[Sasquatch! 2013] Our Most Anticipated Artists of the Festival (Day Three and Four)
Only one day left until Sasquatch! commences. Today and tomorrow will see thousands of avid music fans journeying to The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA, prepping their campsites, stocking up on alcohol and drugs in anticipation of dozens of amazing performances. This year's lineup boasts some fantastic talent, such as The xx, Vampire Weekend, Sigur Rós, The Postal Service, Disclosure, Arctic Monkeys, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros and many, many more. It's a lineup worth salivating over.
As the festival quickly approaches, I've put together a list of some of the best acts playing each of the four nights. Each band comes with some recommended listening, because there is no better way to prepare for a festival than sampling what each band has to offer, whether you know them or not. Take a look at our most anticipated artists for days one and two here, and check out days three and four after the jump.
[$FREE.99] Mike Mictlan (of Doomtree) - 'SNAXXX'
It's always awesome to be a Doomtree fan! Especially this year with the multiple releases that the crew has put out like Lazerbeak's Lava Bangers, the Doomtree crew album No Kings, Paper Tiger's Summer EP and free Beat Tape and the upcoming album from P.O.S. We Don't Even Live Here, it's hard not be excited and supportive of one of hip hop's best if not THE BEST collective there is out there. Why do you think they are called "Team The Best Team"?
In addition to all the releases I listed above, we get another album from Doomtree member, Z3R0K00L himself Mike Mictlan titled SNAXXX. The album is the first solo release from Mike since his collaborative record with Doomtree producer Lazerbeak, Hand Over Fist. However, unlike most of Doomtree's releases, Mictlan's SNAXXX features one cut of Doomtree production by Paper Tiger while the majority of the album is produced by newcomer 2% Muck (Tha Clerb, Spyder Baybie Raw Dog) and also features some of the midwest's up and coming rappers such as Lizzo, Greg Grease, Spyder Baybie Raw Dog and Freez but also features Doomtree partner-in-crime P.O.S. for 2 tracks on the album.
It's a bit of change of the normal formula that we are used to from members of the crew but it's still a dope record nonetheless. You can stream the album below and then head to group's bandcamp site to download the record for free or by naming your own price if you wish to show support. WHICH YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO! So that dope artists like Mike keep continuing doing what you and them love and thats putting out good music. Need more convincing (you shouldn't) peep the awesome promo above.
You can also pick up the album in physical form in a sweet deluxe package of the album titled SNAXXX PAXXX, which includes an autographed 15 track CD, multi-colored screen printed t-shirt, 11x17 3D SNAXXX Magic Eye Poster, 2 different stickers, and a gummy pizza candy, all packaged inside of a special screen printed "MIKE'S SNAXXX" pizza box. There have only been 300 physical PAXXX created, so get your ass to the Doomtree Store and pick one of those up as fast as you can.
Mike will be on tour with P.O.S. in support of his new album We Don't Even Live Here dropping this month. Check out the tour dates after the jump.
[Watch] P.O.S. - "Fuck Your Stuff" (Prod. By Lazerbeak)
Just when we thought one taste from the new P.O.S. album wasn't enough, the Doomtree rhymespitter follows up his first single "Bumper" with his latest and I dare say greatest single "Fuck Your Stuff" produced by Doomtree's own Lazerbeak. On this new cut from the upcoming album We Don't Even Live Here, P.O.S. delivers some fresh anti-swag raps over a dope Lazerbeak trap beat stating "My whole crew's on some shit/scuffing up your Nikes/spittin on your whip" and shits on your typical, mainstream, radio iced out rap song.
Peep the video for new single below and make sure you pick up the new single on iTunes or Amazon. Then, take a ride in your 97 Honda Accord with your scuffed up Chucks or skate shoes and bump this joint as loud as you can. We Don't Even Live Here drops on Rhymesayers October 23rd. Pre-order the album now at Fifth Element and make sure you catch Stef on his upcoming tour with Bad Rabbits this fall. Tour dates after the jizzzump.
