I haven't heard too much- I know it's got Sabzi from Blue Scholars pumpin' the same jazz-infused stuff... just haven't got around to listening in. Any recommendations on places to start or can't miss tracks?

I`ve only got an EP by Common Market but I`ll up it for you in a bit, before I go to bed and then mail you the link in the morning. I don`t know much about the Seattle scene, Common Market and Blue Scholars are the only groups from that area that I know, but there`s a somewhat similar group across the border in Canada called Sweatshop Union who are pretty awesome.

And suggest Blu and Exile's entire CD they did together. It's phenomenal.

Thanks a lot, man! Yeah- I'm actually the same, I only know Blue Scholars and Common Market out of the Seattle hip-hop scene... but from what I've heard both are great. Funny, I actually have heard some Sweatshop Union as well- 'Natural Progression' was one of the early albums I came across when I was searching exclusively for "underground hip-hop" on google and various sites. Good stuff, thanks again for upping..
