, to engage his lis­ten­ers in their choice of lis­ten­ing to him. Born and raised in Seat­tle, he found him­self briefly liv­ing and work­ing in Los Ange­les last year (2010) when he released his first mix­tape “Choosin Sea­son Vol­ume 1.” He describes “Choosin Sea­son Vol­ume 1” as a choice mix­ture of remixes and cov­ers that allowed him to put his own spin on, as well as orig­i­nal mate­r­ial.  Royce also man­aged to receive the atten­tion of the staff of 50 cent with the appear­ance of his in-studio pefor­mance video “Stoopid” on 50′s site Boobootv.com. He was busy this past year, record­ing over 100 songs, some of which will appear on the aptly titled “Choosin Sea­son Vol­ume 2.”
