” Egyptian Lover Speaks “
This interview with EGYPTIAN LOVER is truly hilarious (in a good way)…
Somehow Noz was able to get him to open up about his history, pedigree, outlook, accomplishments, love for the TR-808, and future plans with no restraint whatsoever…
Do yourself a favor and absorb some electro funk jewels….

” Schooly D : Back To The Future “
You know it’s going to be a beautiful day when you get to hear some fresh SCHOOLY-D joints that you never heard before….
The Philly Hip Hop pioneer gets the limited edition vinyl treatment with the re- release of the “Cold Blooded Blitz / CIA” 12inch on Roots Forward Records…..This initially dropped in 1985 with extremely limited pressings, so unless you lived in the Philly area it’s likely that you were unaware of it’s release…
So do the right thing and scoop up a copy while supplies last (only 250 copies available)….
” Tuesday Body Rockerz “
DJ Phoreyz (The Get Back) comes correct on this flavorful mix, “REGGAE AND DUB IN STEREO”…..He also has many other mixes on his site that deserve some burn as well troopers…
When you head over there, tell him the grimy dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you..
Turn the volume up and catch a groove…
” King Cesar – All Hail The King “
” You want money, fuck the money, you want power, fuck the power, you want respect, fuck respect / you want gold , fuck that we take control”…..
“They say life is what you make it, please, I know niggas with degrees, with no cheese, no trees, no ones, no funds / life is crazy hard even if you got a job”….
HAHA.
The man behind those ugly bars (KING CESAR) just released a new project entitled “All Hail The King” on Mindbenda Recordings…
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD top picks – Put It On Smash, Switch Lanes, The Track Killa featuring MEGALON, Time 4 Us, and Alpha Murder….
DJ Muggs Speaks “
DJ MUGGS has fully proven himself as a capable producer over the years, but he also gets busy on the wheels of steel…
A caught a show with him, Q-Bert, Rhazel, JS1, and Supernatural a few years back while visiting Vancouver, Canada and I was pleasantly surprised at his selections, blending skills, and overall presence behind the decks…
Even though I’m not a fan of his recent venture into DUBSTEP, I still believe he has the talent to make a dangerous Hip Hop record (hopefully his upcoming project with Mayhem Lauren will prove that)….
Take a listen to this new interview he rocked with those Conspiracy Radio dudes (ULTRA MAGNETIC MC’S are also on this broadcast so don’t sleep homeboy)…
” Saturday Pressure ”
When it comes to ugly soundscapes, lo-fi breaks, and paranoid scratch sentences, the San Diego based crew “SKRAPEZ” got you covered trooper…
“These beats are on some corrupt, adulterated, b-movie horror tip. Experimental noise, distortion, haunted rock and blues loops, death bells, heavy low end…it’s a halloween bag full of razor apples and poisoned taffy. The music is pressed in extreme low fidelity to make sure you’ll get the most abrasive, grungiest sound possible. Your ears will feel pain”.
Big up to all my peoples in SD.
” More Crate Morale “
A record doesn’t have to be extremely rare in order for me to be hyped up about it…Some of these cats put more value in the scarcity of a record than the actual music itself…
I could give a fuck less if it’s a joint from 1992 and only 50 copies are in circulation – if the tracks are straight trash (FEEL ME)..
Anyway, I copped this CAMOUFLAGE LARGE “Hitman Holding Steel” 12 inch back when it initially dropped in 1996…For some reason I never fully gave “HHS” a decent burn because I was always drawn to the more sinister frequencies of the B-side, “Cock Back The 9″…
I decided to rock “HHS” earlier today and it sounds better than I remember it…. Not sure what happened to CAMOUFLAGE LARGE (Ghetto Minds,21 Gunz, Underground Assassin, E-Knight), but their name should be mentioned more often when cats are talking about 90’s hardcore..
CLOSE RANGE RECORDS 1996…Produced by E-Knight
” Crate Morale “
Since I’m constantly on the hunt for new records to add to my collection, sometimes I forget about certain ones that I already have (sound familiar)….
HAHA…
While flipping through the stacks recently I stumbled onto this CRAIG G & MARLEY MARL “Let’s Get Up” 12 inch with non-descriptive cover work ….Surprisingly the DJ Sage produced B-side takes the win with “I Get Support Regardless”….
2003 D&D Records….
” Hip Hop Treats “
Of course I have a DRASAR belt buckle that I pull out on certain occasions, but now I might have to add a Flud turntable joint to the B-Boy accessories arsenal…
If your thinking along the same lines – CHECK IN….
” Large Pro Speaks “
Mr. Large Pro recently linked up with those cats over at the Combat Jack show for some in-depth interview action….
Do yourself a favor and tune in duke !!
“Just Blaze actually kicks things off by declaring that the Professor at Large is in fact the greatest producer of all time because he produced two of the best beats ever, “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” and “Looking At The Front Door.” Combat touches on how Illmatic changed the landscape of rap music (no mention of how it ruined hip-hop, however). Just Blaze gets into the nitty-gritty of production and explains how Extra P gave rise to small things like sleigh bells instead of nothing but hi-hats on beats.
But things really get going when Extra P starts talking about meeting Rakim for the first time out in Long Island. He follows that epic story with another one about showing up late to a session with the always punctual Big Daddy Kane, only to find Kane chilling in boxers and a hoodie. Extra P can hardly contain his laughter while revealing, “Mr. Cee was there.”
” Jazzy Jeff Vinyl Destination EP.11 “
“In this week’s episode, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the crew say farewell to Europe with stops in Bristol, Rotterdam, Minehead, and Southport. This trip to the UK was especially memorable because Jeff got the chance to rock the famous Southport Weekender with three of his closest friends, Jill Scott, Kenny Dope, and DJ Terry Hunter. Be on the look out for haunted hotels, food mishaps and lots of laughs with old friends”.
” New Shit On Deck “
In my opinion this new COUNT BASS-D project (In This Business) is the best material I have ever heard from him…Also, DJ CRUCIAL did a nice job of keeping the beats right in the pocket without all the extra additives and preservatives…
My dude MF GRIMM even hops on the mic device for a round of wordplay on “That’s Good”…
” B-Boy Roxrite Wreck “
BC-One champ ROXRITE is far from a slouch when it comes to splashing cyphers worldwide…You have to give him proper credit for pushing himself over the years to reach the level he is at….
Check out this mini-doc that captures his international travels, all types of floor action, jokes, etc….
” Vendetta Vinyl 2013 “
I’m not going to even front, 2013 has been a real good year for “THE KID”….
My crates are getting chubbier, the project I rocked with MF GRIMM (Good Morning Vietnam) is sold out, our “Be Noble / Time” 7inch is on the verge of selling out, and we just finished recording our follow up, GMV – 2 “The Golden Triangle”…
Keep your eyes peeled for the release in a few months…
GRIMM and I have a few other surprises up our sleeves before the year is over…I will make sure to keep you updated…
The good folks over at VENDETTA VINYL have a couple other GRIMM releases available….
