While talking on the phone with AKBAR yesterday he mentioned that there is a video for “Good Food”…..If you never heard this joint before, do the right thing and check in because this brother is still very sharp with his pen game…
Also, make sure you take heed to the words that he speaks about in this song, you might add a few years to your life homeboy…
Go cop his newest album “Planet X” on Peasant Podium Music….
DITC affiliate “E-Blaze” rocked a interview with the good people over at LOST TAPES that should hold your attention….
“Some people might still not know about E-Blaze, but that is rapidly changing. After immigrating to the US from his native France around 2004, he quickly became one of the illest, yet most underrated, underground producers lacing 12”:s for Screwball’s KL, and Blaq Poet, which was soon followed by dope beats for Smiley The Ghetto Child, Raze/Killah Priest, Big Noyd, and Infamous Mobb. His real breakthrough for many, however, came when he officially linked up with the legendary D.I.T.C. crew, being heavily involed in albums like Show & A’s “Live Hard”, “Oasis” by OC & AG, the “The Movement” compilation from D.I.T.C. Records, and so forth”.
Also, here is the download for a project “E” put together a few years back (For The Love Of It)…
Kurious Jorge is back on the set with visuals for “Shorties Watching”….This sounds like some Summertime, drop top, body rock type of music…
Straight off the “Luv NY” project…Production by Ray West.
And while your at it I suggest that you give this in-depth interview with KURIOUS by Same Old Shawn a thorough listen trooper..
“This week, we talk to Jorge Alvarez, better known as Kurious. The New York-based emcee released his classic debut album A Constipated Monkey in 1994, following several years of singles and guest appearances with the likes of 3rd Bass and Del the Funkee Homosapien. Since that album, he continued to appear on record with friends like MF Doom and MF Grimm, but it was almost 15 years until he released a follow-up album, II, which showcased a newfound maturity and artistry.
We talked to Kurious about his career ups and downs, from touring with Nas and the Fugees to being stuck in a bad production deal for years at a time, etc”….
Here is the download for DJ Rhettmatic’s recent set at the “DO-OVER”…..To be honest I haven’t had a chance to fully analyze it yet, but once I do, I will make sure to give you my opinion….
DJ KAOS (Artifacts) recently unearthed some “pre-record deal” Redman material…..To my ears it sounds like it was recorded in 91 or 92..
This is so rare, that from what I understand Redman doesn’t even have a copy of this….Big up to DIRTY WATERS for the heads up..
French DJ, “The Worst” adds another joint to his tribute series with this strictly AL TARIQ collection…
I wish he would of included a couple cuts from the heavily slept on BIG CITY project…

*This interview is a few years old, but it is still recommended viewing.
Kevin Beacham (5th Element) caught up with Ultra Mag’s funk igniter, “TR Love” for a round of goodness….
“TR & Moe Love discuss what was happening after Critical Beatdown, The meaning of the name The Four Horsemen, Meeting Godfather Don, The start of the Ultramagnetic Basement Tapes, Working with Raw Breed, and of course, the new abum, Ultra Laboratory Stories which features unreleased music from Kool Kieth, Ced Gee, & Tim Dog”.
This interview with EGYPTIAN LOVER is truly hilarious (in a good way)…
Somehow Noz was able to get him to open up about his history, pedigree, outlook, accomplishments, love for the TR-808, and future plans with no restraint whatsoever…
Do yourself a favor and absorb some electro funk jewels….
