So I had to get DJ Peg up since I’ve always enjoyed his mixes. I have a few but knowing what a staple he is in the Seattle hip hop scene I bet I haven’t even scratched the surface. In fact, the Hood Classics Three Mixtape is on my want list if any one has a copy! So it had been a minute since I’ve taken a look to see what’s new with him and damn, he has a whole series of NW interviews with MCs, promoters, artists, producers and DJ’s. ‘A weekly podcast representin’ Northwest Hip Hop culture. Fresh Out Tha Northwest was created by DJ Peg to shine a light on emcees, DJs, producers and promoters from his region.’ Needless to say I’ve been trying to get through them as fast as I can! Not only is this a great way to pay tribute to so many of these greats, as you’ll see, but it gives us all a chance to learn more about them, so a big shout out to DJ Peg for this! Plus it helps me with more info. on these artists to pass on to you guys. Win/win! So moving on to a little about DJ Peg, from his own page:

UN is short for UNknown originally. UN was changed to UN Tha Rhyme Hustla in 2000. Un The Rhyme Hustla has been a mainstay in the NW hip hop scene for a long time and he’s still going strong. There’s no way I could cover everything he’s done so I’ll give you just a little taste of it here. Just to summarize his career up until now here’s a little “resume” from Un The Rhyme Hustla on the Bandlab website (edited for better flow). 1988: started his career, 1989/90: his first studio recording, 1991: his first rap battle, 1992: 98 underground singles and freestyle champ undefeated from 91-98, 1998-2005: 15 underground singles, 2005-2009: Un quits music, 2012: his comeback and first commercial release “Tattooed Tears“, 2012: Un sets record for attendance at record release party, wins Beat of NW and is interviewed on the radio by Sir Mix-A-Lot, 2014: he signs with Itchy Metal, the same year the label shuts down, 2018: he signs to Es Way, 2019: he starts new genre with moniker M.Shaun.

As far as I can tell Tattooed Tears is his only album, but there are plenty of singles and features. Here’s just a few features (because there are a TON) with other NW artists that Un has done after his Tattooed Tears release:

Mike “G” & M.A.R. – Get Ya Own [Feat. Un The Rhyme Hustla]

Suede & Eddy K – Dr. Henry Jones ft. UN the Rhyme Hustla

Suede & Eddy K – Gone Madden ft. Mic Phenom & UN the Rhyme Hustla

Suede & Eddy K – 93 ’til ft. UN the Rhyme Hustla & Awall

G Lawrentz – Everett featuring Un the Rhyme Hustla (UN) & 206 A$$a$$in

If you like what you hear just hit up any major streaming platform or do a search for Un on YouTube and you’ll have music for days!
