Blue Scholars|Oof! EP

Artist: Blue Scholars
Album: Oof! EP
Label: MassLine Media / Duck Down
Release Date: August 25th, 2009

A Blue Scholar is a person with a blue collar background that yearns to learn, to do better, rise above and to take their people with them along the way. The Blue Scholars are Geologic (mc) and Sabzi (dj). Oof! is a Hawaiian inspired 6 track EP that delivers the Blue Scholars classic pro-proletariat vibe laced over mellow melodies, primarily showcasing Sabzi’s synthesized style as a foundation for Geo’s highly palpable and explicit fuck-the-man wordplay. This duo has been blowing spots in the Puget Sound vicinity for several years and are now causing ruckus on a national level. If you are looking for top shelf music with a twist of rhyme, pick up any Blue Scholar release. Madness with methods and riots with rhythm are what they do best, dropping politically punched tracks that will melt your face.
