” More Hardcore “
When it comes to sure shot mixes, Japan’s “DJ Koco” brings the goods to the table..Instead of taking the typical lazy route that I hear too often nowadays – he goes all out with a barrage of blends, doubles, well timed scratches, and explosive selections…
If you need more aggressive frequencies in your life take a listen to the high powered “Hardcore Hip Hop” mix Koco dropped awhile back….
-Big shout out to my manz UNIK ONE for the heads up!!!!
” Risen : Hell Razah Story “
Here is the trailer for ” Risen – The Hell Rajah Story ” that is due to drop sometime in 2017…The documentary goes into detail about Razah’s recovery from a life altering brain aneurysm, Suns Of Man, Wu-Tang Clan, and all types of shit that will give you a deeper look into this MC’s past, present and future…
PEEP..
” Jamaican Soul Power “
Since its Monday you probably need a little extra pep in your step….Thank me later !!!! The Techniques & Friends – Winston Riley’s Rock Steady & Early Reggae 1968-1969 courtesy of those heavyweight DUB VENDOR dudes.
Winston Riley started his production career as a singer with an enviable track record, having formed the Techniques in 1962 and hitting the top of the charts two years later with the splendid ‘Little Did You Know’ for Duke Reid’s esteemed Treasure Isle label. When the frantic ska beat slowed down and turned into rocksteady Winston remained the only permanent component of the Techniques, arguably Jamaica’s finest vocal group.
As the beat changed yet again from rock steady to the faster reggae format, Winston’s thoughts turned to production, and he decided to create his own ‘Techniques’ label. A serious man with a serious work ethic, the quality of his music was apparent from the start as he released hit after hit, producing and singing as part of the different combinations of singers and vocal groups that he worked with.
In 1970 he produced his biggest ever hit ‘Double Barrel’, a ground breaking track that went on to be the biggest reggae track of 1971, reaching the very top of the UK national pop charts in May, and peaking at number 22 in the US Billboard charts in August.
After this pop success Winston Riley continued working as he always had done, producing top quality reggae tracks with a host of Jamaica’s finest singers and musicians. After opening his shop in Chancery Lane, he continued on his quest for the best throughout the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and into the 21st century, never failing to bring his decades of experience and peerless production skills to bear on whatever contemporary music he was producing.
Winston Riley was at the forefront of the Jamaican music business for over forty years, an authentic reggae polymath who had embraced the roles of singer, songwriter, arranger and producer. He had been making plans for a new studio and museum in his Orange Street record shop right up to his death in 2012. He was truly one of Jamaica’s hardest working and most consistent producers, and these two albums represent only a very small part of his huge musical legacy.
” Showbiz : Rare Breaks 4 “
It’s somewhat criminal that SHOWBIZ’s name doesn’t pop up as much as it should when dudes are talking about top 5 producers..He has beats from the 80’s that could still obliterate some of these so called beat makers…
Luckily for us he remains busy and consistent with his brand of hardcore, sample based Bronx bomber material..Do yourself a favor and peep the latest edition of the “Rare Breaks” series…Highly recommended….

5 years ago, I dropped “Black Zodiac”. A mix of 70’s slow burning soul bangers I was all about. Joints that stood on its own for fans who liked their music to knock. Now I present the new installment, “Black Zodiac Two”. Nothin sweet about this soul right here.
*All selections from my personal vinyl collection*

” KRS Drops Jewelry “
I can remember a time when it wasn’t cool to be ignorant about certain aspects of life…Matter of fact, dudes like T LA Rock, Chuck D, KRS, and many others were using such a high vocabulary at the time that it inspired me to read more books and expand my mind…..
It seems like in this new era dudes are content with spitting remedial rhymes with no substance or poetic value whatsoever…..Fuck that shit, I refuse to dumb down my standards regardless of current trends or how low the bar is currently set…Alright, let me get off my soap box and bless you with some new KRS gems that celebrate Black History Month (The shortest month of the year – coincidence, I heavily doubt it)…
” Box Cutter Brothers 4 Steez “
