” Joint Of The Day “
” All my niggas call us 2 Live Crew / We hit Mc’Ds and jack cars in the drive thru “….
I remember hearing “Jack Mode” back in the day, but I could never track it down…Thankfully it was re-released on the MUSICAL MELTDOWN project that dropped awhile back….Truth be told, YOUNG ZEE is a hilarious motherfucker that always makes me crack up even when he is talking about extra violent shit…
” Large Pro : Lab Work “
Mr. Large Pro drops some serious jewelry with Daniel Isenberg on a recent Q&A session….This is not your average interview so do the right thing and check in duke !!!!
Digging-
“I’m always digging. I always have to check for some new records. I just came back from Pittsburgh. I hit up Jerry’s, and there’s thousands and thousands of records in there. They have towering shelves of 45s. You have to get on ladders to go up. It’s kind of crazy in there.
“These days, since there’s such a lack of jazz in New York—they kind of canned CD101, and now they have WBGO which is dope—I’ve been kind of gravitating to the jazz a little more. We gotta keep that jazz flowing. They wanna throw the lid on jazz, so I’ve been going to a lot of jazz. Everything else after that—the psych rock, the soul. But definitely the jazz. I’ve been going hard trying to get the jazz records lately.
“This time [when I went to Jerry’s] I was looking for jazz, and the last time I was looking for jazz. But it varies. Sometimes I may be looking for a specific title. After record collecting for all of these years, it could be a combination. Like, I’ll have a list in my phone. I have songs that I’ve Shazam’d. It’s like a kid in a candy store when I go into a record store.
“I like Infinity Records on Long Island. A lot of times when I go into Infinity, it’s empty. And I can just go in there, and take my time and be easy with it, as opposed to going to the city to places like Academy or Brooklyn Academy. Like, I’m not the dude that’s in the record store on Record Store Day. I’m a luxurious digger. I be chillin’ out, coolin’, and taking my time. But I like Academy, Infinity, and I’ve been to a lot of Midwest spots that I came up in. But just all over, in general.”

My dude DR.BUTCHER recently did a interview with those guys over at Southern Vanguard Radio that will hold your attention….He goes into detail about his Hip Hop history and pedigree, relationships with G.Rap, MF GRIMM, Large Pro- production techniques, his role with the X-Ecutioners, and a gang of other shit that will keep you on the edge of your seats…
Over an hour of gems on deck, don’t sleep…

” Crime Music Library “
Recently a friend and I had a contest to see how long it would take for us to find a “beat tape” that we could rock out with…It took us a few days but GIALLO POINT’s “Crime Music Library : Black Thorn Instrumentals” gets the official championship belt thus far…
It’s not the most explosive, mind blowing shit, but there is enough drama on deck to perk my ears up..
” Slept On Jewelry “
It’s a damn shame that so many fly joints do not get the “shines” that they deserve in this era…Back in 2010 the northwestern production powerhouse VITAMIN D dropped the slept on BORNDAY EP that had some heat on it….
If I was the A&R for this project “Real Money” would get the 7 or 12 inch vinyl treatment without a fraction of a doubt..
