” Flick Of The Day “
*ABOVE PHOTO – Me, MF GRIMM, TONY TOUCH & AYATOLLAH.
I just got back from a long week of digging, Djing, nonstop shenanigans, and all types of Summer time action….
WHEW…
While hanging out with my brothers MF GRIMM & AYATOLLAH we ran into TONY TOUCH while he was spinning at a private late night spot…It was a interesting night to say the least..HAHA…
” Let The Beats Rock “
Spotted this BEAT TAPE by Arkivest on KANKICK’s bandcamp page..Give it a listen if your in the mood for some off-kilter, dusty instrumentals troop….
“This took forever but I feel it’s ready enough to share with Real Lovers of True Hip Hop Music…
I took many of ARKIVES tracks that were cold chillin’ and tried to bring ’em to the front. Various years from a variety of sources ( tapes/cd’s )..all worthy of a listen.
I then proceeded to hook ’em up properly.Overdubs of sounds here and there so you “short spanned memory folks” wouldn’t think they’re too long…..
Arkives is no ROOKIE…he’s been producing just as long as myself.
Most of these tracks were produced with the SP-1200 if not all (you’ll have to ask him).Here are a few credits he has worked on:
1.KAN KICK “Rock, Shockin’ It”
(ACID MASSIVE MUSICAL) 2004Due to adding a few extra tracks at the last moment…they miscredited him for this track he did…you’ll hear that beat on this mix.
2.Various – Archives lp (RAW WAX02) 2005

” K – Def Speaks “
It looks like it’s going to be a good day…..The CIPHER SHOW comes with the goodies once again duke…
“Kevin K-Def Hansford is a producer with a long and storied legacy. He hooked up with Marley Marl in the early 1990s and became a key part of Marley’s famed studio The House of Hits. While under Marley’s wing, he produced great records for Tragedy, Da Youngsta’s, and more. But it was his work with Lords of the Underground that would really cement his reputation. K-Def produced half a dozen songs on the group’s classic debut, 1993’s Here Come the Lords, including the omnipresent “Chief Rocka.”
After leaving Marley’s tutelage, K-Def’s production career continued, with songs by Ghostface, Diddy, UGK, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and even his own group, the duo Real Live. In recent years, K-Def has released a number of stellar instrumental works with Redefinition Records, and continues to find new ways to expand the palette of sample-based music”.

” Body Snatching “
Since I’m on my UK hardcore shit today, here is a 17 minute piece on Icepick who was affiliated with the UK hellraisers, HI-JACK……If you are unfamiliar with his brand of wreck, I highly recommend that you give the mind blowing sure shot “MC KILLER” by the Body Snatchers a thorough listen…
UK STAND THE FUCK UP….
The release of the Genocide EP marked the return of The Icepick and DJ Supreme along with MC Grizzly. Despite its brilliance, the record never moved beyond test press white label stage and as a consequence many, including myself, doubted its very existence. The exact reasons for its limited press remain a mystery. Whether it was due to outstanding contractual issues or the content of the record which saw a number of UK rappers, such as Curoc and MCM, fall victim to The Icepick’s forked tongue, the 20-30 existing copies combined with the magic formula of dope song plus artist with a rich legacy have ensured that this is the pinnacle of most UK collectors’ wants lists.
While MC Grizzly was relatively unknown, Supreme and Jack Jones (as The Icepick is now called) were already well-engaged in creating their own rich tapestries. The two had both been key members of the HQ Squad in the late 80s, Supreme as deejay and producer for the mighty Hijack and Ice as emcee for the Zombie Headhunters. The classic ‘Burial Proceedings In The Coarse Of Three Knights’ would provide their first shared platform before Icepick was invited to spit on ‘The Contract’ which appeared on ‘The Horns Of Jericho’ LP. However, apart from appearing on the anti-apartheid posse cut ‘Beyond The 16th Parallel’, the fate that eclipsed Hijack’s burgeoning career after the release of their debut LP, would mean that their reincarnation as the Body Snatchers would be the next time they would meet on wax.
Throughout the EP, The Icepick’s viscous flow and volatile lyrics keep the audience on tender hooks whilst managing to inject some comedy via some classic metaphors:
“…You’re coming with the weakest rap, heard your LP, every track was crap,
Fuck around, be exact, you’re a pussy, your lips are piss flaps…”With graphic battle rhymes such as these, as well as possibly the first use of the C word in a rap record, The Body Snatchers manage to produce a groundbreaking EP continuing the trend first started upon the release of ‘Style Wars’. The travesty in all of this is that this superb record would remain largely unknown until relatively recently when Aroe & The Soundmakers included it on their definitive UK mix CDs: ‘The Crown Jewels’.
So, with fleeting memories proved accurate, it is surprising that a record of this calibre not only failed to be officially released but also remained a secret for so long. ‘MC Killer’ – it does exactly what it says on the label!
“Britcore Barrage “
During our interview with CONSPIRACY RADIO a few weeks back, the topic of BRITCORE and it’s influence on my production was brought up in the conversation….I was enthusiastic to speak about this somewhat unheralded style of UK hardcore (in the States) that doesn’t get the shines that it truly deserves…
I recently stumbled onto a site that brings the Britcore format to the forefront (Rock The B-Boy Stance)…
” Superfriendz Mix On Deck “
I spotted this SUPERFRIENDZ mix on my dude UNIK ONE’s site and thought it was worthy of passing it on to the BATTLEFIELD faithful….
BADCOP on the the wheels of steel once again….
” For Those That Like To Groove : 45 “
The French crew from OPUS DOPUS RADIO keep the flames burning hot on their latest broadcast….It’s a slow burn, but once things get cooking you should prepare for a groove inferno…

” Soul Power Mode “
I have kept my eye on the mysterious outfit ALOHA GOT SOUL for the last few years…They started out as a blog highlighting the slept on Hawaiian funk / soul scene in the 70’s – early 80’s, and as time went on they shifted their focus to getting some of these rare gems pressed up on wax…..
They recently posted up a superb collection of Summer heat that is worthy of your time…Please do not sleep – this is the ideal soundtrack for a nice late night cruise through the city, beach patrolling, chicken hawking, backyard fiestas, and all that other wild shit….
“Chicago’s DJ Solson hit me up a while back about bringing Soul Time to the Windy City. He and DJ Darryn are hosting the first of many Soul Time In Chicago parties this Saturday, which also doubles as the release party for AGS-7001. To celebrate, Solson put together the above one-hour all-vinyl mix of Hawaiian gems”.
