The Next Market
As my colleague Charles Mudede can also attest, Common Market pretty much killed it last night. With a warm up crew of DJs and MCs keeping the crowd hyped before they stepped on stage (you’ve gotta love a hiphop show where they don’t let the momentum slip for a second) the CM duo brought the beats, the positivity, and the presence to the stage at Chop Suey. Gushed one local music industry friend beside me, “These guys are going to be the next big thing in Seattle hiphop.” He’s not the only one to think that—KRS-One himself came out and rapped with the Market, as their sets segued together flawlessly.
