” Part One Speaks “
If your unfamiliar with the LEGENDS THURSDAY Graff podcast, I highly suggest that you head over there for a heavy dose of aerosol morale, history, ill stories that you rarely get to hear, beef, trials and tribulations, and all types of other wild shit….
On episode #10 the legend PART ONE (TDS) hits us off with some treats….
“Kick Jewelry “
KRASH gives us a little BALLY session while playing DANA DANE “Nightmares” in the background just to let you know how real it is…..I wasn’t feeling the first pair, but the second ones definitely got my motherfucking attention…..
” Sach : Essential “
For those of you that are constantly on the hunt for vinyl to snatch up – those dudes over at HIT & RUN just released some SACH treats for the crates….
“After ‘World Ultimate’, Sach and Yusef intended to push their musical boundaries even further. In 1998, Sach formulated an ambitious project called ‘Seven Days to Engineer,’ in which he’d conceive, produce and record an entire album in a week. The song, “Look At Me Mean,” has a murky, uneasy vibe miles removed from ‘World Ultimate’s happy-go-lucky sound. For Yusef Afloat, the journey ended at age 28. In 2000 his body was found beside the 110-Freeway. Whatever the cause of death, “It was devastating to me, and it affected me in a lot of different ways,” Sach says. “It made me disavow the industry. I still wanted to make music, but I didn’t know how to proceed.”
Sach disappeared for a while but emerged in 2002 with ‘Suckas Hate Me,’ and in 2004 recorded his third solo album ‘Sach 5th Ave’ with producer Omid. In the years since Sach has maintained a prolific solo career, self-releasing nearly a dozen projects ranging from LPs to collaborations and instrumental tapes. As Sach Ill Pages and with Name Science (with Ino Oner), he’s pursued a more abstract lyricism and leans more heavily on jazz instrumentals than he did with The Nonce, but he’s the same rapper.
Fast forward to 2016 and the forthcoming release of ‘ESSENTIAL [HNR57] a remastered twelve-track “Best of” SACH compilation album, serving as a re-introduction of Sach to a new generation of hip-hop lovers, producers, beat makers & emcees. This extraordinary musical document comes complete with cover artwork courtesy of Augustine Kofie, the legendary photography of Eric Coleman, plus illustrative and informative liner notes by luminary Carlos Nino,and is available on limited-edition 12″ tangerine colored vinyl, (only 300qty pressed in collaboration with Fat Beats), plus Cassette tape (includes two non-LP bonus tracks “Heavenly Spit” & “Robot on Ya”)”.

” Boom Shots On Deck “
When it comes to top ranking toasters in the dancehall I would have to put MERCILESS AKA WARHEAD in my top five list without question….Out of the all the clashes I have peeped over the years, I have never seen anyone else take on 3 challengers simultaneously and slay every one of them (Merciless vs Bounty Killer, Beenie Man & Ninjaman – check out Sting 2000 for further analysis)…
It’s a crying shame his name doesn’t ring bells the way it should because this dude is a straight up problem on the mic….VICKSMOKA took it upon himself to assemble a strictly MERCILESS mix session that will pound your ear drums into submission….Over an hour of rude boy pressure..
” Drop A Gem On Em “
The foul mahdi himself Mr. TRAGEDY KHADAFI is the special guest on the DROP A GEM ON EM (4th & Long) podcast out of Queens NYC this evening 5:30 eastern time…The cats that rock these interviews are on a hot streak, so you should do the right thing and check in if you know whats best for you……….
” Soul Survivor Steez “
This glimpse into the SOUL SURVIVOR studio footage is a blessing to be able to view…..Over an hour of Hip Hop morale on deck!!!!
” More Breaks For Your Face “
Awww yeah, this is more like it….
DEATHHOP blesses us with 50 breaks in 60 minutes troopers (Intoxicated Breaks)…..Joints from all over the world were used in this mix so prepare for some heavy international break morale…..
Please do not sleep!!!
” Bumpy Knuckles : Emotional Greed “
I was beginning to wonder when I would hear a new BUMPY KNUCKLES & PREEMO collabo…”Emotional Greed” deals with the trials and tribulations of failed relationships, parental rights, spite, etc…
CHECK IN….
” Mathematik : Re-Ups “
*Originally posted 1/11
Since it is Sunday it’s only right that I hit you off with some official missiles to help you simmer down from your weekend antics….Toronto’s “Mathematik” deserves more recognition for his impressive style of rhyming……Instead of flipping run of the mill braggadocio type lines – he speaks with substance, agility, and of course 5 % mathematics….
Math was once down with a crew called “Down To Erf” and they released a fresh E.P in 1998 (Rhyme Training) that is worth scooping…..DONT SLEEP.
TRACKLIST-
1. Insertion of Thought
2. Formation
3. Rhyme Training
4. To Each His Own
5. Learn To Earn
6. On My Mind
7. Relative Evidence
8. State Of The Art
” Agallah : 2016 Steam “
You have to give AGALLAH props for being able to maintain as long as he has in a unstable Hip Hop climate…From the East / West Record days, to his stint with Purple City, Game Records, and everything else in between up until now – AGALLAH has released a steady stream of material without any signs of slowing down…..
On his latest project BO: “The Legend Of The Water Dragon” he gets loose on the mic and the boards…..
” Vendetta Vinyl Broadcast #5 “
I was recently summoned by the wild dudes over at VENDETTA VINYL headquarters for some 2016 hardcore turntable action…..Lately I have been so entrenched in the production side of things, it was the perfect time to hop on the decks and assemble a dangerous set of grimy selections, remixes, blends, doubles, twist and turns and all that other explosive shit….
The tracklist alone should motivate you to download this session – but their are some tracks that were not mentioned because they were only used as spices and extended layering, so don’t snooze….
Anyway, big shout out to everyone that respects the wreck, it is appreciated to the fullest….Turn the volume past ten, strap on your collision helmets, and prepare for another round of severe pressure on your ear drums duke…
Feel free to spread around-
