” Chernobyl Sessions : 2012 “
” Big up to MF Grimm Reaper / 2012, GMV banging out the speaker..I’m in the lab with the beakers, multi media / composing hardcore academia “…
On “2012” I wanted to transport the listener back to when Grimm and I laid down the first “Good Morning Vietnam”..At that point I had a huge arsenal of beats, and one of my favorite MC’s was writing aggressive bars over some of them..
My world was changing…
My firstborn sun / son (Jahmel) was recently born, I spent the majority of my time holed up in the studio, and I was on mission to start pressing wax and get VENDETTA VINYL up and running…FFWD to 2025, and I’m still on a motherfucking mission kid – and the M.O. is still the complete same..
WRECKAGE !
If you haven’t picked up the vinyl for ” Chernobyl Session” – I highly suggest you do so before they vanish into the ethers forever..All rhymes, scratches, and production by myself..

” Drasar Monumental : Chernobyl Sessions – 1 “
- PHOTO -Ayatollah & myself (Boxcutter Brothers – do your google research on the five projects we dropped if you are unfamiliar)..
AHHHHHHHHHHH, what can I say about the CHERNOBYL SESSIONS project that I dropped a couple weeks ago? A few words come to mind – DETERMINATION, PATIENCE, ANGER and MOTIVATION..
Out of all the releases that I have been a part of, CHERNOBYL SESSIONS took the longest to complete. The reason had nothing to do with “second guessing” myself, the reason is that I wanted to craft every bar, every beat, and all the mixing sessions to such a high potency that after repeated listening the listener would hear different things..
This type of approach doesn’t happen over night – it takes a tremendous amount of concentration and focus…The CHERNOBYL SESSIONS vinyl is currently shipping worldwide, so do yourself a favor and grab a copy before they vanish for good..
Much thanks and appreciation to everyone that is listening, sharing, and supporting…

” Gas Mask Beats 3 “
This is going to be a powerful week troopers…
First off is this 32 minute avalanche of pressure on your eardrums (Gas Mask Beats 3)…Far from a “snooze fest” beat tape, this particular body of music is flooded with non stop movement, crescendos, intricate layering, and dusted out chops…
In 2025 if you have no problem with predictable song structures and producers on “cruise control”- go the other way, this is completely on the opposite side of that spectrum..
Physical copies available at VENDETTA VINYL. COM also DITCD.COM
In the meantime, you can take a listen below…
” MF GRIMM & DRASAR – AH2 “
If you are a dedicated supporter of HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD / VENDETTA VINYL – you will remember that AMERICAN HUNGER REBIRTH was available on Dsp’s for a BRIEF period in 2019….FFWD to 2024 and the wax is finally seeing the light of day….
AH2 symbolizes the body of work MFGRIMM & DRASAR MONUMENTAL released from 2011-2019…The material the duo dropped still sounds as explosive and creative as ever, and AH2 is a prime example….This is literally a film on wax – character development, dramatic segues, unpredictable twist and turns, and ultimately trials, tribulations & elevation like the cover art states….
Speaking of cover art – it was created by KEO (Hip Hop historian, graff powerhouse & the man responsible for hand crafting MF DOOM’S mask)….
We are now shipping worldwide – no slouching, sleeping or snoozing because these pieces will vanish extremely fast..Thanks for your support over the years it is appreciated to the fullest extent..
” Sebb Bash : Beat Tape “
SEBB has a higher “batting average” than most when it comes to beats…Hailing from Switzerland, the DJ / producer samples from a wide range of genres which prevents his material from sounding predictable and stale….On his newest offering “Nuggs”, he provides the perfect seasoning for your weekend shenanigans…
” J Love Newness “
“Ran up on a kid he was ready to shoot / reminded him of the truth, like old school drum loops”
Haven’t heard anything from J LOVE for a minute…But of nowhere he drops two full length’s at the end of 2023…My favorite of the two is “Over Aggressive”…
WHY ?
Take a listen to “Midnight Run” and peep how he delivers a well narrated block tale with the greatest of ease, over a dope backdrop by Gee Dubs…J even took the the time create a video that matches the storyline (Lost art these days)..
PEEP-
” Drasar – Darker Than A Million Midnights”
For the last year and change I have spent an enormous amount of time, energy, blood, sweat and tears crafting my upcoming release ,”Darker Than A Million Midnights”….Once again I handled the beats, mixing, rhymes and scratches….
I delved deeper into certain socio-political jewelry this go round, because I’m growing tired of MC’s spitting a bunch of remedial rubbish…It seems as if their is an influx of scatterbrain bars, and bozo punch lines that wouldn’t transfer very well if you read them on paper (HA)..
In order to keep the balance in the mix- I had to insert some ultra violent battle rhymes to even things out for all of the slouches that think this is some type of fucking game!…
The wax is in stock troopers- and we will begin shipping on the release date, June 12th, 2023..
Below is the sampler that I put together, and to tell the truth- the sampler sounds better than most of these Hip Hop weasels entire album…Feel free to spread around..
Happy Memorial day to all of the true Hip Hop soldiers that returned to the essence.
” Top Ranking Drama “
Marsellus Wallace comes equipped with a heavy dose of sinister material on the “Shelf Arrangements” session…The perfect backdrop on this rainy Sunday evening..
” DJ Sheep On The Breaks “
One of my personal pet peeves is when cats put out break beat mixes with the same played out breaks we have heard a million times…Fuck all that- surprise me with some secret society heaters- isn’t that the whole point ?
Australian power house goes all out with this session flooded with heavy drum break jewelry…Start your weekend correctly and hit the play button amigo.
” Roar In Harlem : Unique Mecca Audio “
Before I had a better understanding of who UNIQUE MECCA AUDIO was/is, I remember the image of his store immortalized on a Brand Nubian 12 inch (Love me, or leave me alone)….Unfortunately like many others from the crime riddled streets of NYC in the early 90’s – he got caught up in the drug kingpin grid and ended up spending 20 plus years behind bars..
In his recently released book (A Roar In Harlem) he goes into detail about the pitfall of hustling, violence, prison war stories, etc….
If you do a brief google search, you will also find his entertaining podcast that are laced with all types of crime boss jewelry….
” Specs One : Elevators “
Recently Seattle Hip Hop heavyweight SPECS ONE unearthed some secret society recordings from 1993 (Elevators)..Much respect to SPECS for keeping it innovative now and back then….
Consider yourself blessed.

” Kick Jewelry : Air Max 270 Bowfin “
I have a few pair of the Air Max 270 Bowfin joints, and to keep it all the way funky- they are not only extremely comfy, but also light and durable at the same time…
Named after a fish that can breathe both underwater and on land, the Nike Air Max 270 Bowfin sneaker is designed with versatility as its focus. The upper construction of the silhouette features elements of trail shoes and water moccasins: laces that integrate with the webbing through a drawcord design, booties for a snug and secure fit and an Air unit for cushion.
If your on the hunt to add more ammo to your stash – I highly recommend these ridiculous came joints..
” Midweek Heats: Varon “
G.S. Advance AKA Varon let’s off a barrage of nonstop quotables on “Frankenstein”…If you know what’s best for you give it some decent burn troop..
Produced by X Ray.
” Killy Shoot : Live 95 “
If you close your eyes and listen to this cut by KILLY SHOOT & GIALLO POINT, you just might thinking your listening to a unreleased song off the REAL LIVE “Turnaround” album from 1996…
The nonchalant, dead pan flow that KILLY rocks is heavily reminiscent of LARRY O- which is not necessarily a bad thing when he unleashes lines like, “Pushing dope B, fuck the athletic shit / ego tripped a bit, on some Ultra Magnetic shit”..
BLAM-BLAM..
