” Philly Fresh “
Since my beloved team the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES is headed to the motherfucking Super Bowl this weekend, it’s only right that I post up some top ranking Philly energy for those that check in on the regular…I’m positive I rocked this many moons ago, but if you missed it the first go round – you know the drill cuzzo (The Freshco & Miz Story)…
“This is the story of two young perfectionists from distant cites who once won the World Rap and DJ contests in the same year and then joined forces. Re-live their rise to Hip Hop fame and see how they impacted the culture before suddenly disappearing from the music scene in the mid 90s.
CAMEOS INCLUDE: Ice T, Ice Cube, DJ Enuff, MC Lyte, Treach, Kool DJ Red Alert, Monie Love, Dres, Phife, Yo-Yo, D Nice, MC Serch, Ed Lover & Dr. Dre, Guru, and DJ Wiz of Kid N Play”.
This version was completed 8/2010.
” More Boom Shots “
FILTHY RICH is back on the set for more of that explosive action on the “90’s Reggae Hip Hop Vol 2 Mix”….
“For those of you who aren’t familiar with the 1st volume, I had an idea to create a series of mixes containing 90’s dancehall reggae artists over 90’s hip hop beats. Everything from popular hits to obscure white label-only remixes, including my own custom blends of 90’s reggae acapellas over hiphop instrumentals from that time period. Volume 1 has received over 20,000 streams across all platforms and counting (not including downloads), and received blog coverage from the USA to Germany to Japan. Hopefully this volume is equally well-received. The first 40 mins of this mix starts with an uptempo, early 90’s boom-bap feel. The next 50 mins segues into mid-tempo, mid-90’s vibes”.
” Mighty VIC Collection Mix “
BEAT NUTS affiliate Mighty VIC definitely put his stamp on the world of production…It’s unfortunate that this Queens beat smith’s name doesn’t get mentioned enough when dudes are running off a the mouth talking about heavyweight producers that came out in the 90’s….
This mix by Boogie Blind that showcases VIC’s contributions will probably surprise some of you….Don’t sleep, his catalogue runs deeper than you might have previously thought…
” Camouflage Large Steez “
Gotta give props to UNIK ONE for posting up rare info and pics of the 90’s outfit CAMOUFLAGE LARGE that I have never seen before….I copped those two singles when they initially dropped, but even with the aid of the internet it is damn near impossible to track down articles pertaining to the group who appeared to have a promising future together…….
” Let The Beats Rock “
Here is the instrumentals of the “City Slick” album by Decay & Fluent….Decay’s rhymes on this project were solid, but here is your opportunity to catch a strictly beat zone…
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’s top picks – “Black Composer” gets the championship belt, “One”, “The Emcee”, and “Whatever”…
” Specs Wizard : Cool Mike Repost “
Every once in awhile I have to repost certain joints that I feel did not get the proper burn when I initially rocked them…..It’s a shame that we get bombarded with so much new music that it is virtually impossible to sift through everything we are constantly bombarded with…
If you add to the fact that the majority of these so called Hip Hop blogs are on a quest to only provide brand spanking new releases – it becomes rather easy to fall through the cracks….With that being said, I suggest you give this EP by the Seattle enigma SPECS WIZARD some proper rotation action if you missed it the first go round….206 STAND THE FUCK UP !!!!!
” Ice T : Cipher Show 2018 “
At this point I’m quite sure the majority of the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers are well versed in ICE-T’s storied career…Many of you have grown up right along with him, and have witnessed his contributions in a chronological fashion, heard numerous interviews, heard the bulk of his albums, seen the documentaries, and watched the bulk of his films….
So you probably think you know it all when it comes to this west coast powerhouse ?
Do yourself a favor and take a listen to this thorough interview with him on the Cipher Show with Shawn Setaro…It might just surprise you (I know I was thrown for a loop when Shawn unearthed the previously unreleased “Congo Rap” on the show)…..

” Paul C Revisited “
MANDATORY VIEWING…PERIOD…
“Some few years ago I made a film about the legendary Queens Producer and Engineer Paul C McKasty. Although his life was cut short his hands and ears worked on some of the most revered hip hop albums of all time.
He also mentored many including Organized Konfusion and most notably Large Professor. When I made the original film I put it out via my site to get the attention of some people who originally where very difficult to get hold of. Partly to schedule and also that Paul passing has left deep wholes in many peoples lives. I’m an outsider making a film about someone that passed on long before his time.After seeing my film and how I told the story many came forward to contribute. In 2015 I met up with Large Professor in the UK and filmed a piece towards the project. DJ Cool V shot a piece him self and sent it to me, as did Phase from the group Phase and Rhythm not forgetting K Cut from Main Source who I able to shoot whilst on the Main Source Tour.
I had always intended to revise the film but as I was working on my new film my computer had no space to complete the film. I since purchased another mac to handle other projects, since I never went back to NYC this year I took the time off to work on my projects and deliver a film about a man who the world can benefit from knowing about his contribution to this wonderful world of music.
I would also like to thank Reno from the Paul C Movie project that offered to clean up the audio for me and also allowing me to use some of the pics from there Instagram Page.Note this is a very low budget production that came about as I had accumulated so much footage over the years whilst working on my projects that I took to putting a film together.
Here is the revised version of the film, Memories of Paul C McKasty..Revisited. i would like to thank all those that supported the film Jim Slice for allowing me to use the footage from his film Skull Snaps. Marc Davis, Lindley Farley and Casanova Rud CJ Moore and Large Professor for their constant support”.

“Very RARE ‘cult’ Library album by maestro William Antonini and his orchestra recorded with the deep sounds of Dirmaphon studios in Rome. Very small Library and Orchestra production from the pianist Antonini during his career as session man, this is the unique long-playing we have and for sure a lost collectible gem. Excellent studio orchestra arranged by the maestro. Expect some strong Blues Rock influences with loads of Killer Psychedelic sounds all over the place / amazing Jazz-Funk and Blues Funk vibes / heavy Progressive riffs with Big Band Swinging Jazz and Jazz-Rock tunes / huge bassline with stoned flute and deep Tenor sax / amazing early ’70s Freakbeat clubbing tunes”.
