” Blog Jewelry “
This post goes out to my dude RIFF who will be heading out to London in a few weeks (have fun duke)…
BLOG TO THE OLD SCHOOL is a site that plays no games when it comes to unearthing rare UK gems….For instance, this cut by JOHNNY MC “Uno Get Rough” instantly caught my attention-mainly because of the extremely heavy ULTRA MAG influence (this piece of UK 12 inch history will cost you 79 dollars on Discogs)….
” 45 King & K-Def Steez “
Yeah I know this instrumental excursion by production heavyweights 45 KING & K-DEF has been out for a minute, but I make sure to thoroughly listen to joints front to back before I let them fly on the Battlefield…..Regardless of whose name, label, or collaborators are attached….
So if you haven’t heard this yet, give it some quality spins duke!!
” Frozen Files #1507 “
If your like me your always on the hunt for new mixes, podcast, and radio shows to rock while driving…Instead of being content with my current rotation – it’s a must that I add new things to spark different thoughts and keep my morale up…
MATTY C & SCHOTT FREE have been holding down their FROZEN FILES broadcast for a minute now…..Over two hours of nonstop joints.
” Power Moves On Deck “
I distinctively remember when the POWER MOVES era was ushered into the BBoy scene….Dudes like TWIX, K-MEL, IRON MONKEY, MACHINE, IVAN and plenty others were / are well rounded dancers, but they would crush ciphers with the heavy air moves and power combinations….
Just when you think that you have seen everything – a new wave of BBoys take shit to amazing heights and beyond….If you think I’m bullshitting take a look for yourself…
” Mista Sinista Speaks “
This is the most in-depth interview on MISTA SINISTA that I have ever heard…If your a fan the X-ECUTIONERS, if you appreciate his contributions to beat juggling, or if your in the mood for Hip Hop history 101 – do yourself a favor and peep this recent Q&A session with the SOUTHERN VANGUARD…
“BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the #MistaSinista #interview session! We take it back to Queens this week with one of the X-men’s / X-ecutioner’s finest – and given we’ve done interviews with Dr. Butcher & Rob Swift this year, it was great to connect the dots and get Sin’s history as a fledgling DJ in the late 80’s/early 90’s. We really take it back as we get into the immense, early influence his family had on him musically, the first hip-hop record he copped and how a lot of young folks today are missing out on experiences like this due to the way music is consumed. Dig in deeper, you say? How about the Loud days and Steve Rifkind’s vision for the group, Sin’s production work for Kukoo in the mid-90s and the infamous cuts he laid down for the Beatnuts & Common during the same time period…Resurrection…Are You Ready….The B*tch in Yoo…what more I can there be?! There’s lots more, but we can’t give it all away here, so buckle in and listen up people”
” Fat Lace Magazine # 10 “
After a lengthy hiatus – the FAT LACE MAGAZINE Crew is back on the set with more under the radar joints for your listening pleasure….
“Battlefield Rebooted “
*In the above pic – J-ROCC, MF GRIMM, and myself….
For the last 8 years I have posted on the regular, but after some heavy technical difficulties I had to go on the hunt for another computer (you know how that goes)…Now I’m back in effect and Hip Hop Battlefield will continue to bring you nonstop BBoy explosives without all the fuckery, payola, dickriding, reckless posting, etc…..
WHOAH-
Where do I begin?
My trip to the CAYMAN ISLANDS was incredible…I was able to spend some much needed time with family, drink copious amounts of white liquor, partake in wild FESTIVAL activities, attend some jam packed dancehalls, eat an abundance of conch fritters, get engaged to my partner of 11 years, and all types of other shit that still has me mesmerized somewhat….
I was asked to be on CAYMAN 27 news to speak about international musicianship, my family on the island, and one of my favorite topics – VINYL…..
*Major shout out to everyone that participated or assisted in our engagement party when I got back – J-ROCC, MF GRIMM, FDRZ, STATE, RIFF, KENDOO, SANTA, MAD MIGUEL, RASHAD, JUSTIN, ARON, ROBZ, JAKES, and everyone else (to many to mention) it is appreciated….
” Shabazz Scientific Jewelz “
Those Chopped Herring dudes recently came equipped with another dose of unreleased wax action for us to rock to…..This SHABAZZ THE DISCIPLE demo release is straight up monstrous on many levels..First of all the timespan is from 1989-1991 so should already know your going to hear more aggressive frequencies (which is always welcomed on this side), plenty battle rhymes laced with 5% references, and socio-political bars….
It’s a damn shame that heat this heavy was locked away in the vaults for so long…….
TRACKLIST-
A1: Blow Em Up Bazz
A2: Story
A3: Comp 123 ft. Plush & Su-Preme
B1: Lyrics Go
B2: The Method
B3: Party Wit A Tec (Original)
“Timberland Spacesuits “
My dude SELFISH recently informed me that he had a new instro project out on cassette that I should peep….The ill titled “Timberland Spacesuits” sessions come equipped with enough off-kilter, hazy chop work to garner repeated listens….
If you need more contemplation grooves in your life-do the right thing and check in….Out now on TURBO TAPE RECORDINGS….
https://soundcloud.com/turbo-tape-recordings/ttr007-selfish-x-sxmgdy-timberland-spacesuits-out-now
We’ll be back soon!
We had our computer crash and we are currently on the hunt for a replacement, which has put our posting here on pause! We’ll be back in a couple weeks with new posts, until then, if you need some of that good old fashioned B-Boy Morale check the archives! Stay tuned!
” Caymanian Pride “
I’m currently in the CAYMAN ISLANDS (Georgetown to be exact) visiting my family, eating all types of conch fritters, sipping over proof rum concoctions, listening to heavy rude boy tunes, sweating my ass off, and absorbing all kinds of jewelry from my elders….
I will be back on the 20th, so expect HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD to return with it’s regular programming on the 21st….
Much respect-
D
” 1972 : The Year of Renditions “
Since it is Friday, it’s only right I bless you with some heavy groove morale courtesy of the good folks over at the PARIS DJ’s spot (standards, versions, and revamps on deck)…
It’s a strictly 1972 affair so brace yourself for all types of action…
” Tape Rocking “
NORMAL BIAS is a blog that is dedicated to preserving archived tape culture….Radio shows, demos, and out of print material is the modus operandi – so quit stalling, head over there and scoop up some treats, but make sure you tell him the grimey dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack !!!
