When you listen to these two men speak on the microphone, they are portraying a story of their lives that you can easily envision and connect with. They make “feel good” music that addresses the different struggles in life such as failed relationships, discrimination, and poverty with a cup of vodka and some marijuana to paint their picture.

These two Seattle natives are both very talented. Raz, for example, has been known to fuse different musical genres together such as rock, blues, opera, and even movie scores to go along with his raspy voice style. He also prides himself on being authentic with his listeners delivering lyrics that he has personally lived, from his experiences raised in the church to the days he was hustling out in the streets and everything in between.

As talented as Raz is on the microphone, Sam lachow also has received praise for his skills. He has been compared to mainstream popular artists like Mac Miller, Asher Roth and Macklemore. Sam is also a talented producer, songwriter, videographer, and director. Sam has been creating videos since elementary school and has been credited as a director and producer for music videos for other Seattle based artists.

The duo recently released their new EP called 5 Good Reasons. The wonderfully produced composition by Sam Lachow (and also Maggie his co-producer) and the gritty truth in Raz’ lyrics makes 5 Good Reasons a nice download for any fan of hip-hop.  After listening to the EP, listeners have already compared the emcees to Kid Cudi and Kanye West but still notice that they bring their own individual style. With such high praises already being accredited to their names, the future is bright for these two emerging hip-hop artists.
