Ready Ron Slighted by Seattle Sound Music Awards

 

Seattle has long been known for its legendary music history — from the grunge revolution of the ’90s to its thriving indie scene — but its hip-hop culture has quietly grown into a force of its own. At the forefront of this movement is Ready Ron Beats, a music producer whose work has become synonymous with high-quality, hard-hitting beats, and whose influence extends far beyond the studio. From producing instrumental tracks that elevate both rising and veteran rappers to promoting live shows that bring R&B singers and spoken word artists to the stage, Ready Ron Beats has earned a reputation as a pillar of Seattle’s creative community.

Ready Ron has set out on a mission: to put Seattle hip-hop back on the global map. The collective acts as both a production hub and a platform for artists looking to break through, providing the tools, network, and exposure needed to compete on a larger scale. His commitment to nurturing local talent while producing beats that resonate nationally demonstrates both his dedication to the craft and his vision for the city’s music scene.

According to an email reportedly sent to Ready Ron by Lady Scribe, the founder of the awards, an invitation connected to the event was rescinded due to a Facebook post involving Melissa Miller of Melodies Merged. Beyond that, the circumstances are unclear: it remains unknown whether Ready Ron was meant to perform, present, or take part in some other capacity at the awards. This ambiguity has sparked conversations across the local music community, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about what exactly transpired and why such a decision was made.
