Nate Synonymous: 'The Curiosity Constant' Release Show

One of the great things about the local hip-hop collective Skeemn is that its various members each offer their own flavor. Spokane rapper Nate Synonymous kind of feels like a full-bodied, sativa chill-out high that makes you feel like you’re melting into your couch. On his new EP The Curiosity Constant, Nate’s smooth, laid-back flow on songs like “Not the Same” and “Part of Me” pair seamlessly with stripped-back beats that value vibes over a ferocious lyrical attack. That’s not to say he can’t lock into darker (“The Opener”) and more energetic groover feels (“MindWrap”), but Nate’s music is more about crafting a cool calm party over a rager. The MC celebrates the new EP’s release with a concert that will also feature his pals like Bambii, Kid Judo, Da Gilly, Estimate and more.
