” DJ PRZM On The Mic Device “
I was listening to RACK LO’S “Polo Classics” mixtape late last night, and it featured a solo song with DJ PRZM handling mic duties….PRZM was known mainly for his work behind the boards, but many are unaware of how nice he was with his bar game…..
RIP – DJ PRZM, gone but not forgotten…..
” Streets Is Talking : GMV-2 “
I recently stumbled onto a thread on the UGHH forums where people were talking about “GMV-2” being the album of the year….
Can’t even front, I was excited to see it up there because MF GRIMM & I put a tremendous amount of effort into the project, and it’s rewarding to see that cats appreciate our creativity….A couple clowns tried to chime in with that foolishness, but to be frank, I don’t give a flying fuck…
There are still a few copies left, you can scoop up the vinyl HERE…
PEEP….
GRAFH WROTE – “As a longtime Grimm fan, I can honestly say that the first Good Morning Vietnam features what might be the best rhyming of Grimm’s career. Dude just absolutely spazzed on that album. Impressed the hell out of me. Haven’t peeped the second one yet, but plan to do so obviously”.
GUMBY WROTE – These two Vietnam albums are fire…I just bought them off amazon for my ipod….Good shit…
” Down And Dirty Tribe : Inna Cipher ”
When I first heard “Inna Cipher” by the DOWN AND DIRTY TRIBE on a Tony Touch mixtape in the mid 90’s – I damn near lost my marbles….
The guy on the second verse absolutely tears the mic to shreds….
DOWN AND DIRTY TRIBE put out another 12inch “Trail Of Tears / Atrocities Of A Thug” but after that I didn’t hear anything else from the New Jerz crew, unfortunately….
” Let The Beats Rock “
Seattle producer/ emcee/ engineer VITAMIN D is back on the set with a new collection of instrumentals entitled, “Hard Times”….I highly recommend that you give it some decent burn in the system…DONT SLEEP CUZZO..

” Article Don Status “
Even though it is currently freezing cold here in Vietnam, California – I’m still on some heavy tropical shit…
Pressure Sounds recently re-issued some rare material from Lee Scratch Perry’s BLACK ARK stash….You know the drill duke, turn the volume up, grab an ice cold Red Stripe, and catch a motherfucking zone…
” Friday Check In “
The Boiler Room is a mobile live DJ podcast that hits up various spots around the globe…This time around they bring AMIR (of Kon & Amir fame) to bless us with some potent selections….
He does bring some heat to the table, but I wish he would of taken the time to at least rock a couple blends (seems like a lost art these days)…Regardless, if your in the mood for some sample source material, rare grooves, and fly head nodders do the right thing and check in…
* Some of the cats in the background need to take a class on how to groove correctly…HAHA..
” Midweek Flavors “
I’m quite sure you heard part one of DJ Muro’s highly explosive “SUPER FUNKY AFRO BREAKS” mix….Here is part two to help you get your mind right and exact..
Turn the volume up a few notches and prepare for heavy breakbeat turbulence duke !!!.
“OC & Ray West : Just Cause “
Here is the second shot from the OC & Ray West collabo album “Ray’s Cafe”…
Be on the lookout for it’s release in the near future..
” Breakfast Of Champs “
My cuzzo MAD MIGUEL is a god damn monster when it comes to collecting…
Records, old school whips, kicks, vintage colognes, boom boxes, movies, tapes, beer signs, bikes, toys, and all types of other wild shit that would make your average collector rethink some things….
While building with him earlier today discussing the good old days of poverty and extreme frustration – he broke out this 1989 Wheaties Michael Jordan cereal box and blessed me with it (someone cares)….
Salute to you MAD MIGUEL for being an original California kid….

” Lord Digga 2013 “
Recently one of the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers hit me up in regard to a LORD DIGGA compilation I posted up a few years back….After much research I was unable to track down the comp homeboy….
But I did stumble onto a new site (The Highsmen) that is headquarters for all things LORD DIGGA related in 2013…New music, flicks, updates, merch, etc…
” Under The Radar : Mathematik, Repost “
*Originally posted 1/11
Since it is Sunday it’s only right that I hit you off with some official torpedos to aid in simmering you down from your weekend antics….Toronto’s “Mathematik” deserves more recognition for his impressive style of rhyming……Instead of flipping run of the mill braggadocio type lines – he speaks with substance, agility, and of course 5 % mathematics….
Math was once down with a crew called “Down To Erf” and they released a fresh E.P in 1998 (Rhyme Training) that is worth scooping…..DONT SLEEP.
TRACKLIST-
1. Insertion of Thought
2. Formation
3. Rhyme Training
4. To Each His Own
5. Learn To Earn
6. On My Mind
7. Relative Evidence
8. State Of The Art
” Walt Sicknin Steez “
This joint by WALT SICKNIN “Philly Wrecking Stuff” should help you start off your Sunday correctly…
Check in duke……Produced by Llingo APT for Kick Drum Records..
” Sunday Drama : Klute OST “
You want the drama, you can’t handle the motherfucking drama……
HAHA…..
Michael Small’s score to the 1971 Alan J. Pakula drama Klute remains one of the great lost soundtracks in American film. A proposed Warner Bros. LP was scrapped, and while bootleg copies surfaced in the years to follow, this 2006 Harkit set represents the first official release the music has received, albeit some 35 years into its existence. What’s frustrating is that Klute demands consideration among the finest soundtracks of its heady era. Eerie and portentous, Small’s melodies weave together elements of funk, psychedelia, and jazz to create a kaleidoscopic portrait of post-counterculture downtown New York. Themes like “Bree’s Abandon (Take It Higher)” and “The Tape” employ daring arrangements and exotic instruments that underscore Small’s mastery of texture and mood. The music is liberating but claustrophobic, perfectly capturing the tenor of its times.

” Born To Roll, Part 2 “
Earlier this week I ventured out of Vietnam, California to head up north to Portland, Oregon for a battery re-charge…While I was up there I had the opportunity to do some heavy digging (P-Town has over 20 record stores), sight seeing, catch a Masta Ace show, grub at my favorite Ethiopian spot, and go to the infamous Adidas campus facility……
WOW…
The campus comes equipped with a soccer field, various departments, and a impressive employee store that rocks all types of secret society gear for half off…..In front of the campus they had these ill shell toe statues that had made me bugging out…..
If your ever on a mission to check out the great northwest, I highly recommend hitting up Portland cuzzo, but bring your goose down or else…
