A Plus, Count Bass D, and J-Zone are the special guest on a recent broadcast of Conspiracy Radio…..
“J-Zone is back! We talk all about his new album ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’, the reasons why he felt it was necessary to return to music, the cameo roles from Prince Paul and RA The Rugged Man plus J-Zone’s perspective on growing up, staying relevant and dealing with online social media. Who run it”?
When it comes to top ranking TOASTERS in the world of reggae, the name DENNIS ALCAPONE has to come up in the conversation…
He started with the “El Paso” sound system in 1969 and went on to record numerous albums throughout the years..
Forever Version (1971, Studio One)
Guns Don’t Argue (1971, Attack/Trojan)
Soul To Soul DJ’s Choice with Lizzy (1973, Treasure Isle/Trojan)
King Of The Track (1974, Magnet) aka Musical Liquidator
Belch It Off (1974, Attack)
Dread Capone (1976, Third World) Rock (1977, Third World) aka Peace and Love
Six Million Dollar Man (1977, Third World) aka Universal Rockers
My Voice Is Insured For Half A Million Dollars (1989, Trojan) (compilation)
Babariba Skank with Lizzy (compilation) aka Wake Up Jamaica
21st Century Version (1997, Ariwa)
He also recorded the mysterious MASH UP THE DANCE album in the 70’s that most people are unaware of…DONT SLEEP..
My cuzzo KD (Daily Diggers) put me up on the the Crate Raiderz video series earlier this year….Since then I have taken the time to watch every single episode (1-11, hopefully they continue it’s been awhile since they uploaded a new joint),..
Somehow these cats have been given access to some true vinyl heavyweights personal collections..On episode #3 they link up with STREET ORCHESTRA who has dropped some impressive beats over the years as one half of the deadly duo known as SPARROW….
CHECK IN…
Peep this 5 minute clip of Mr. MARLEY MARL on the decks at the recent Kool Herc 40th anniversary of Hip Hop culture celebration out in Central Park N.Y.C.
The weather is so tropical here in Vietnam, California that it’s only right that I pull out this Dooley-O “Beat Segment 2” mix….

My brother ZULU GOBLIN gets the champion belt for flick of the day on Hip Hop Battlefield….
VENDETTA VINYL T-Shirt – check, a brand new pair of CAZALS – check, fresh out the box Shell Toes – check, and to top it off my man splashed the set with the hardrock B-Boy raccoon head gear – checkmate motherfucker !!
You can still cop a VENDETTA VINYL T-shirt if your seeking out some 2013 Hip Hop morale…..
The joint of the day goes out to ZIGG ZAGG ft. SHAQUAN, on the very flavorful “Y=SELF” cut from the “Touch The Sun” EP PT.2 (1992-1994) that dropped awhile back on Chopped Herring Records……
If the name ZIGG ZAGG sounds unfamiliar, he also goes by the name SUN MAGNETIC and he was one half of the duo DYNASTY that dropped a few ill 12inches on Fat Beats in the late 90’s (Poisonous Youth, Wildcat, etc)…
Produced by MIGHTY MAESTRO….
If your a drum addict like Mr. HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD you probably have this Sheffield library record in your stacks (John Keltner – Ron Tutt 1983)….
You won’t hear any vocals, it’s a strictly percussion release that blew my mind when I first copped it because there were so many lines to build from..
Do yourself a favor and swoop this one up if your on the hunt for more drums in your life..
Even though MELO-D’s “Aqua Boogie” rocks some familiar tunes, the way he trick mixes and flips the tracks will make you appreciate the backyard BBQ, street jam, freak mode frequency….
Summer is not over yet homeboy…
This is the second time I have rocked a KANKICK post within two weeks…He recently dropped a free remix project that should catch your attention.
KANKICK remixes # 2 runs 16 cuts deep….
CHECK IN.
* above pic, me & the posse block rocking…..
Just like I promised, here are a few photos from the AEROSOUL event in Oakland, California a week ago…
Big shout out to REFA, KHUFU, PRIZE, PLANET, SHA, SKEME, GFC, GOBLIN, GROUNDZ, SHIRT KING PHADE, SOLESPACE, that wild kid from Miami, and everyone else that showed up for a monumental evening on the block….
The legend himself, SKEME going for his…..A true humble warrior that is still a dedicated Hip Hop student…Thanks for the Hip Hop morale sessions brotherman it is appreciated…..SALUTE.
WEB 1 shooting the gift…..Nasty..
RESEK getting colorful on the avenue..Couldn’t believe how fast he rocked his outline without breaking a sweat….Dude picked us up in the high-powered, drop top scraper and terrorized the strip with some Indy 500 action…HAHAHA..
SAK showing and proving……Fresh is the word !!!
My brethren KUFUE ONERZ showing dudes how to rock correctly (he is also the man responsible for the GOOD MORNING VIETNAM cover)…….Words can’t explain how wild this piece is…
SHAME 125 keeping it live …….
My cuzzo REFA ONERZ explosive status……Analyze the skills homeboy..
Another SKEME exclusive on deck…….GOD DAMN…
I could post up flicks all night from the event, but I think you get the point by now; Hip Hop is alive and well in 2013 troopers….

Since the day my three year old son gravitated to my turntables, I have been seriously contemplating getting him his own pair to catch wreck on…
Some cats might think I need to cop him some Fisher Price joints to start on, but Technics are practically unbreakable so these lovely SL-700’s might be the right move for little dude..
The first person that locates them for me will get a special HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD grab bag of all types of fly shit !!!
DJ Tony Toca gives us a glimpse into his vinyl collection on Fuse’s superb CRATE DIGGERS series….
