Mark your calendars for the 40th ZULU NATION anniversary on November 6th in NYC…It looks like it’s going to be a true celebration this year with performances by special guest Ice-t, Ice Cube, Public Enemy, Ultra Magnetic MC’s, Akbar, Grand Wizard Theodore, Jazzy J, and plenty more…
Here is the teaser promo….RIP LUCKY STRIKE.
Even though PHIL MOST CHILL claims to not be a DJ, he has a better concept of flow and composition then a lot of DJ’s that I hear these days….Plus he comes equipped with plenty head nodders to perk your ears up (Most Of My Heroes Don’t Appear On No Stamp)….
“When my album “All Cuts Recorded Raw” (unreleased songs from the late 80’s) was put out on DWG Records in 2011, one of the questions I was asked was “wow, so why didn’t you ‘make it’ back then?” This mix is pretty much the answer. The emcees you hear on this mix are some of the greatest in Hip Hop history- KRS One, Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, LL Cool J, Run DMC. They were so incredible that I didn’t want to even release any of my songs unless I felt I could do as good or better than them. They showed me what a dope Hip Hop record is supposed to sound like. But my biggest inspirations were the pioneers of Hip Hop, represented on this mix by the Cold Crush Bros, and GM Flash & The Furious 5. Directly or indirectly, crews like them are the ULTIMATE inspiration and influence for every person that is a part of Hip Hop music. This mix features some of the rarest and / or most underappreciated joints by my Hip Hop heroes”.
That wild and crazy guy KUTMASTER KURT has a Bandcamp page that you should peep while floating around in cyberspace….Limited edition drum break records, collabs, 7inches, and this early 90’s beat tape that caught my immediate attention…
When you head over there tell him the grimey dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you…
*YEAH THAT’S SKEME IN THE PIC.
Damn, the battle between legendary graff crews TC5 & TMT is in full effect troopers…In my opinion this one is almost impossible to judge : two different classic styles that scream B-Boy foundation…
Head over HERE to cast your votes….

Yeah this is more like it…
I’m quite sure the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers are well versed on the story of Harlem hell raisers MOBSTYLE
AZ, Gangsta Lou, Whip Wop, and my personal favorite of the crew, PRETTY TONE CAPONE….
Tone released a few singles and a EP in the 90’s that were filled to the brim with reckless gun talk, revenge killings, and all types of boulevard barbarian shit…Somehow this heatrock “Cant Talk To Long On The Telephone” slipped passed my radar when it dropped on the Source “Mad Flava” comp in 1991…..
A few days ago DITC producer OGEE released a OC collabo he had stashed away in the vaults…If “52 Pickup” is a indication of what these two are capable of, I would definitely be interested in hearing a full length project…
“Unreleased song recorded with O.C.
One of 7 songs we did back with “Yes Sir”, and “The Inventor”
produced by O.Gee for Stress Mode Ent
G. Scott – Stress Mode Music ASCAP…
Look out for my “Crumbled Papers Unreleased Classics Collection…”
I already hit you with the snippets, now I’m going to give you one of my top picks from the recently released Touch The Sun 1 EP on Chopped Herring.
“Maintain Your Rep” rocks a well suited, but somewhat hilarious SOS Band vocal sample, detailed drum programming, and impressive lyrics by ZZ (Sun Magnetic)….
MAC DOUGH (Sergent Records) blessed the internet with a 4 hour mix a few weeks ago…I finally finished listening to it earlier this morning to see if it was fit for the BATTLEFIELD…
Even though some of the blends are a little forced, I definitely feel that it deserves some quality burn…

HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S top pick, “What Type Of Shit You Want” with the P-Brothers…
When it comes to “sample source” mixes in 2013, you have to bring something unique to the table in order for me to check in…
This session by Bles One (Massive Monkees) isn’t the most obscure collection, but he definitely keeps it interesting with well thought out composition, doubles, etc…..
Perfect for a Friday night game of “Name That Tune”…
Time to put away those Bermuda shorts and tank tops cuzzo, Hoodie season is already in full effect here in Vietnam, California…If it’s starting to get a little frosty wherever you reside, I highly suggest heading over to VOODOO FUNK’S online store to cop some flavorful gear to add to your arsenal….
Make sure to tell him that the grimey dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you..
If you live near the bay area, make sure you mark your calendars for the ESTRIA graff battle going down at Defremery Park in west Oakland next Saturday (10/12/13)…
I will be there to support my GFC / NS brethren KUFUE ONERZ who is entering the battle (I put all my chips down on him to house the whole shit)..
HAHA…
SAY WORD…
If your on the hunt for some B-Boy morale, make sure you peep this 28 minute clip of the IBE event that took place in the Netherlands earlier this year..
Catch a zone..
Glad to see HELL RAZAH still putting out material after dealing with life altering situations…..I recently gave his newest joint a thorough listen (Heaven Razah 2) which features guest verses from Jus Allah, Killa Priest, etc….
Here is HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S top pick..
