KENNY DOPE is the man behind the very fresh imprint KAY DEE RECORDS….If your on the hunt for some secret society 45’s or you need a little more soul power in your life – do the right thing and check in JACK !!
When you head over there make sure to tell him that the grimy kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you..
It’s crazy that you can still find top notch records out there in the “FIELD” for cheap if you stay diligent..For instance I caught this LALO SCHIFRIN “Bullitt” soundtrack piece for a couple bucks on a casual stroll yesterday just minding my business (now I finally have doubles)…
HAHA..
Anyway if your a fan of OST’s than I highly suggest you scope out the SLEAZY LISTENING blog..It’s unfortunate that they haven’t updated in quite some time, but there are enough active links to keep you busy for awhile…
“DJ Eclipse and friends are celebrating The Halftime Show’s 15 year anniversary. Since 1998, WNYU’s 89.1FM has been a staple of New York City’s underground hip hop scene every Wednesday at 10:30pm. DJ Eclipse, DJ Riz, and Lynn Gonzalez created The Halftime Show to showcase new artists and play records that otherwise wouldn’t have an outlet. Check out this video with narration by DJ Eclipse, DJ Riz, and Stretch Armstrong detailing the radio show’s history”.
Please don’t forget that HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD can strike at any time….Day or night, weekday or weekend so keep your motherfucking eyes peeled on a constant basis troopers..
Anyway, this HOBO JUNCTION “The Black Label” release brings back some good memories for the “KID”….SAAFIR used to record at my man’s crib and I used to roll through there to chop it up with him to discuss Hip Hop, Hobo Junction, upcoming projects, MIKE DREAM, turf talk, and all types of wild shit..
I was always thought he was on some next shit with his patterns and it’s a shame that he doesn’t get the proper credit that he deserves…..
If your a HOBO JUNCTION fan like Mr. Hip Hop Battlefield you will scoop this one up with a quickness…*This is such a limited release that fools are currently selling it on DISCOGS for over 100 bucks…
VIA-TI4TH.

Beat Junkie president J-ROCC & M.E.D. recently joined forces for a new EP as AXEL F…Here is the newest leak, “Sofa Set”…
*M.E.D. sounds much better now that he abandon his quirky, too many words in a bar flow…
My brother MF GRIMM is involved with a animation film entitled “I’m Scared” with Greg Simkins…
Do the right thing and tune into their KICKSTARTER page for donations, content, artwork, and updates…
STREET ORCHESTRA & JAMAR make up the duo SPARROW who have put out fresh but extremely limited amounts of material over the years…
On the previously unreleased track “Complex”, JAMAR kicks introspective bars over dusty production….BLAM,BLAM.
Over the years AYATOLLAH has built up an extensive body of music….From his days of crafting beats for TRAGEDY KHADAFI, to eventually lacing GHOSTFACE KILLAH and plenty others with his brand of lo-fi, chop-heavy MPC work; he remains consistent without compromising his approach…
If you haven’t heard the QUIXOTIC REMIX project he dropped awhile back, here is your chance to check in troop..

If your growing tired of listening to sensitive busters on the mic, let me take you back to 1997 for a healthy dose of hardcore that will make you clench up your fist……
Salaam Remi had a short-lived record label called Norfside…..Out of all the groups he put out, “Major Stress” showed the most potential in my opinion……They released a couple singles, and eventually put out a poorly distributed album in 1997 called “Up Against The Wall”……
Good stuff…….Plenty death threats, boulevard bully rhymes, stick up kid narratives, and very raw production supplied by Mr. Remi……
Here are a couple highlights…..
“Snakes To Burn”……………Wow, if this doesn’t get your blood pumping something is fucking wrong with you…….HAHA….
“Tell Your Crew”………….Even with the off-kilter hook, this song still cooks……..

While some might say that this new generation of B-Boys lack straight up dancing skills, I’m still amazed by the combos, power moves, and air moves that they pull off with the greatest of ease….

EVIL DEE filled in for Preemo on the “Live from Headquarters” broadcast from 8/16/13….
TRACKLIST-
Back when I used to check for the MC formerly known as COMMON SENSE there was a line that he rocked that caught my attention..
On the album RESURRECTION there is a song called “Check The Method” with Y-NOT where he said, “I make money / money doesn’t make me”….
Yeah, I know it’s not the most technical bar, but it was thoughtful enough to convince me that he was clever with his pen game……Little did I know that a few years earlier a crew from Nottingham (home to the P-Brothers) TWICE THE TROUBLE flipped the same exact line on a joint called “SERIOUS”.
Is this a case of biting or great minds thinking alike ?
*CHECK THE 4TH VERSE ON “SERIOUS” FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS…RIP K.I.D.
Tomorrow the man, the myth, Mr. Breakbeat Lou will be the special guest DJ on the Crazy Legs “Lunch Break Show”….8/21/13.
