" Hip Hop Holiday Status "
Last weekend I had the opportunity to rock a production with my brothers Peezo (Funk What Ya Heard), Demik, and Big Kufu Onerz…
We decided that with all this holiday hysteria popping off, why not celebrate something actually worthy of praise : HIP HOP…
Every single day is a motherfuckin Hip Hop holiday over here on this side of things…365 days a year we are constantly looking for that perfect beat, striving to perfect our skills, and strategizing on ways to keep our Hip Hop morale up regardless of how many of our peers have ” fallen the fuck off “…
So take a look at these flicks and peep some 2012 high powered frequencies duke…Salute to all my troopers out there that know what time it is !!!!!
1…PEZO- God damn, this is just crazy……Symetrical, electric, and straight up B-Boy…..
2…DEMIK- Check out the movement in this piece famo…This is some old tidal wave shit……SPLASH.
3…DRASAR MONUMENTAL (ERAN)- I had fun splashing this one up….Take a look at the color scheme, fills, and all the extras…..Big up to Kufu for helping me keep it right and exact..
4…KUFUE ONE- This piece is screaming flavors…….Kufu has so many styles under his belt that he can rock effortlessly with originality and finesse….Not to mention that he can flip characters and letters like a champ..
BLAM,BLAM..

And as the year comes to a close please remember to stay focused, inspired, and determined to get your goals accomplished…..Mr. Hip Hop Battlefield will do the same…..
ROCK ON…
" 4 All My Wu- Headz, Part 10 "
All the way from Vancouver, Canada comes this mix by “DJ Rich – A” that features an hour of Ghostface Killah material (Tales Of Suspense)…..
You will hear come classics, remixes, B-Sides, sample source tunes, and all types of other shit…
Tales of Suspense – A GhostFace Killah Mix by DJ Rich-A
" Lord Ron On The Decks "
UZN DJ Lord Ron has been putting in much work on his “Preserving The Culture” podcast….
Every single week he uploads another mix for us to rock…..Check out the latest session 12/16/11 it’s full of brand new steamers that will make your ears perk up…..
" More Fire : Freddy Fresh Editions "
I’m not going to even front, it’s been awhile since I heard a mix this well rounded….Freddy Fresh goes all out and covers a lot of ground on this mesmerizing Trainspotters Dream Mix, part 3……
DAMN..
No tracklist, but trust me when I say that this is no joke trooper…
" Blog Shots 60 "
With so many blogs out there sometimes it difficult to pinpoint the ones that deliver the goods on a consistent basis….”Milk Crate Breaks” has been impressing me lately with their approach to posting…
Sometimes they rock too many You Tube clips, but when they drop gems like this Sheffield drum record they get my full undivided attention (YA HEARD)……
If your a drum fiend like myself, I highly suggest that you swoop this one up with a quickness…BLAM.
" 3 Battlefield Sure Shots "
Here are a couple rockets to help boost your morale levels..Big up to everyone that checks in on the daily, I SEE YOU..
1…E-Rule. “Nik Love R.I.P.” off of the Cold Currents album..
When it comes to thorough west coast emcees, “E-Rule” is in a class by himself….It’s almost criminal that cats slept on him so hard..Take a listen to this joint and get your mind right JACK !!!!
2…M.O.P. “Body On The Iron”.
Out of all the cuts on that new “Sparta” album, this one gets the most burn over here…
3..Planet Asia & Planet Asia. “Madrid”.
Just got done listening to that “Cracks In the Vinyl” E.P……..To be honest the project sounds a little rushed as if it was just thrown together, regardless “Madrid” bangs something decent…
" Sample Source Shit "
Fake Blood’s latest journey of sample source material (Used #6) definitely has it’s moments…..
Out of all the mixes in this series, this one right here is probably my favorite…..Almost a solid hour of dusty originals, no reissues, no comps, no nonsense.
Don’t take my word for it homeboy- scoop it up yourself and prepare for heavy turbulence..
" KA – Grief Pedigree Blazers "
At this point I’m really anticipating the release of KA’s upcoming album “Grief Pedigree”…
I have already posted up a couple joints, now your going to get the latest addition, “Chamber”…..You already know what it is : hardbody, drop kick rap with a twist….
No more videos, we want the album already kid…HA.
" New Shit On Deck "
Check out this Matnez (Waxaholics) remix for “Crab Niggas” with Respect The God, Furious, and Smith & Wesson on the vocals….I can see this joint getting thrown into the mix…
You know the motherfucking drill..
Via- BCC4L.
" Friday Sureshots "
That dude Nutso is on deck with some newness just in time for the weekend…
DJ Skizz – “Santo Remedio” featuring Timeless Truth & Nutso……Skizz has been doing his thing with the beats lately, be on the lookout for his album BQE at the top of 2012….
" Sound Boy Killing "
In my mind dancehall / reggae music and Hip Hop are one in the same….
Both art forms flip wordplay over different types of rhythms…Sound system culture is a big part of their development..Also another important factor that is often overlooked when analyzing the correlation between Hip Hop and dancehall /reggae :
COMPETITION……..Competition fuels innovation, which leads to massive amounts of creative explosions throughout the years…
It’s no surprise that one of Hip Hop’s pioneers (Kool Herc) hails from Jamaica…
One of my favorite toasters Mr. Bounty Killer gets the mixtape treatment by a cat named Selector Rondon….When it comes to badman, guntalk lyrics “BK” is one of the illest to ever do it….PERIOD….
This mix starts off real strong, but loses momentum for a couple tunes (You will notice what I’m talking about)…..Don’t trip though fam, things pick up again rather quickly……So turn the motherfuckin volume up, lick off a couple shots and catch a rudeboy zone…

" Columbo Black – Prelude To Scrap Metal 2 "
After listening to Columbo Black’s newest offering late last night I was quite surprised…..Dudes flow and wordplay are impressive, and it’s obvious to my ears that this brother spends a healthy amount of time cracking open the books…
Another thing that caught my attention was his subject matter…Instead of falling victim to average cliche’s – “CB” flipped creative concepts in a way that I haven’t heard in a minute….FRESH..
I almost passed on this project due to the non-descriptive cover work (Can’t judge a book by it’s cover I guess)….Take a listen trooper..
" DJ Prestige & Bluewater Freak The 45’s "
God damn this collection of 45 steamers will put you in the right from of mind….Bluewater & Prestige let off a nonstop barrage of heavy drums, soul power, dusty grooves and all that other fly shit…
Quit snoozing duke, scoop this up and catch a groove..
" More Comedy Relief "
Awww man…..
It’s crazy that a situation that popped off in 1998 can finally see the light of day in 2011….Take a listen to this conversation between L.L. Cool J & Cannibus before the “Second Round KO” fiasco….
The funniest part about this clip is that L.L. comes off more like a politician than a rapper….He actually sounds shook that things could escalate into a battle type of format with “Bis” (Maybe it’s just me)…..

" Blog Shots 59 "
Recently Mr. Hip Hop Battlefield was summoned to write for a new blog that is centered around all things wax (Long Live Vinyl)….Every once in awhile I will sprinkle a couple jewels over there so keep your motherfuckin eyes peeled….
Big up to “Set Rule” in Baltimore / Bodymore for checking me in…
In the meantime, head over there because things are already up and running….For instance, one of things that caught my attention was a new joint by that cat Lewis Parker entitled, “Swimming With The Sharks”…..Dude is no joke on the beats or the rhyme department (Big up to my man Kid Dyno for putting me up on this a couple weeks back)….
So when you head over to “Long Live Vinyl” tell them that grimy kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack !!!!!!!
