” Attack Of The Killer Demos : 14 “
The overwhelming majority of the time I analyze a project from front to back before letting it fly on the BATTLEFIELD…But I will make an exception to the rule today…
I just got my paws on this ultra rare JACK THE RAPPER- PHAT TAPE 93 joint that is stacked with all types of demo action…..
“This previously mysterious tape immediately went to the top of my wantlist after hearing clips – there were just too many banging tracks with that perfect 1993 sound. Based on the beats, I was also under the impression that everything here probably came out of NYC. When I was finally able to find a copy and read the liner notes to fill in the gaps, I thought it was interesting first off to discover that these tracks came from all over the east coast and midwest… but also to discover that there is actually a good amount of history behind this compilation! For example, this tape features some of the earliest work of Blahzay Blahzay (here as Hostile Takeover) and DJ Spinna & the Jigmastas, as well as production by Eddie Matos, A.J. Woodson of J.V.C. Force, and a few artists with known indie 12″s out (Double Dose, Poppa Doo, Da Enna Cirkle).
Due to its super elusive nature, it’s still going to seem like a straight demo tape to me, and it basically was… these were all demo submissions to Jack The Rapper. But if that ’93 sound alone in the clips doesn’t make you NEED this, now its additional historical value has been revealed too… keep your eyes out for this massive tape!”.

*Update – After a few listens I would have to give the championship belt to “L.E.S NIGGAS”…
” Hip Hop Treats On Deck “
If your a hardware dude like myself, I highly recommend heading over to MPC STUFF for repair, all types of info, and custom work…..Please do not snooze..
When you head over there make sure to tell them that Mr. Hip hop Battlefield sent you.
” 2015 Contemplation Music “
Awwww yes….
This is the perfect background music for strategizing in 2015….90% of the time I am getting my power from overaggressive, boulevard bully bars and beats, but every once in awhile I have to decompress with this type of zone…
“Have we got a treat for you this week. A while back resident Nik Weston secured this little mix from the diggers digest crew and after a little hold up, it’s now time to unleash it. Selected and mixed by Mr. Ash, who was also responsible for compiling a selection of French jazz styles for the recent Freedom Jazz France compilation released on the Parisian record label, Heavenly Sweetness earlier this year, here he digs further still to bring us another ten pieces of strictly Gallic goodness. With names like Jef Gilson, Christian Vander, Guy Lafitte, Cossi Anatz and Randy Weston’s African Rhythms amongst the artists named on the tracklist, you can get a feel for the sounds involved, this isn’t your standard fare. Deep, modal, spiritual and free jazz is the order of the day, and they all hold that certain bit of class that we’ve come to expect from our French cousins. We hope you enjoy the mix. Thanks for listening.”

” Kick Rocking “
When people get caught up in all this “retro back to the future shit”, LE COQ SPORTIF is often left out of the conversation for some reason (They are currently celebrating their 50 year track suit anniversary, but they also have a mean kick game)..
These LE COQ SPORTIF JOAKIM NOAH Pro Model 2.0’s might raise your eyebrows, if your on the hunt for some original kick morale….
“Features a gradient upper that goes from a darker shade of green on the heel to a lighter green on the toe. White accents play a heavy roll in adding contrast on the midsole, laces and branding, while other details, such as Noah’s autograph on the heel, add a nice touch.”
” Blog Shots “
Every once in awhile I will point you in the direction of other blogs that are holding the goods…MARSELLUS WALLACE CRATE FAVORITES is a spot that will keep you occupied for a minute…
