" DJ Pump Kills The Decks "
DJ Pump (Eh Team DJ’s) is no slouch when it comes to getting busy on the wheels of steel….Matter of fact, I have kept his “Steady Rocking” mix on rotation for a number of years….
He recently posted up one of his older mixes, “Golden Era 90-94″…….God damn, instead of resting on his laurels he goes in with an abundance of trick mixing, scratches, blends, and all types of wild shit…….
Sure you might have heard some of these cuts before, but he flips them to the point that it will capture your attention….
CHECK IN DUKE…

" For Those That Like To Groove, Part 26 "
Whenever you create a piece of art you never know where it will end up…..You put your all into it, you calculate your attack, you put your best foot forward and try your hardest to convey your talents…..
Sure it’s nice to hear what other people feel about it, but ultimately I do what I do for self satisfaction….I get my rocks off by making beats, scratching, DJing, sketching, rhyming and all that other shit……If people gravitate towards it that’s a plus- if they don’t it’s no sweat off my nuts I’m going to keep wrecking shit regardless….
With that being said I want to send a huge big up to the GBK crew, Grand Good, Day By Day (MF Grimm’s Site), Funk What Ya Heard, Daily Diggers, Shiek vs Wong, Cold Twelvers, Culpa Onerz, and everyone else that supported my last project “Every Posse Get Flat 2.0″…
I do not send out E-mails, or have a Facebook, or even a Twitter account so I appreciate dudes posting this shit up without having to play the “Cop A Plea Game”…..
Mr. Battlefield doesn’t move like that…..
Anyway, Friday is here so your probably looking for some weekend wild out theme music, right ?………Here it is troop- Roger Rivas Volume 2 is stacked with ill organ renditions of some of your favorite tunes……Heavy stuff…
" New Shit On Deck "
Six Two Six Shift is back with another quality vinyl release for all those still checking for that extra live shit…..This time around the very ill Steve Colossal teams up with Australian producer, Debonair P for a session of goodness…
I’m really feeling “P’s” production steez….
Instead of trying to make his sampler perform all types of gymnastics- he keeps it right in the pocket with the basics….Booming drums, well crafted samples, and scratch sentences on the breaks….
This is not the first time this deadly duo have collaborated on a track….”P” remixed a Steve Colossal cut awhile back “Time To Shine” that deserves more attention (When can we get an album together fellas)….
Peace to my man Set Rule in Baltimore (I will be ordering doubles this week)…..
“Time To Shine” Debonair P Remix………This is that shit !!!
" Fat Lace Magazine Steamers "
Check out #6 of the Fat Lace Magazine podcast straight from the UK….
Expect to hear tons of under the radar cuts, comedy, and even the white label Smith & Wesson track, “Nothing Move Without The Money”….
One of the highlights of this podcast is that they drop knowledge during the segues….So put on your thinking cap, turn the volume up a notch, and prepare for collision….
" Mid Week Rockets "
Godfather Part 3 just released a new album (Medicine Man) that had a couple rockets on it……If he decided to press up a couple singles from this project, these are the two that I would bang with…
“Blaq Rims”
“Hood Grind”
" Lord Finesse & K Def Rock The Breaks "
Finally had a chance to sit down and analyze this session of body rockers by Lord Finesse & K-Def (Coffee Breaks for Heroes and Villians-WFMU)…..Damn, I really can’t believe you can get this shit for free (Ya Heard Me)…
Seriously..
Motherfuckers should be opening up their wallets and paying for this type of heat……Concider yourself lucky and scoop this up if you know what’s best for you trooper…..
Rock On…..

" Halftime Radio Show – 10/12/11 "
Mr. JS-1 stopped by the Halftime Radio Show (Skizz, Eclipse,Petey Cologne, etc) for a session that rocked all new new Hip Hop joints..
“I tried to play whatever newer tracks i had that i liked personally. There are some songs i forgot to play, couldn’t fit in or didn’t have clean versions. This is a decent straight up mix, recorded live from the radio show (i edited out the talking parts) with almost 2 full hours of treats. There is new songs from Common, Kool Keith, Bumpy Knuckles & Premier, Torae & Pete Rock, Showbiz & AG, Evidence, Rasheed Chappell, Maffew Ragazino, PH, and an exclusive KRS song i did that was never played before. There is lots of alright hip hop available and most of it is for free! You just need to search around a bit and get familiar with which sites to check and what names to look for. I got 1,000 new songs in the past few months and most of them are horrible, but 10% is ok. That still leaves me with 100 good tracks. Anyways, here is 44 tracks of brand new hip hop, cut up live on HALFTIME RADIO,

" Breakbeat Lou Speaks "
Lean Rock (Floor Lords) caught up with one of the main forces behind the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series, “Breakbeat Lou” – for a round of critical information, breakbeat history, and all types of fly shit….
You do not want to sleep on this one JACK !!!!!!
“Lean: I loved looking at the artwork on the UBB record sleeves, and I always wondered how you guys came up with some of the ideas for the covers. What was the significance behind the different characters or themes you guys would chose for your record sleeves?
Lou: Our crew was in tune with the culture, and with each other. Kevin Harris was the man behind the artwork. He was Danny Dan the BeatMan’s (founder of Dusty Fingers) boy, and Beatman was the one that referred him to us. Kevin had some dope art to begin with, and he was a true hip-hop head! All we did was fine-tune some of his skills to reflect the UBB style”.
And while your at it you might as well peep this mix from Lean Rock (Lord Of The Drums)…….
BLAM,BLAM….

" Sach 5th Ave "
After the unfortunate passing of Yusef Afloat, one time Nonce member Nouka Basetype AKA “Sach” has continued to craft his original brand of Hip Hop….
In 1998 he dropped “Seven Day’s To Engineer”, he followed that with “Suckas Hate Me” in 2002, and of course the hypnotizing “Sach 5th Ave” album in 2005….If you missed this joint when it initially dropped, I highly suggest that you track it down….
The elusive producer “Omid” handled the bulk of the beats with a interesting, moody, drum heavy approach…..
Take a listen…
“Rhyme Slayer Blues”………Damn, this is just straight up crazy….
“Slave Song”…
" No I.D. On The Beats "
What’s going on out there Hip Hop Battlefield posse ?
Has the work week put a damper on your morale ?…….Are you ready for the weekend to bring you new perspectives, energy, and a well deserved rest ?
I feel you family…..
You need some ammo to help spark shit off on the right note, so without further delay I’m going to hit you with that Friday splash off……..Even though No I.D. has somewhat changed his steez lately, he deserves credit for putting out some quality production over the years…..Not to mention he is currently the executive V.P. at Def Jam (I’m not really a fan of the record label anymore though HA)…
Regardless press the download button and peep some Chicago frequencies….
“NO ID & DUG INFINITE- THE SAMPLER “
And while your at it, you might as well scoop this other No I.D. release that has some bangers on it : “Invisible Beats volume 1”
Rock on and stay tuned for more activity on the BATTLEFIELD this weekend….
