" Hip Hop Battlefield Remix Rockets "
O.K. folks it’s about that time again…….
You know what I’m talking about…..Another remix rocket from the captain of this Battlefield battleship homeboy…..I decided to give ya’ll a healthy dose of bass, snapping drums, and that extra special spice that is bound to raise your blood pressure levels…
The original version of Out The Box (produced by Pete Rock)-featured Tony Touch, Large Pro, Masta Ace, and P.R. on the vocals…
So turn your speakers to level ten, take a deep breath, and brace yourself for collision…..POW,POW….
All beats wrecked, sliced, flipped, mangled, chopped, manhandled, and stretched out by ME !!!!!!!!!
" Joint Of The Day- Rain Blood Edition "
When I first heard this song I almost started flipping out on everybody…..
“Rain Blood” features underrated Megalon on the mic totally smashing everything into shreds…….Not many M.C’s can ride a beat that sounds this chaotic….
This is the type of shit I can listen to on repeat all day with the greatest of ease……Produced by MF Doom…
And while your at it, scope out this rare interview with Megalon with U.Grap.De……..
Interesting read indeed…..
" Back To Burn, Part 2 "
Mr. Keith Murray is back with some more drama talk on this new joint “Venting”, produced by up and comer Ayden….It has been awhile since I have heard anything from this former L.O.D. & Def Squad repper….
Sounds like he is on fire again…..
Peep..
" J Live On the Decks "
“This is the latest installment of the mixtape series “First Things First”. Like the previous two, Volume 3 is a mix of quality hip hop, both old and new. All of the songs are the first real song on their respective albums. As always, “skits and interludes not included”. First Things First Vol 3 is both mixed and hosted by DJ J-Live, with assistance and guest drops from super producer J-Live, and emcee extraordinaire J-live “.
Damn …..J Live makes beats, spins, and is no slouch on the mic……Triple threat when it comes to this Hip Hop shit….
Check In trooper…..
" For Those That Like To Groove, Part 2 "
Berlin based D.J. Mr Phipson takes us on a voyage to the land of Brazil for this explosive podcast….If this doesn’t help jump start your afternoon, I don’t know what will…HAHA…
” Episode 5 presents you music containing elements of Capoeira and the afro-brazilian instrument Berimbau. A deep journey featuring tracks from Bossa and Samba Classics to Baile Funk and electronic breaks. Enter the Roda! This is a voyage into the cultural heritage of Brazil.”
" Crate Digging Madness "
There is no rush that matches the feeling that I get when I find a crazy drum break that hasn’t been rocked before….It could take weeks, or even months, but when I eventually find one- I instantly flashback to my childhood……Back then I was using the pause-tape method (More on that one day perhaps)….
Anyway, if your into crazy crate digging stories like Mr. HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD, than you will enjoy this BBC special by The Vinyl Hoover called “Beat Mining”…….He interviews 45 King, Steinski, Malcolm Mclaren ( January 22, 1946-April 8, 2010…RIP), Aaron Fuchs of Tuff City records, etc…..
Enough of the wordplay, you know the drill…..
" New Shit On Deck "
Raekwon the Chef cliques up with Bronze Nazareth for this cut entitled, “Thirsty Fish”…….Be on the lookout for Bronze’s new album “Children Of A Lesser God” dropping 10/26/10…..
Enjoy..
" Sir Jinx Speaks "
There was a period where it seemed as if Ice Cube’s “Lynch Mob” crew were poised to take shit completely over…..Kam, WC & Madd Circle, Jay-Dee, Shorty, Yo-Yo, & Sir Jinx’s production style were very influential…..
In my opinion one of Jinx’s brightest moments, was when he contributed production for G.Rap’s “Live & Let Die” album…….His sound was a mixture of Bomb Squad-esque layering, live instrumentation, and funky, well placed creative sampling techniques…
Go back and listen to that album again….You won’t be disappointed,it has managed to age very well…..
Hip Hop Dx recently caught up with Jinx to discuss: G.Rap, L.A. Riots, Tupac, and his current alias Tony Villa….HAHA..
Interesting read…
And just to keep you on your toes…..Here are a couple cuts by Jinx’s first crew “C.I.A.” which included K-Dee & Ice Cube……
1987 Killa Cali hardcore shit.

A1. My Posse (5:31)

" Tokyo Chaos "
Earlier this year Pete Rock & Preemo linked up in Japan for a night of all-out party rocking…….On this live recording you will hear them both going head to head on four turntables…..
Damn……..You don’t have to worry about static, unwanted noise and all that bullshit….This recording came out very clear…So clear that you feel as if your right in the middle of the crowd ….
You know the drill…..Grab an ice cold beverage, crack the window a bit, strap on your helmet, and prepare for heavy turbulence……

Enjoy..
" Style Warz, Part One Edition "
I just got done checking out this book by NYC legend, “Part One”……….WHEW……Your talking about a guy that got his start in the mid 70’s, and still remains active to this day…
His crew TDS (The Death Squad) is full of top notch heavy hitters……Kool 131, Case 2, Skeme, Repel, Bear 167, Noc 167, Dez (Kay Slay- who is better with a spray can than a turntable in my opinion), Zephyr, Chain 3, Dondi, Delta, all repped TDS at some point in their careers……
For someone that has put in so much work, you would figure more people would be familiar with his pieces…….Here is your chance to get familiar……
Hip Hop Battlefield gives this book the stamp of approval JACK !!!!!
" Kings From Queens-Twin Gambino & G.O.D. Pt.3 "
It looks like Stu Bangas & Vanderslice are on a mission to wreck this year….This brand new flamethrower, “Kings From Queens” strikes another win for the duo….
Turn the volume to ten, put on your best screwface, and prepare for some QB pressure…
I’m digging this one….
" Joint Of The Day, M.B.P. Re-Post "
Today’s joint of the day comes courtesy of one of South Bronx’s illest- Money Boss Player, “Minnesota”…..On this scorcher “Modus Operandi” he plays no games and shows you motherfuckers what hardcore Hip Hop is all about….
Minnesota is a triple threat when it comes to getting busy…..Makes his own beats, flips nasty rhymes, and engineer’s his own shit.
WOW…..
I posted this up over a year ago, but it’s only right that I give this one more action…..
Tune in troop….
And if your still on a quest to hear more drama, swoop up this podcast from the Heavy Listening crew that features all Money Boss Player material…..BLAM,BLAM……..You better not sleep..
" New Shit On Deck "
