Blue Scholars Appreciation Post
I typically like to post full concerts here at the Holiday at the Sea Music Blog. In fact, even though I haven’t been commenting on many of the posts, most of the videos I share are from concerts I have had at one point either on cassette or CDR from my tape-trading days. But sometimes, I just post things by artists I really like. One of those artists, you may have notices is the PNW hip hop duo known as Blue Scholars.
Blue Scholars are (were?) a politically conscious Seattle hip hop duo. Formed in 2002 while members, DJ Sabzi (Saba Mohajerjasbi) and MC Geologic (George Quibuyen) were both students at the University of Washington. The duo put out 3 full-length albums, 4 EPs and a lot of singles. All of which is worth hunting down while the group is on hiatus(?).
All of that to say, I searched and searched but couldn’t find a full video concert from the duo, so instead, I thought I’d just put together an appreciation post with some killer live cuts.
Enjoy.
