Scribes is a Seattle rap artist who works independently and remains unsigned. He releases two official independent recording projects: his debut full-length album Sleepwalk and the five-track EP Summertime Sampler 2009. Sleepwalk comes out in 2007, the year after he finishes high school, and the EP follows in May 2009.

He has extensive experience as a live performer and appears at venues across Seattle. He also supports a range of national and local acts, including Wu-Tang Clan, GZA, RZA, Andre Nikatina, Zion I, Mistah Fab, Stone Gossard and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Blue Scholars and Common Market.

A full-length album, largely produced by Bean One of Dyme Def, is scheduled in 2010. Scribes' style moves between political themes and lighter, more playful writing. Sleepwalk addresses capitalism and greed while remaining upbeat, and his work shows knowledge of hip hop history alongside an interest in developing that tradition further.
