Runaway Productions
Albums and shows like this are exactly why I started Runaway Productions 15 yrs ago. To be apart of something that adds to our NW music scene. That adds to Music everywhere. Take 2 completely different things bring them together and make something so beautiful. Runaway Productions is proud and honored to have been asked to be apart of bringing this show and amazing album to the masses.
"TAKING SOMETHING DOPE FROM THE PAST AND MAKING SOMETHING FRESH FOR THE FUTURE."
ALL YOUR FRIENDS FRIENDS - DOCUMENTARY TRAILER #1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvOWH6oC0JU ALL YOUR FRIEND'S FRIENDS is a seminal Northwest Hip-Hop Compilation album produced entirely off of samples pulled from the K Catalogue. Featuring over 30 of the most unique MCs from the region including members of mega-crews OLDOMINION and the SANDPEOPLE, the album also introduces a host of hidden talent from OLYMPIA, WA. K’s sonic stomping ground.
This decades spanning compilation is a creative celebration of the Northwest sound and scene in some of its most striking masks and manifestations. The energy of the album moves fluidly between dark, angsty, and self-reflective to upbeat, nostalgic, and carefree, taking the listener on an underground rap odyssey through the overcast streets, anarchist basements, cramped performance spaces, and stoned-out suburbs of this moody and musical part of the world.
Through kaleidoscopic counter-cultural mashups and topsecret sampling styles, producer Smoke M2D6 has mercilessly deconstructed the classic lo-fi garage soul sound of the iconic indy label, artfully rearranging it all over a thick foundation of classic breaks, 808’s, and of course some heavy bass, allowing old heads to hear this music in a totally different way, while introducing a new generation of fans to a classic treasure trove of northwest creative history.
ALL YOUR FRIEND’S FRIENDS is sample-based Hip-Hop culture at its best, taking something dope from the past and making something fresh for the future.

Nate has been keeping it pretty low on the music scene over the last few years but I just had diner and a great talk with him and he told me he wants to start playing out again. He said he wants to work on some new music and he is going to be looking for some beats. Something he could play guitar over and maybe keys on. WELCOME BACK NATE DOG.
