THE BLUE SCHOLARS are deeply rooted in the rich Pacific Northwest hip-hop scene. In 2008, they represented their region as they traveled with legendary acts like GZA and Hieroglyphics and on the revered Rock the Bells tour. Interweaving issues of race, class and daily life in introspective rhymes layered over smoothed-out funk beats, the Blue Scholars have been rocking sold-out shows and consistently honing their reputation on both the college circuit and club scene.
