Tacoma alternative hip-hop gang Decent At Best debuted the first release, Sideways, from their upcoming EP, Retroactive Stimulation. The single – which features bars from NW emcee Sean The Shaman – showcases a variety of the sounds and approaches that make the collective so interesting.

Decidedly musical in their approach, DAB produces clean and upbeat tracks that fit in well with the current mainstream Seattle sound. The squad has been busy of late, gaining popularity with a bevy of impressive covers, and I’m very interested to see what their project sounds like.
