RA Scion and Sabzi are Common Market (PhotoByTone)Wordsmith is going to love me for this one. Common Market is the Seattle-based hip-hop duo of Sabzi (who many of you know as the beat maker for Blue Scholars) with emcee RA Scion.

Common Market, the guys who gave me probably my favourite US album of last year, will be releasing their follow up EP 'The Winter's End' at the end of April. If you did check their album 'Tobacco Road' then you'll know that it followed the theme of a year in agriculture.

Yeah, I know, we just posted about these dudes, but I've been listening to them all week and I think they warrant a post that really focuses on the music. In case you missed IllDefined's article, the Seattle-based group called Common Market is made up of Sabzi (who is quickly becoming one of my favorite producers) and RA Scion (who actually might fit over Sabzi's beats *gasp* even better than G...
