" New Years Wreckage "
Another year came and went in a blink of an eye…
CRAZY…..
I guess we will be hearing another “Skillz” end of the year wrap up sometime soon…HA..
Anyway, earlier today I decided to get a little turntable abuse in to help bring the new year in properly….I’m not going to give you guys a playlist this time around, but you will hear cuts from Large Pro, Walking Large, A Kid Called Roots, Ghostface Killah, Guilty Simpson, Jon Knotty, Akinyele, accapella flips, doubles, and all types of other wild shit…
Big shout out to everyone that supports how I get down over here…..2012 shots and you don’t stop !!!!!
* All vinyl mix.
" Conspiracy Radio – 12/24/11 "
M.O.P. , Afu Ra, Action Bronson, and Pete Rock’s brother Grap Lover are the special guest on the latest edition of the Conspiracy Radio broadcast….
Montana & Menace keep up their streak when it comes to bringing informative interviews to the table….
" 2 Tone : Mike – T Is Dope "
After listening to that Kid Jazz interview with Thief The Priest a couple days ago, I decided to do a little investigating to see what Thief’s history is all about….
Come to find out he was in a group called 2-Tone back in the 80’s and Mike T from CMW was their D.J. for a period of time..
WOW…
Back in 1988 they recorded some material that ended up being shelved…Thankfully the good folks over at Jamille Records released a couple joints from the crew earlier this year…..
My top pick from the batch is a cut named “Mike T Is Dope” produced by KG of The Cold Crush Brothers…..FRESH IS THE WORD..
" Roddy Rod 2011 "
Fuck what ya heard that dude formerly of Maspyke, “Roddy Rod” has some very fresh beats under his belt…
Unfortunately he doesn’t get the props that his fellow Low Budget Crew members receive (Kev Brown, Odyssey)……Hopefully with the release of Oakwood Grain 2 all that will change….
Take a listen and get your mentals correct…
" Mid Week Rockets "
Who has a grimier voice than Big Twin in Hip Hop ?
Think about that one for a second….Nine, D.O.C., Duke from Psycho Realm ?
The only person that I can think of off top would be Burro Banton who leans more on the dancehall side of things……Twinz links up with Bam & Big Noyd for some 2011 ugliness on this joint entitled, “Burn It Down” from DJ Skizz’s upcoming release BQE…
Skizz has been dropping some raw beats lately so be on the lookout for that project early next year homeboy…
PEEP..
" New Psycho Les "
Psycho Les pops back up on the set with this new joint “Sadat & Sandman”……
Lately I have heard all types of commotion about how ill Sandman is, especially after signing with Stones Throw, but to be honest I have never heard any of his music…I’m still on the fence regarding his rhymes on this song..
Can’t front though- the great dot x steals the motherfuckin show…
“Sadat & Sandman” produced by Psycho Les..
" Battlefield Remix Steez "
Before I even get started I want ya’ll to know something – these remixes that I flip are tailor made joints….
Instead of just throwing an accapella over a previously made production, I build the instrumental around the vocals which enables me to get intricate with the wreckage….HA.
Some of these producers out here drop vitamin deficiency beats….I try to bulk my shit up with protein powders, amino acids, and all the proper essentials..
My goal is to construct beats that will topple motherfuckers…….With this remix of “I’m Legend” by Smiley The Ghetto Child, I believe I accomplished my mission……BLAM,BLAM….
" Kid Jazz Vs. Donald D "
Even though the Rhyme Syndicate only put out one full length album (Rhyme Syndicate Coming Through) they made a tremendous impact…One of my personal favorites from the crew “Kid Jazz” is still putting out music under the new moniker, J-Swagg…
When I first found out that he put “swag” in his name I almost lost my composure…..I started having flashbacks of when other childhood heroes of mine let me down in the new millennium with sub-par material full of uninspired rhymes, new age cornball beats, and all that other shit (you know the scenario)…
But when I heard the song “Eat E’m Up Swagg” that rocks a chorus similar to L.L. Cool J’s “Eat E’m Up L”, I had to shake my head in disbelief…….Not only does he swipe L.L’s hook, he takes a few swipes at the Syndicate sniper Donald-D…..
Regardless, what your about to hear is a piece of Hip Hop history…….Earlier this year “Kid Jazz” rocked a interview with a cat named Thief The High Priest……Do yourself a favor and skip the first couple of minutes (you will see what I’m talking about)….
You would be hard-pressed to find anything about Kid Jazz or his old group Domination on the net, so consider yourself lucky trooper….
PEEP…
" Attack Of The Killer Demos Returns "
Only a few MC’s could touch James Todd Smith in his prime….
SERIOUSLY…
He wasn’t the most technical M.C., but he made up for it with pure B-Boy explosiveness…For instance on this demo version of “Jack The Ripper” he goes all out with a barrage of battle rhymes, attitude, and 1988 hardrock frequencies …
" Hip Hop Holiday Status "
Last weekend I had the opportunity to rock a production with my brothers Peezo (Funk What Ya Heard), Demik, and Big Kufu Onerz…
We decided that with all this holiday hysteria popping off, why not celebrate something actually worthy of praise : HIP HOP…
Every single day is a motherfuckin Hip Hop holiday over here on this side of things…365 days a year we are constantly looking for that perfect beat, striving to perfect our skills, and strategizing on ways to keep our Hip Hop morale up regardless of how many of our peers have ” fallen the fuck off “…
So take a look at these flicks and peep some 2012 high powered frequencies duke…Salute to all my troopers out there that know what time it is !!!!!
1…PEZO- God damn, this is just crazy……Symetrical, electric, and straight up B-Boy…..
2…DEMIK- Check out the movement in this piece famo…This is some old tidal wave shit……SPLASH.
3…DRASAR MONUMENTAL (ERAN)- I had fun splashing this one up….Take a look at the color scheme, fills, and all the extras…..Big up to Kufu for helping me keep it right and exact..
4…KUFUE ONE- This piece is screaming flavors…….Kufu has so many styles under his belt that he can rock effortlessly with originality and finesse….Not to mention that he can flip characters and letters like a champ..
BLAM,BLAM..

And as the year comes to a close please remember to stay focused, inspired, and determined to get your goals accomplished…..Mr. Hip Hop Battlefield will do the same…..
ROCK ON…
" 4 All My Wu- Headz, Part 10 "
All the way from Vancouver, Canada comes this mix by “DJ Rich – A” that features an hour of Ghostface Killah material (Tales Of Suspense)…..
You will hear come classics, remixes, B-Sides, sample source tunes, and all types of other shit…
Tales of Suspense – A GhostFace Killah Mix by DJ Rich-A
" Lord Ron On The Decks "
UZN DJ Lord Ron has been putting in much work on his “Preserving The Culture” podcast….
Every single week he uploads another mix for us to rock…..Check out the latest session 12/16/11 it’s full of brand new steamers that will make your ears perk up…..
" More Fire : Freddy Fresh Editions "
I’m not going to even front, it’s been awhile since I heard a mix this well rounded….Freddy Fresh goes all out and covers a lot of ground on this mesmerizing Trainspotters Dream Mix, part 3……
DAMN..
No tracklist, but trust me when I say that this is no joke trooper…
" Blog Shots 60 "
With so many blogs out there sometimes it difficult to pinpoint the ones that deliver the goods on a consistent basis….”Milk Crate Breaks” has been impressing me lately with their approach to posting…
Sometimes they rock too many You Tube clips, but when they drop gems like this Sheffield drum record they get my full undivided attention (YA HEARD)……
If your a drum fiend like myself, I highly suggest that you swoop this one up with a quickness…BLAM.
" 3 Battlefield Sure Shots "
Here are a couple rockets to help boost your morale levels..Big up to everyone that checks in on the daily, I SEE YOU..
1…E-Rule. “Nik Love R.I.P.” off of the Cold Currents album..
When it comes to thorough west coast emcees, “E-Rule” is in a class by himself….It’s almost criminal that cats slept on him so hard..Take a listen to this joint and get your mind right JACK !!!!
2…M.O.P. “Body On The Iron”.
Out of all the cuts on that new “Sparta” album, this one gets the most burn over here…
3..Planet Asia & Planet Asia. “Madrid”.
Just got done listening to that “Cracks In the Vinyl” E.P……..To be honest the project sounds a little rushed as if it was just thrown together, regardless “Madrid” bangs something decent…
