When the studio Scribes was recording at was broken into and robbed, everything was gone—including the master versions of the tracks he’d already laid down. But from the ashes, the young Seattle rapper recreated his second-full length record and fittingly titled it What Was Lost. And if the first leak is any indication, a Bean One-produced monster of a track called “Monster,” the record will be worth the extra effort. Scribes is doing it big for his release party with two Grynch-hosted shows—an early, all-ages version featuring support from KnowMads and Kung Foo Grip and a late edition with Super Fire, JFK and Hush’d Puppies. He says he’s never felt so close to death, but with great sacrifice comes great reward. NICK FELDMAN
