      • Blue Scholars is the self-titled debut release by Blue Scholars, a Seattle-based hip-hop duo. It was originally only available in the Seattle area in 2004 before being given a national release in 2005.
      The 2004 release of the album contained tracks 2-11 (the original release had a different introduction, track 1; it was called 'Solstice intro') and came in a jewel case with a cover resembling a spiral-bound notebook. This version of the album was voted "Best Album of 2004" by the Seattle Weekly.
      The 2005 release of the album added three new tracks to the end of the album: "The Ave," "Life & Debt," and "No Rest For The Weary." The re-release comes in a digipak-style case with revised cover art, featuring a silhouette of the Seattle skyline with the band's more common graffiti tag style logo.
      A video for the track "Freewheelin" was produced in the summer of 2004. It features Geo and Sabzi walking with an increasing group of followers through a number of Seattle neighborhoods, including the International District, Beacon Hill, and Capitol Hill. The final scene of the video features the duo performing in Hing Hay Park to their crowd of followers. The video is available on the 2005 version of the album and can be viewed at YouTube.
