Seattles skies may have turned awfully gray, but if anyone can revive a feeling of good times and sunshine its Justo, Thig Natural and Monk Wordsmith. Both of The Physics recent laid-back, soulful FreEPslast years High Society and this Mays Three Pieceare must-have pieces of the local scene, and theyve since been hard at work in the studio tackling their sophomore full-length Love is a Business. Even more uplifting, this show benefits All As One, an organization dedicated to empowering a self-sufficient people in Sierra Leone and supporting its orphaned children. After watching their Bumbershoot set back in September, I remain convinced The Physics are still one of the best feel-good hip-hop groups I’ve seen–in Seattle or otherwise. With Sol, Jake One, Yirim Seck. NICK FELDMAN
