" Hip Hop Holiday, Part 3 "
Damn, I can’t even front ya’ll……My batteries are so charged up from this last weekend, I feel as if I am ready to really go in extra heavy this year…While many complain that Hip Hop is in a state of emergency, I know for a fact Hip Hop is stronger than ever…
Last Friday I had the opportunity to spin at the “Aero Soul 2” jam that popped off in downtown Oakland…….All types of heads showed up, young and old for a night of true talent, dedication, graff, originality, and of course much fun….
Big shout out to Refa, Kufu, Planet, Daze, Cheebie, Fooderz, Daze, Prize, Bode, Sha, Chain 3, Mode 2, Toons, Stan 153 (Thank you for the vibes), Sak, Apex, Crayone, SF’Z’S, Kade, Mad Hatter, Spek, Phade (Shirt Kingz), Phresh, Spie, Estria, Tean, Akse Born (Your a funny dude-keep those flames burning kid), Mark Bode, Chorboogie, DJ 12’s (HAHAHA), Ground Level, Mannie, Mark 7 (Your nasty son), Brave, and everyone else that came through to blaze the block up…..
Here are some photos for ya’ll that couldn’t make it out…..

" Conspiracy Radio- 2/5/11 "
Those Conspiracy Radio dudes are back on the set with another show packed with goodies….Pete Rock, Showbiz, Smoke DZA, Virtuoso, Nottz, and MC Eight this time around folks…WHEW….
Some of the musical selections are somewhat questionable, but with a interview line up like this I can’t complain…..CHECK IN…
" For Those That Like To Groove, Part 5 "
What’s going on out there Hip Hop Battlefield posse ?…..
Is this crazy work week taking it’s toll on you ? If it is, I have exactly what you need to help raise your morale levels…..D.J. Andy Smith brings an hour of 45 funk/soul scorchers to the table (Digging In The BGP Vaults)….I can promise you that after listening to this from beginning to end, you will get put under some type of heavy spell…HAHA…
YOU KNOW THE DRILL….
" Confessions Of A Beat Junkie "
Check out this mix that Prince Paul put together before he dropped the classic, “Psychoanalysis” album…….He runs through this session in a chronological order that will make you realize how much material he has produced over the years….
I also have to mention that he includes cuts that were never commercially released…..
" You Know What Time It Is "
In the past I wasn’t much of a watch type of dude….And then one day I spotted a fly boom box watch courtesy of Flud Watches that had me bugging out….
No ice, no corny colors just pure original flavor……I copped one about a year ago for a hundred bucks and then all of the sudden my life took a turn for the better….SERIOUSLY….Everywhere I go motherfuckers are quick to say, “Where and the hell did you get that watch”……Or, “Does your watch actually play music” HAHAHA….
Something about this watch has the females catching the vapors as well….I already knew ladies loved the accessories and all that, but I never had a clue they would flip out like this…
If you think I am bullshitting cop one of these yourself and conduct your own social experiments……
*This special edition Roc Raida joint is wild…..R.I.P.
" New Mixtape Flavors "
It’s a challenge sorting through all the music that I get sent to me on the regular….But what’s even more challenging is finding material that is actually worthy of Hip Hop Battlefield shines……
I’m not asking for much: A little originality never hurt, fresh beats, convincing rhymes, etc….
The good folks over at Doxide Music Group sent me this project by IMAKEMADBEATS & D.J. Traumatix (IMAKEMADMIXTAPES) that caught my attention…

Ayatollah is back on the set with some more instrumental snacks for you to feast on (Fingertips)…….After giving it a listen I have come to the conclusion that this cut right here (Illmatic) is my favorite on the whole project….
Yeah man this is some extra raw shit right here…..
PEEP..
" Wax Weapons 31 "
A wise man once told me, “A real D.J. does real things kid”…….HAHAHAHA….
So I decided to push the record button while flipping through some of the crates earlier today…..Instead of rocking the vocal versions I went back to the original recipe of what Wax Weapons was all about : Fly instrumentals….
Sometimes I get tired of all that wierdo shit dudes be yelling….It’s good to let the beats knock every once in awhile and catch a zone without lyrics attached to it (Ya Feel Me)…
