” Fluent : Tokestrumentals “
First time the UNKUT RAW “First Toke” instrumentals were available…Dont Sleep cuzzo !!!!
“This is an edited version of the instrumentals from the 2007 Green Llama release, Uncut Raw – First Toke. It includes all 34 beats used on the original release.
First Toke was the first official release by the Green Llama Movement in 2007. GLM started as myself, a music maker from Pennsylvania and staying in Akron, Ohio at the time, and ILL DON, the native New Yorker creative. After finding some old public access radio broadcasts of The Green Llama radio show, we adopted the name. We added Decay, the Chicago native emcee, who then subsequently added his close friend, Selfish, another Chitown emcee, and formed the groups City Slick and Uncut Raw, respectively. I had been sending beats to Selfish for a year or so, putting together tracks and keeping them in the vaults. Once we had a lot of tracks recorded, we mixed it all, put the final touches on it and the rest is history.
The album received good reviews at the time and started to develop a word of mouth buzz. When the album was picked up and re-released by a label in 2008, after a strong initial push it had to be pulled from shelves when a sample dispute was started by someone who was sampled for an interlude on the album. The result meant the end of selling physical copies of the album at the time through the label, and left a salty taste in our mouths from dealing with the business aspect of making the music that we love.
Work began on the follow-up album, which was titled “Heavy Dose”. The album was completed but due to the universe deciding it wasn’t time to release it, the album did not see the light of day.”
” Large Pro Spotlight “
The original MAIN SOURCE crew (Minus Sir Scratch) are currently in Europe celebrating the 25th anniversary of the bonafide classic “Breaking Atoms” album..DJ EVIL ED took it upon himself to assemble a two hour session stacked with strictly LARGE PRO related material…
ED does the right thing by flipping rarities, b-sides, and a heavy helping of remixes instead of the typical joints you often hear..
PEEP-
” Heavy Classic Steez “
ALBEE SQUARE 87
is far from a slouch when it comes to documenting classic 80’s street culture..This spot is top ranking and inspiring on many levels, so do yourself a favor and absorb the jewelry…..
PERIOD.
” German Regime : Soul On Ice “
Sometimes cats ask me “Yo Drasar you should submit beats to so and so”, but what they don’t realize is that I was never really into the whole submit tracks steez..WHY ?
1..I have been rhyming, Dj’ing and making beats since a youth – why would I submit tracks to dudes that aren’t really proficient with their bar game ? If I can out rhyme you with the greatest of ease – why would I send you joints ?
2..To be honest I need to be in the studio while the rhymes are being laid down..E-mail collabs never inticed me very much…
3..Sometimes dudes try to rearrange and reformat your shit and I’m not down with all that…The beat is sequenced the way it is for a reason..
With that being said – a few years back the LO – LIFE affiliated crew GERMAN REGIME caught a little wreck over one of my joints…They blessed the mic with tales of revenge killings, dedication to POLO, set ups, and all that other grizzly shit that makes for a interesting listen…My only complaint is the scratch sentences at the end of the song (which could have been executed a little better, I had nothing to do with that aspect)….
PEEP-
” Willie Stubz : MIC “
Beat Nuts affiliate WILLIE STUBZ flexes some aggressive bar work over this new Psycho Les heat on “Mic”….Turn the volume up a few notches and catch a 2017 zone..
” Stranger Than Fiction “
” If your a racist you can’t be a skinhead – because skinheads wouldn’t exist without Jamaicans “….
I’m quite sure my parents would have never imagined that in 2017 their child would still be dealing with the same type of bigotry, racism, and ignorance that they faced growing up…The type of bullshit I have seen lately is truly puzzling, but not surprising in many ways…For all the Hip Hop Battlefield readers that do not reside in the States – I want you to know that we are currently faced with some heavy shit over here…Hate groups are currently galvanizing under the guise of “Free Speech”….
Sure you have the right to “Free Speech”, but please keep in mind that you have to deal with the repercussions and heavy opposition for your words and actions…Many people are disgusted and will not allow these war mongers to spew nonsense publicly without a confrontation…PERIOD…
It’s only fitting that I post up a documentary about the infamous ANTI racist outfit S.H.A.R.P. (SKINHEADS AGAINST RACIAL PREJUDICE)…
PEEP…You might just learn something..
” Honor Society : Red Dawn “
Here is some more under the radar jewelry for all those cats on the hunt for another dose of rarities in their life…The mysterious HONOR SOCIETY CREW from Maryland dropped a few 12’s in the mid-late 90’s…Out of all their joints, “Red Dawn” gets the most burn on this side…
PEEP-
” Repost : Motion Man Steez “
I originally posted this up when it dropped back in 2010, but I gave it some burn the other night with a new set of ears…MOTION MAN is straight up crazy with his flows, topics, patterns, and his overall approach has always been extremely bugged the fuck out!!!! “Adult Situations” definitely has it’s moments – if it bypassed your radar on the initial splash here is your chance to check in…
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS – “POURING YOU MO CHAMPAGNE”, “YOUR THE WOMAN”, “CLOSE CALL”, “TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT”, and “INTER OFFICE ROMANCE REMIX”…
” Easy Like Sunday Morning “
Say word, this is more like it..SHANTY SOUND from Italy drops some serious 45 action…
You got 50 minutes of classic gems from the 60′s, mixed live and direct from strictly 7 inch vinyl. Music from Jamaica’s two most respected and iconic labels Studio One and Treasure Isle, no need to say more. This mix flows great, you’ll find some stuff that you already love, and some stuff you might have slept on as well. It’s a long way back to the 60′s: when music lasts so long you can bet it’s well built. The musical foundation of Reggae is rock-solid, that’s why this genre is still so popular.

” W.A.R. : Fix Your Face “
I’m going to teleport you cats back to 2000 for some rare, under the radar treats on this glorious Tuesday afternoon…The Brooklyn Crew W.A.R. (Wanted & Respected) dropped a few singles in the early 2000’s – “Fix Your Face” gets the championship belt out of all their material in my opinion…
” Strictly New #5: 2017 “
Unfortunately in the Hip Hop world crews come and go…
So I have to give dap to the HIERO crew for being able to still function as a unit in 2017…Not only are these dudes functioning they are truly thriving with numerous businesses, an official HIERO DAY in the city of Oakland, world tours, a label, a facility in the depths of East Oakland (Which I have been to), infamous merch, a internationally recognized logo, clothing lines, collabos with Converse, FLUD, Nike and all types of other shit that is mind boggling on many levels…Regardless of how you might feel about their current musical output (Which I understand to some degree) – I have respect for them and somewhat admire cats that started with a major deal in 93 and still rock nonstop in 2017 on their own terms…
TAJAI has some new shit on deck that is worthy of your attention- RAP NOIR “Let It Rain” produced by UNJUST…Cant front, this shit is kinda grimey which was a nice surprise coming from him….
PEEP-
” Strictly New #4: 2017 “
Truth be told, this is probably the most impressive outing from CONWAY that I have heard thus far…”50 Shots” produced by X-RAY is worthy of some heavy burn in your rotation- DONT SLEEP.
” Strictly New #3 : 2017 “
My cuzzo AYATOLLAH collaborated with HELL RAZAH a few months back for the “Piece Of The Action” project…On “Record Shopping” flexes some flashback bars detailing his early come up days in the galaxy of Queens NYC…
