" Break Your Face "
Before I even get started, I want to send a big shout to Babz from the Alter Ha Crew in Boston for pointing me in the direction of this mix…
Lean Rock & B.Ryan launch off a barrage of high frequency breaks on their latest project, “Ingredients Of Flava”…..I’m only a quarter ways into it and let’s just say, shit is ridiculous…..These aren’t your average sleep inducing breaks, I’m talking about under the radar drums for your domepiece trooper……DO NOT SLEEP..
Ingredientz of Flava (Official Mix) by Dj Lean Rock
" 95 Live "
“He know we gun sling, he know a nigga down with the dream team / he hate to see a nigga getting cream”.
Back in 1995 Gunslingas dropped an album entitled, “We All We Got”………That title reminds me of New Jack City for some reason HAHAHA….
Anyway the album is packed with death threats, crime stories, stick ups, etc…….Here a couple of my top picks.
“Dirty Mack For Life”
“Killas Is Coming”
" New Shit On Deck "
I’m really digging this new hot rock from the man who helped introduce the world to that one guy, Sean Carter HAHAHA…..
Jaz-O returns with some ammo on “From The Projects”, my only complaint is that Defenders Of the Faith and Minnesota rocked the same exact sample recently (I know most people could give a fuck less about that type of shit, but it still matters to me famz).
Regardless, give it a listen and get your mind right…..
(Bottom piece rocked by my dude Shucks One out in London)
" Weekend Flavors "
El Rob & Mondo (Cash Dreed) are back with some more flavors for your Sunday shenanigans…..”Cash Still Rules” runs twelve songs deep with an assortment of styles and concepts…
Big up to the whole 916……
" Mad Face Invasion "
Awww man this DJ shit is out of control these days….
I have witnessed so-called DJ’s stand behind the decks with goofy sunglasses on, a cornball scarf to match, with a mean mug scowl on their faces and no skills whatsoever……..They might dress the part, they might even talk the part, but when it comes down to it they didn’t spend enough time doing their homework to be classified a DJ in my opinion….
I’m not even as critical as you might think : Give me a couple blends, original selections, and create some type of vibe, that’s all that I ask for…..
Of course I prefer to hear a set that includes doubles, scratches, and a beat juggle or two, but if you give me the bare essentials I will give you a pass…..HAHA…
The problem is that some of these DJ’s don’t even have the elementary stage of spinning under wraps….
Are you sick and tired of these so-called celebrity DJ’s getting gigs when they don’t know what the fuck they are doing ? Growing weary of hearing wack selections, trainwrecks, and all that other bozo shit ?
Angry DJ. Com is the spot for you homeboy……
Shout out to my famz Sha Onerz for the lookout…
" Comedy Relief 3 "
It’s been awhile since I posted up one of Ed Lover’s hilarious rants, so without further delay here goes “C’Mon Son 26” for all of you cats that are in the mood for a hearty laugh….
Lady GaGa, Lil Wayne, DMX, Kim Kardashian, and other well deserving suspects get thrown completely under the bus…HAHA..
TUNE IN-

VIA- GRIM TIMES…
“Bang Bang The Gang” produced by Sid Roams….
HARD WHITE… Bang Bang The Gang (Produced by Sid Roams) by THEGRIMTIMES
" 4 All My Wu- Headz, Part 7 "
One of the accomplishments that many people overlook when talking about the RZA, is that not only did the abbot help “PUT ON” his fellow clansmen, he also had a hand in assisting the launch of a million splinter groups….
Sunz of Man, Grave Diggaz, Killarmy, Black Knights, Royal Fam, Brooklyn Zoo, GP Wu, Shyheim, and I’m quite sure it would take hours to include the rest…
The Wu- Syndicate (Myalansky, Joe Mafia, Napoleon, etc) hail from Virginia and released their self titled debut in 1999….One of the stand out cuts from that album is “Where Was Heaven” an autobiographical, heartfelt snapshot of the struggle…..
LISTEN UP…
I’m not sure what the current status is of the group, but they came out with a second album “Gremlenz” 2009, Myalansky dropped “Drastic Measures” in 2008, Joe Mafia released “This One” in 2002, and Napoleon just released a new mixtape (Best of Napoleon)….
Out of all the joints on that project, “Money, Cars, Clothes” caught my attention the most…
YOU KNOW THE MOTHERFUCKING DRILL……
" New Shit On Deck "
If you send me an e-mail you better believe I read that shit….It might take me a couple days to finally get around to it, but I try to take the time to sift through my endless amounts of e-mails when time permits…..
ZJUDAH @ YAHOO.COM is the address if you want to send me demos, half-way interesting articles, secret society breaks, and all that other shit…..One of HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S regular readers (Donalski) hipped me to this cat from Virginia that goes by the name, “Steady Fam”…..
Give it a listen ya’ll and tell me what you think ?
" 100 BPM Mix Flavors "
I’m going to speed up the tempo a little bit and send you guys into a trance…….DJ Wicked ( Wicked Takeover, Stanford KZSU ) put together the excellent Buckwild and SF comprehensive mixes, and now he is going to stick to a theme once again and blend joints that clock in at the 100 BPM range….
Take a look at the playlist homeboy, yeah this is fully packed with heat…..

" All City Mixtape "
DJ Bizkid (Yeah, I know that name sounds familiar HAHA) hits us off with an all graff theme mixtape…..Of course your going to hear Artifacts and a couple other well known writers anthems, but he also throws some surprises into the stew….
I do not co-sign every song on here, but he gets credit for sticking to the format from beginning to end…..
" Industry Rule 4080 "
It’s no secret that the music industry is full of shady characters….
On this clip with Wax Poetics T.V. the knotty headed terror “Tame-One” speaks candidly about his gripes with the machine, the Artifacts reforming, and other topics that will grab your attention……..
LISTEN UP…
" Mobb Deep Hits The Road "
If those Mobb Deep dudes roll through your city, make sure you do the right thing and check them out…..I had the opportunity to catch one of their performances recently and I have to give them the two thumbs up…
Their catalogue is massive, Big Noyd made a surprising guest cameo, and motherfuckin Dave Chapelle was in attendance (Heavily guarded in VIP of course HAHA)….

" Fakts One On The Chops "
One third of the “Perceptionist Crew” is back on the set with some chop action for all you beat heads out there…..I’m only half-way through and I must say that this Boston dude has got some fly shit popping off…
Haven’t heard much from Fakts in recent years, he must have been in the lab all this time concocting flavorful beats such as these…
Perfect listening on this beautiful Sunday afternoon…
