The Blue Scholars are the socio-politcal hip hop duo of DJ Sabzi and MC Geologic from Seattle, Washington. They have shared the stage with legends such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mos Def, Immortal Technique, Little Brother, MURS, Jedi Mind Tricks, Kayne West, and Pharcyde.
Bayani Redux is their newest album meaning "heroes of the people" and "the Word" in is a Tagalog
and Persian, respectively, due to the duo's Philipino and Persian heritage. The album addresses socioeconic issues, challenges authority, and embraces youth empowerment in very tactful and well polished songs that not only are beautifully crafted, but are also gritty and full of emotion. A must have for any Hip Hop head.
