” MF Grimm Speaks On Unkut “
Fresh of the heels of our latest release GOOD MORNING VIETNAM, Grand Masta MF GRIMM speaks to Robbie from Unkut for a in-depth interview…
Robbie: It must be exciting to release some new music.
MF Grimm: This time around with Drasar Monumental, I feel like I’m just starting my career now, working with him. I’ve never been able to work hands-on with a producer like I’m working with him. It’s more than music, we get along like brothers. It’s not about profit margin, it’s about making quality songs and music. I have so much to learn that it’s fun to be around him, we’re both students of the game. Every song we did was created on the spot, was written that same day.
What else are you doing these days?
I’m currently the president of a multi-media company called Arch Enemy Entertainment. We work with USA Today, which goes out to 11.9 million people, so I’m in film and television. I’m responsible for a lot of writers, illustrators and animators. Music is something which I can only do when I make time for it. I started working with them in 2008 in marketing, and I made president in 2011.
” 1990 Live Wreck “
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD can strike at any time….Don’t think just because it’s Sunday afternoon that I’m not on my grizzly….So make sure you check in from time to time because I’m liable to rock at any given moment…
HAHA…
I spotted this live recording of LL getting busy at Chuck Chillout’s Birthday party in 1990, at Step One’s excellent blog “Only Built For Z-Share Links”….
This is a ultra rare recording so consider this a nice Sunday afternoon blessing..LL also hits us with a unreleased track that will make your ears perk up…..
” Let The Beats Rock “
Boston’s DJ Manipulator lets loose with this session of instrumental rockers on, “Fifteen Minutes of Madness”…
“Peace y’all. for this weeks #manipulatormondays I’ve decided to do something diffrenent. Instead of one beat, I put together a 15 minuet mix full of unreleased joints and you can download it for the low low price of 1 dollar!!!
(but if you feel like paying more that cool too)
All proceeds will go towards pressing my next EP/LP on vinyl.
I had fun putting this one together and I hope you guys enjoy”.
” Born Day Shouts “
Gotta send a Happy Bornday shout out to my ZULU cuzzo Planet Rockerz…..2013 is your year, keep those those Hip Hop flames burning trooper…
If you know the kid – send your respects at FUNKWHATYAHEARD….
” Raekwon Speaks “
The Chef stops by Combat Jack’s radio show for a round of heavy duty interview action…..
Check in you might just learn something..Things start off around the 30 minute mark…..
“Raekwon stopped by to drop some Lost Jewels on the crew as we tried to cram 20 years of rich history into one show. We talked about his love for house music, what makes him and Ghost stand out from the rest of the clan, living under the Rza dictatorship, how he made the Ralph Lauren Snow Beach ‘Lo piece a classic and what his name is via the Wu-Tang Name Generator. The Chef also drops a few bars on beats supplied by Just Blaze. Verbal intercourse at its best”.
” Vendetta Vinyl : MF Grimm “
You can find the project that MF Grimm & I put together (GOOD MORNING VIETNAM) on I-Tunes, E-Music, Amazon, Spotify, HHV, Access Hip Hop, Amoeba Records (LA,SF,Berkley), Rhymesayers 5th Element Store, Reckless Records (Chicago), Vinyl Records (Vancouver), Spot Records, and of course VENDETTA VINYL….

” New Shit On Deck “
Mayhem Lauren & AG The Coroner team up for a round of mic splashing on “Blades In The Wind”….Produced by ATG with cuts by Statik Selektah..
Be on the lookout for his upcoming project, “Sip The Nectar” in the near future homeboy…
” Joint Of The Day “
This is the best song I have EVER heard from Shabaam Sahdeeq….
On “Seasons Change” he spits some introspective bars over extremely fresh production chops from Lewis Parker…
CHECK IN DUKE…
” The Worst : A Prequel To The Next “
“The Worst” returns with another batch of bell ringers for you Hip Hop junkies out there in cyberspace…He earns points just for taking the time to rock some decent blends.
Any mix that has Scientific “Living Criminal” on it catches my interest…R.I.P.

” Let The Beats Rock “
Most of the beat tapes I hear lately seem as if they were made WITHOUT a MC in mind….Sure, they can make their samplers perform all types of stunts, but where are the pockets for dudes to rhyme on ?
Keith Science dropped a beat project last year that deserves some burn (Vessels of Thought 2)…I can picture cats lighting up a couple of these tracks..
Hip Hop Battlefield top picks – Archon 2, CCM, Century, Sepia, and Penni..
” Rap Is Out Of Control : 2012 Recap “
Here is a little DJ Eclipse 2012 recap action…….
He also lets MC’s like Kurious, AG, Wordsworth, Sadat X, and many others heat up the microphone…
” Grand Daddy I.U. – Self Made Man “
GRAND DADDY I.U. dropped a free album last year that I didn’t find out about until last night…
“Self Made Man” definitely has some highlights, I just wish he would have deleted a couple joints that rock all types of singing on the breaks…..

” Philly Wreckage “
You know it’s going to be a good day when you are blessed with the opportunity to see classic footage like this…..
Do yourself a favor and watch this documentary, “World Supreme Hip Hop” in it’s entirety if you know what’s good for you trooper….
Directed by FRESHCO….
” The Honorable H-Stax “
Finally got a chance to sit down and analyze this new H-Stax mixtape, (The Honorable) that was put together by PF Cuttin…..
This Gang Starr Foundation member still has what it takes to wreck mic’s in 2013…I just wonder why Marco Polo is producing his upcoming album and not DJ Premier ?
