” Kid Jazz vs. Donald-D Repost “
* Originally posted 12/26/11
Even though the Rhyme Syndicate only put out one full length album (Rhyme Syndicate Coming Through) they made a tremendous impact…One of my personal favorites from the crew “Kid Jazz” is still putting out music under the new moniker, J-Swagg……When I first found out that he put “swag” in his name I almost lost my composure…..I started having flashbacks of when other childhood heroes of mine let me down in the new millennium with sub-par material full of uninspired rhymes, new age cornball beats, and all that other shit (You know the scenario)…
But when I heard the song “Eat E’m Up Swagg” that rocks a chorus similar to L.L. Cool J’s “Eat E’m Up L”, I had to shake my head in disbelief…….Not only does he swipe L.L’s hook, he takes a few swipes at the Syndicate sniper Donald-D…..
Regardless, what your about to hear is a piece of Hip Hop history…….Earlier this year “Kid Jazz” rocked a interview with a cat named Thief The High Priest……Do yourself a favor and skip the first couple of minutes….HAHA..
You would be hard-pressed to find anything about Kid Jazz or his old group Domination on the net, so consider yourself lucky trooper….
” Beat Tape Action “
It’s been a minute since I posted up a strictly beat tape type thing…I hear quite a few from aspiring producers, but truth be told, the majority of them quickly put me to sleep…..
Where’s the fire, where is the composition, where is the motherfucking programming, where is the drama, where is the scratching, where is the originality?
Recently I gave the JAZZ SPASTIKS “The Product” some decent burn in the system….Well thought out Jazz chops, booming drum programming, and a healthy dose of scratch sentences make it a enjoyable listening experience..
* It takes awhile for things to pick up, but they hit their stride on the second half of this release…
” Midweek Splash “
“Lord Digga, the microphone mutilator with the hardcore data to mash motherfuckers like potatoes / get a load of a punk who tried to diss me, you wanna know why cause I spit on spectators”…
The man behind those disgruntled words (LORD DIGGA) is one of the special guest on the latest episode of Classic Storm Radio with DJ Toshi…
” Money Boss Players : Patience “
” Try to hit the lotto homie , can’t even get a follow from me / thirsty ass bitches can’t even get a swallow from me “….
HAHA…
Here is the second set of visuals for the MONEY BOSS PLAYERS / TAKE MONEY mixtape that dropped awhile back…..This is some ol’e Summertime backyard boogaloo type shit that will give your morale levels a power boost…
PEEP…
” O.S.T. Steez “
You want that motherfucking drama ?
Alright then homeboy – the great Italian composer PIERO PICCIONI supplies us with nonstop pressure on the soundtrack from LUCKY LUCIANO….If you take one good look at the cover you should know what time it is..
” G. Rap Speaks “
David Ma recently conducted an interview with the legend KOOL.G.RAP for the latest Wax Poetics mag….
CHECK IN…
GZA was around a lot? What are your thoughts on him. His themes, especially on Liquid Swords, seem to be taken directly from your early work.
“He was called Genius at the time. He was our Cold Chillin label mate, even though he wasn’t part of Juice Crew. But we embraced him and his genius. It’s appreciated that GZA mentioned me as an idol if his. He is a solidified legend and planted his Wu-Tang flag. Wu was one of the best groups that ever did it, period. They’re like the Temptations of rap world– they’re just the best.
Earlier you mentioned Eric B as someone who greatly developed your career. Why wasn’t there any G Rap and Eric B projects?
He wasn’t really producing like that. He was more of a DJ, like Polo. Not to say he didn’t have anything to do with production. I mean, I picked a lot of those records on the first album that became full beats and songs, but I wasn’t credited as producing it, you know? In the same way, Eric B had a lot of influence on projects but he never officially ‘produced’. We were just really close fiends and I owe him a lot”.
” DJ-P : Built To Last Mix “
Once again the BUILT TO LAST CREW comes with some under the radar action.This time around DJ-P is behind the decks…
Please DO NOT SLEEP “P” keeps the flavors interesting by taking the time to actually mix (Not enough cats are doing that these days unfortunately), rock a few well times scratches, and making sure the selections pick up momentum….

” Reading Is Fundamental “

About Beneath the Streets:
Only a handful of transit workers, daring explorers, and graffiti writers have experienced the full scope of the New York subway system. Beneath The Streets reveals this world for the first time with fantastic photographs captured from throughout the tunnels and byways of the sub- way. Although it provides service to over 5 million riders every day, the subway is for most a sealed system. Very few of its patrons are aware of the extent of this vast underground infrastructure. The authors of this important historical work first discovered this underground world in the process of photographing graffiti. Their riveting work brings to light a subterranean maze that includes 600 miles of active tracks as well as abandoned sections and disused stations.» PRE-ORDER

” Bumrush The Show 2 “
Recently I was checking out my dude UNIK ONE’S spot and ran across mixes by BUMRUSH RADIO..With a name like BUMRUSH RADIO how can you go wrong, right?
So after a little investigating I stumbled onto a session by P-Trix (Not the cat from the west coast who used to slaughter dudes in the ITF battles) that made my ears perk up…This “Hip Hop Vault Mix” is loaded with nice blends, well thought out composition, etc….Over two hours of goodness on deck!!
” KA : 1200 B.C. “
Straight out of Brownsville, Brooklyn’s comes a new batch of material from KA….On his new EP (1200 B.C.) he flexes his dangerous monotone style to new heights..
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICK – “Years”…
“‘ Friday Check In “
I’m finally back after a week long extravaganza in the city of Los Angeles….The Beat Swap was interesting…
All kinds of cats popped up to rejoice in all things Hip Hop related…I had the opportunity to catch up with old friends, caught and sold some records…But out of all the things that I experienced – meeting DJ ALADDIN is at the top of the list….
I can’t even begin to go into detail about how influential he was to me (Not just the scratching but also production)….Cats throw the word LEGEND around too loosely these days, but ALADDIN is a straight up DJ legend without a fraction of a doubt….
SALUTE…
” Hip Hop Holiday Steez “
I will be alongside a portion of the VENDETTA VINYL posse in the city of Los Angeles this weekend for this years BEAT SWAP……We will be posted up pumping vinyl, cracking jokes, and creating mass mayhem on the avenue…
If your in the area slide through and give the kid a high five…..
Also, the B-Boy Summit is back on the set in LA and it’s free, so do the right thing and head out to Southern California for some Hip Hop holiday action troopers…
