Nacho Picasso


I am new to this Emcee and have been very impressed with his work.  The beats are solid, while the lyrics remain intelligent, with a rolling poly syllabic pace.  I hope at this point most of you can take my word for it, as far as quality is concerned, I'd like to think that I would never steer you wrong.

Until today, I've never heard of Nacho Picasso out of Seattle, Washington (Thanks, Sniper). But with the otherworldly production duo Blue Sky Black Death and Raised By Wolves behind him, Nacho has the potential to be an instant smash hit with underground hip hop heads and swag rap aficionados alike.

On my second go around with his new free album For the Glory, I have officially become a fan of Nacho's nonchalant talk-rap delivery and voice reminiscent of Luckyiam on lean. At first, Blue Sky Black Death/Rasied by Wolves' overwhelming and vaporous production was overshadowing Nacho's presence, but eventually my ear caught up to his original wit and punchlines. To me, this is one of Blue Sky Black Death's best collaborations with an MC, crushing the output of Jean Grae, Hell Razah, and artists featured on A Heap of Broken Images. With the popularity of acts like Asap Rocky, Main Attrackionz, Clams Casino on the rise, Picasso, BSBD, and Raised by Wolves have an undeniable chemistry that rivals the output of these guys on the opposite coast.

Check out a few of my favorite songs from the album below, as well as the full album stream & download.
