" Daily Diggers Radio "
Straight from London we have the latest broadcast from Daily Digger, “Kid Dyno”……The first half of the show he hits us with all types of breaks that are bound to help you get your mind right….On the second half he digs in the crates and laces us with slept on, under the radar 90’s Hip Hop…
Over an hour of head nodders……
Start your day off correctly and give this a listen troopers…..
" Slang Anarchy "
When it comes to that official wordplay, my crew has the crown for supplying countless motherfuckers with bars…
SERIOUSLY…
Instead of rocking tired cliches and boring adjectives – we are constantly updating our slang to help keep our Hip Hop morale up…Sure you have heard these words before, but the way we flip it gives them a whole new context with multiple meanings….
I’m not talking about corny comparisons like calling weed “broccoli”, or reciting wack phrases like, “Ya Smell Me”…..
Nah, were on a whole different level with our 2011 B-Boy, slanguage jack !!!!!!
PEEP…
1..”DIZZY”…
We used to say dizzy so much that motherfuckers thought we were crazy…..At one point everything we said had dizzy in front of it, “Dizzy DJ’s”, “Dizzy-Homo”, “Dizzy brothers”, “Dizzy chickens”, or just plain “DIZZY” by itself…..
* Proper Usage
” Yo man, I can’t believe you are playing some Odd Future in your car, you must be one of those DIZZY motherfuckers “……
2..”NAKED”
HAHAHA……Naked meaning no flavor, no soul power, no pizzazz…….Or lack of money, etc
*Proper Usage.
” I’m NAKED out here on these streets, and my bitch ass landlord just gave me an eviction notice “…
3..”NO ONE CARES”
Before JS-1 came out with his album with the same name, we turned the phrase, “No One Cares” into a monster……For some reason most cats didn’t like hearing this one….
*Proper Usage.
” I thought you were going to pick me up before you went to the disco, NO ONE CARES “…Or, ” Your always yelling about how wack Hip Hop is now, but do you support the legends when they perform in your city, NO ONE CARES “….
4..AP, BP, MP, WP….
We don’t say white dude, or asian man, or mexican cats……..We just say AP, WP, or BP’s…..What the fuck does that mean ?
Black powers, Mexican powers, Asian powers, etc……..It’s not used in a derogatory way, it’s used to identify when someone is giving someone from the same race better treatment……HAHA……Or it could get flipped many ways depending on the circumstance…
*Proper Usage.
” I noticed that you got some extra hot sauce packets for your meal, it must have been the BP’s “……….”Unfortunately I didn’t get the job honey, they saw that I was BP and they threw my resume in the trash can “…..
5..RADICAL.
Not surfer dude radical, this form of radical is just another way of saying extreme, ultimate disrespect, wild, crazy, or completely not giving a fuck…..
*Proper Usage.
” That girl had a RADICAL booty “………….” Your a soft ass punk, don’t try to get RADICAL with me you god damn herb “….. ” Damn, that smoke smells RADICAL “……..HAHAHA…
Were the slang dons and don’t let anyone try to tell you different…..I could go on for days, but this seems like a good time to end this shit….
Thanks for checking into the battlefield- it’s going to be a crazy week so stay tuned……….
" Funky Technician Splash "
Be on the lookout for Lord Finesse material straight from the vaults courtesy of Slice Of Spice Records…….Now we will be able to hear ill DITC smashers that we should of had access to in the 90’s….
And just to wet your appetites, here is a remix of “You Know What I’m About”…….
Lord Finesse – You Know What I’m About (Remix) (Snippet) by Slice-of-Spice
" Drasar Monumental On Production "
When I make beats I start with a clean slate every time…Instead of loading up a bunch of kits, or using kicks and snares that I have used in the past- I make sure to scour over my records until I find something new that I haven’t rocked before….
WHY ?
Because I don’t want to get caught relying on certain techniques or sounds when it comes to production…..This approach has helped me develop a non-stop record buying ethic where it’s impossible for me to get bored of my collection…..I have been buying records since 1983 and to be quite honest- I’m still on that never ending search for the perfect beat….
Anyway, a couple years back I posted up one of my remixes of “God Bless Ya Life” by the Ill Biscuits….Now is the right time to bring it back for all of those that didn’t catch it the first time….
I hate to pat myself on the back- but I believe I really knocked this shit out the park…The chops match the melancholy vibe of the accappela perfectly, the drums bang of course, and the sequences make perfect sense….
So quit stalling jack and download this Drasar Monumental exclusive shot……BAM,BAMZ….
“God Bless Ya Life- Drasar Monumental Remix “
" Milkcrate Jewels 36 "
Milkcrate Jewels is here once again folks….
This is the segment where I dig through my palace of chubby crates and unearth slept-on gems……Were going to go all the way out to Toronto, Canada for a session of goodness this time around…
“Mathematik” was apart of a group called Down To Earth in the 90’s…..He eventually went solo and released a couple albums and singles, but for some strange reason many heads in the U.S. are unaware of how ill this dude really is…..
For example peep the bars he spits on “Learn To Earn” from the Beat Factory Rap Essentials Compilation (1996)..
" 4 All My Wu- Headz, Part 8 "
Back in 2006 Trife Diesel, Cryme Life and Tommy Whispers splashed up the set on Peter Parkers “Future Flavors Show” for a round of mic wrecking, jokes, and all that other shit….
Check in and do the right thing trooper…

" High Powered Breaks "
If your on top of your break beat studies- than you would know what album got flipped for this 2011 release….
Anyway, Shawn Lee’s Incredible Tabla Band recreates the original recipe with a new millennium twist…..Usually I’m not into this type of thing, but I have to admit that these guys did an excellent job of adding their own spin on things…
Here are a couple highlights…
“Let There Be Drums”.
“Apache”
" New Shit On Deck "
Big Noyd is back on the set with more ammo for 2011…

" KA – Cold Facts Illness "
Whenever I hear dudes complaining about how their is no new fly shit out, I just laugh to myself….
Maybe your looking in the wrong places ? Maybe you don’t have the time to sift through mad corny shit to find the jewels ? Or perhaps your just lazy and you expect good Hip Hop to just fall in your lap ?
Regardless, fresh joints are constantly dropping……”KA” had a standout verse on Roc Marciano’s album (We Do It)……There were even talks of a collaborative album with the deadly duo (Metal Clergy)…..
Today I spotted a cut by KA entitled Cold Facts……Wow, this is just straight up ridiculous..
Take the time out to peep his wordplay, patterns, flow, and I promise you that your in for a motherfuckin surprise….Hip Hop Battlefield gives this two thumbs up !!!!!
" Every Posse Get Flat 2.0 "
Yeah man….Yeah man, I told you motherfuckers that I was going to drop “Every Posse Get Flat 2.0.” sooner than later…..
I also told you that I have plans for the suckers this year….HAHAHA….
The kid feels real good right about now….WHY ?
Because I am about to drop a certified M.X. missile right on your forehead…..I’m talking 40 minutes of nonstop turntable abuse, rudeboy pressure, BATTLEFIELD production, and all that other wild shit that will make the average herb tremble in his skinny jeans (DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME)…..
If your expecting to hear a compilation of “Lovers Rock” tunes, your barking up the wrong tree……If your expecting to hear a mix full of “pay to play” dubplates, your barking up the wrong tree……If your expecting to hear a project full of shake your “poom poom” selections, once again your barking up the wrong motherfuckin tree….
If you look at the cover art carefully (By Viben Onerz) you already know what’s going down…..STRAIGHT WRECK…
