(NW HIPHOP) The crew of the moment is Blue Scholars, and their new CD,
The Long March, is thick with soul and
Marxist melancholy (one track is called "Proletariat Blues"). The music was produced by
DJ Sabzi, who also produced the music for Common Market, and the raps were crafted by Geologic—an MC who has the ability to express in rhyme
feelings that are very personal and conditions that are wholly social. (
