Olympia producer Smoke M2D6 raided the archives of legendary alternative record label K Records to put out an album of Pacific Northwest MCs rapping over K Records artists. The resulting compilation, All Your Friend's Friends, is gearing up for an album release show in Olympia. "(Eprhyme and I) got to talking about doing an album like how Madlib did an album with Blue Note," says Smoke M2D6. "We proposed it to Calvin (Johnson, founder of K Records), and he said that he had been waiting for someone to do that the whole time that they were around. ... There's nineteen songs that ended up making the album, and thirty-two MCs, once it's all said and done. But that number's a little skewed, because one of the songs has about 11 people on it." The song that Smoke is referring to is "Jump Kick the Legs," a sort of mission statement for the whole project. Made up largely of a high-energy sample from the soul-punk Chain and the Gang, the video for the song features all 11 MCs taking turns doing verses on the campus of Evergreen College. Without pushing anything, it bursts with Olympia pride, and the variety and stylistic differences between the various rappers shows how vibrant and unique the city is.
