” Pezo : 120 Lessons Mix Re-ups “
*Originally posted 10/11/13
My cuzzo PLANET ROCKS / PEZO was at the crib (WAX MUSEUM) a few weeks ago laying down this VENDETTA VINYL powered mix to honor the Oakland graff crew “GFC” (If you don’t know, GFC is a massive crew that carry on the tradition of skills over lip service, each one teach one, knowledge of self, and staying productive and active)..
“P” was about to call it a day at the hour mark, but the mix was sounding so monstrous I told him he should add on another hour to take “motherfuckers over the edge”…
So to add more fuel to the fire he stacked on ANOTHER 60 minutes of straight heat for ya’ll…Also you should keep in mind this is a off the top of the dome, strictly live, all vinyl mix from front to back..Salute to the entire GFC, everyone at Vendetta Vinyl, NORTH STAR ZULU’S, and my brother PEZO for keeping those flames burning !!
If your looking for some high-powered Hip Hop frequencies, you just found it troopers.Big up to all the independent labels putting out that fly shit.

Do the right thing and go cop doubles troops..
” Boombox Rock “
Since my last post dealt with tapes, it’s only right that I post up the trailer for “Search For The Boombox Creators”….This film looks promising…
CHECK IN….
Since starting this “docu-manhunt” last year, we’ve been fortunate to locate a few creators, meet some truly amazing and creative people that have become friends and collaborators, and to begin crafting a documentary that will tell the stories of the people, places, and times behind the iconic boomboxes.
After a couple months of filming and editing, the Boomboxラジカセ Creators team is proud to present a preview of the upcoming documentary film.
” Hip Hop Treats “
Since everyone wants to start rocking cassettes again, you might as well bang out in style homeboy….Damn, I never knew RL got busy in the walkman department……
FRESH IS THE WORD !!!
” Monday Mix Action “
The first time I heard PHOREYZ was on a John Doe live “GET BACK” mixtape alongside MELLO-D….What caught my ear was his selections, composition, and well thought out blends…
His site is flooded with mixes that touch on all types frequencies….
“More Library Pressure “
Being a die hard Hip Hop trooper trying to raise a three year old son has been a trip thus far….One thing that has really bugged me out is watching him naturally catch the “HOLY GHOST” when he hears certain breakbeats rocking…
As long as I can remember his spirit seems to go into “HYPERSPACE” as soon as those thunder drums catch momentum…So I enrolled him in a B-Boy class to make sure he gets the opportunity to rejoice and dance with other kids, learn the fundamentals, and add on to the magnificent legacy of this influential artform…….
I remember when my elders used to clown B-Boying and constantly told me it was a passing fad…FFWD to 2014 and my youth is carrying the torch for the cause…
WOW….
Anyway, the weekend is right around the corner – here is some theme music to bang out with…..
Compared to the big players like KPM, Bruton and De Wolfe you can hardly find any albums from the Bosworth library on the internet (one notable exception being the fantastic “Super Sounds Of Bosworth” comp). This is a shame because the music contained within this collection is top shelf. Most of the tracks find a perfect meeting point between funk, jazz and rare groove with some excellent breakbeats adding further spice to the mix. There is some crossover with other library compilations but who really cares when the quality is so consistently high? The tracks by Paolo Zavallone And His Orchestra are superb, familiar names like Teupen, Bastow and Snell all shine and “Hula Rock” with its subterranean bassline is always an enjoyable listen. The key to the Music For Dancefloors series is that the compilers took a disparate range of music and put it together in a way that sounds organic and compelling. It’s truly a must have.

” Q-Bert Speaks “
Scratch ambassador Q-BERT recently popped up on the SHOTS FIRED podcast for some heavy Q&A action with Jeff Weiss…
San Francisco turntablist legend, DJ Qbert steps into the Cosmic Zoo to discuss aliens, the Illuminati, trips to the porn store with a young Kool Keith, and the evolution of his career. Tune in for stories about his early years working with Mixmaster Mike, the formation of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, and his classic “Wave Twisters” movie/album.
In addition, Nocando and Jeff talk about attending an Action Bronson show, pogs, and why DMX should not have fought George Zimmerman.
” Lex : How About Some Hardcore “
Just got around to peeping LEX’S newest offering “H.A.S.H. – How About Some Hardcore” and it had a few joints on it….Can’t front though, I feel some type of way about him rocking the “How about Some Hardcore” title…
HAHA…
H.A.S.H?!: How About Some Hardcore?! is Queens-based MC LEX’s 6th studio album. It explores an element of Hip Hop that is often pigeonholed and misrepresented. This is LEX’s take on what he considers to be an underrepresented form of Hip Hop music in today’s climate.

HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICK “ROCK & ROLL”….
” Graff Morale On Deck “
* In the above photo – Orko, Slang, and Trixter, 1988.
I recently met up with my dude from Chiraq, MATTROCKS to catch up on some things, crack jokes, and go in-depth about the glorious history of Chicago graff….
A few years back he helped put together a strictly Chicago graff documentary called “I Write On Stuff” that will give your graff morale a healthy boost….Over an hour of nonstop jewels….
“From within the vast depths of Chicago’s graffiti culture, the artists who took part in this massive movement give a unique perspective in telling the story of a now silenced voice.
At one time, Chicago had a huge graffiti culture whose presence was felt all over the city. Graffiti was everywhere. In an attempt to stop this movement, the city launched a series of counter-attacks. When imprisoning these people didn’t stop them, the Graffiti Blasters were introduced. A fast acting clean-up force that quickly wiped out almost all the graffiti in Chicago. From a citywide art gallery, to being covered by coat after coat of brown paint.But the battle still rages on”.
Peep in its entirety….
