Back when I had a radio show in Sacramento, California in the early 2000’s (ROUGHNECK RADIO), I was lucky enough to have INSIGHT on the show….He is a triple threat when it comes to this Hip Hop shit : rhymes, produces, and mixes his own joints…
Haven’t heard much from him after the Y-Society release a few years back, so I was excited when he recently uploaded some new material on his soundcloud page (he hasn’t lost a step)….

It’s been awhile since I hit you with some under the radar demo action, so without further delay here is treat for all those that come through on the daily (I SEE YOU)…
After Cormega came home from a bid upstate in 1995, he hit the lab with Nas & Sly Drama for this “40th Side Of Things” demo that you probably have never heard before…
Even though the original version of “Isn’t He Something” is decent enough to bang, the remix by SHOWBIZ is straight up ridiculous….
WOW…
He starts off with a nice 4 bar loop, but as the song progresses he gets busy with the sequences and keeps hitting you over the head with all types of twist and turns, different drum breaks, and funky arrangements….
This is the type of production that convinced me that SHOWBIZ was / is a force to be reckoned with….
*Taken from my vinyl copy of the Slice Of Spice Lord Finesse “FUNKYMAN : THE PREQUEL” release…
Oxnard, California beatsmith KANKICK has been composing his brand of lo-fi, hazed out productions for quite sometime now…
Check in on this session of instrumentals that should make your ears perk up..
“Kan Kick grew up in the city of Oxnard, along with several fellow hip-hop musicians including Madlib, Oh No, DJ Romes and Dudley Perkins. In the early 90’s he was an integral part of Lootpack, appearing on several of their tracks. He has also produced some of The Alkaholiks’ early tracks. Later he went on to produce a number of solo instrumental albums, as well as collaborate with several rappers and producers such as Planet Asia, Declaime and DJ Babu. His 2001 release, From Artz Unknown was his first official solo introduction and featured West Coast rappers such as Declaime, The Visionaries, Krondon, Phil Da Agony, Planet Asia and Wildchild”..
My dude young PRIZE (GFC / NS / SK) has been on his motherfucking grizzly as of late….Everytime I check for him he is getting iller with his hands..
Salute to you brethren for keeping it on the rise….
AAWWWWWW MAN….
Just got back from a wild weekend….
I wrecked the decks at the AEROSOUL event in Oakland alongside Sha 1 & Planet Rocks (I will post up pics later tonight), had the opportunity to build heavy with SKEME & Shirt King PHADE, witnessed an ill graff session on the avenue, went to Reggae On The River with my famz and caught a wild dose of sun rays, and now here I am….WHEW…
While I was out on the field lil homie informed me that Jeru The Damaja got stabbed up a couple days ago (luckily he is alright), after doing some research I stumbled onto a new Jeru joint called “Solar Flares” that was produced by Large Pro……Be on the lookout for his upcoming album in the near future…
And while your at it, make sure to take a listen to this interview with JERU on Scope Radio (I don’t co-sign everything on their playlist, but it’s worth checking out to hear Jeru unveil a new track, discuss his future plans, etc)….
Chicago cut monster TOAD STYLE is far from a slouch when it comes to flexing his scratch vocabulary….He is also nice when it comes to crafting flavorful production…
Take a listen to this AZ remix and find out for yourself troop….Big up to all my peoples out in CHIRAQ.
95 % of the time I listen to a project thoroughly before posting it up, but I’m going to let this brand new Pete Rock & Camp Lo joint rock without giving it a proper scanning….
I’m going to keep my fingers crossed (why and the hell is their a Mac Miller feature on this?)…

Rock from front to back for maximum effect…
“Native Hawaiians cherished salt for its most important use, preservation. That’s exactly what Fitted x Aloha Got Soul are doing with the Hawaiian Salt mixtape: preserving the funky, flavorful music of Hawaii’s past. Enjoy 76 minutes of rare groove, soul, jazz and funk created in the islands back when R&B reigned supreme in Hawaii”.
You know it’s going to be a good day when you can watch 50 minutes of ULTRA MAG wrecking shop…
This performance went down in London recently to celebrate the anniversary of the classic Critical Beatdown album……Do yourself a favor and snatch up that popcorn, tilt your recliner back a little bit, and prepare for take off…
