I’m going to take you all the way to Seattle, Washington for a collection of strictly 206 shit…I don’t co-sign every song, but it’s still nice to hear an abundance of material from a region that gets heavily slept on….
Peep what EARDOCTOR UMZ had to say regarding this session..
“This ones called THE CRATE NW vol.2 and features all vinyl (duh?!) but more specifically, ALL NORTHWEST vinyl! Think Tribal Music, 14 Fathoms Deep, Conception Records, Pacific Northwest jazz, soul, funk, disco 45s, a lil’ grey-haired boogie breaks, and Supersonics commentary. Threw in a bonus mental picture for ya too, that was crafted using drums from NW bands of the past, and a sample lifted from a record that was blasted atop the “Needle” during the 1962 Worlds Fair”…
Mr. Thing (BBE / Extended Players) hits us off with a nice set of groove morale on this DIGGERS DOZEN mix….
Turn the volume up and prepare for take off….
“NO DELAYING” finally gets video treatment (initially dropped on their self titled debut from 1989 – video wasn’t made until 2011)…
Proof that quality music has no expiration date duke !!!!
Do yourself a favor and scoop up the “THRESHOLD RECS” podcast #2 with that wild and crazy guy Kutmaster Kurt rocking the decks…..Strictly KOOL KEITH & MOTION MAN tunes that are bound to have you bursting with uncontrollable laughter fits…
Threshold has plenty of vinyl releases to offer as well so don’t snooze troopers…

It appears as if “DOE OR DIE 2” is finally going to see the light of day……The Visualiza connects with Static Selektah for the first leak of his upcoming release…
Amanda Ghassaei is the person behind a laser cutting machine that utilizes wood, paper, and acrylics to store grooves instead of vinyl…..I’m not completely sold on this, but I must admit that her discovery is very creative…
Enough of the rambling – peep for yourself cousin…

If your a dedicated HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD reader, than you already know how much I have been bigging up Philly Lo-Life mic wreckers, the BUZE BRUVAZ….
Him-Lo & Clever One finally get the vinyl treatment with the release of ” Cheesesteaks & Beat Breaks ” on Chopped Herring Records….I’m excited about this because you would be hard-pressed to find their material in any form whatsoever….
For the price of 15 bucks it’s a no brainer – so head over to CHOPPED HERRING with a quickness before these limited edition joints sell out (only 350 copies)…
Take a listen to this live session with Mr.Soul Brother # 1 with STRAIGHT GOODS….
Turn the motherfucking volume up and catch a groove homeboy..
Yesterday I gave this KILLIN FIELD “Criminal Street Slang” album a listen and I was surprised at how raw it is…
I am even more surprised that this slipped passed my radar back in 1999 when it initially dropped…These cats from Roxbury, Mass wear their influences on their sleeves, but “CRIMINAL STREET SLANG” still deserves some quality burn time…….

Since the start of 2013 I have noticed that a massive amount of top notch blogs rarely update anymore, or have flat out called it quits…..
Here are a few reasons why…
1…Cats cruise through spots and rape someone’s whole content and repost the same shit on their blogs without giving credit…
2…Even if someone digs your blog and downloads all types of music, it’s doubtful that they will take the time to leave a comment (I can’t front, I’m guilty of this as well)..
3..When I first started HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD there were blogs out there, but nowhere near the amount that we have in 2013….Now everyone and their mama has one which makes it difficult to sift through all the fluff to find the gems…
I can go on and on, but I think you get the picture…
Unfortunately my homeboy from DAILY DIGGERS has fallen back from updating his spot….I truly hope he doesn’t throw in the towel because he is a thorough cat that added some jewelry to cyberspace…For instance, this CRATE RAIDERZ digging doc that he posted awhile back is highly recommended viewing…..
Rob Pursey recently rocked an all 45 King produced session for those cats over at SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY…
CHECK IN..
“DJ Mark The 45 King was perhaps (with the exception of Marley Marl) the first producer I remember just wanting to own all the records that he’d produced, remixed or had a hand in. The simple, hard hitting loops of some of his early classics coupled with the fact that all the MCs he worked with – Lakim Shabazz, Chill Rob G, Latee, Markey Fresh, Latifah etc. – all had the kind of flawless, commanding flows that just demanded you listen, mean that to this day it’s hard to compare his music to anyone’s and as a resul just have a ’45 King zone’ in my brain. Seeing him get his huge paydays later in his career with ‘Hard Knock Life’ and ‘Stan’ was perhaps, to me, one of the most rewarding stories in rap history, but this mix is definitely about that late 80s/early 90s zone that he just dominated for me. However, loving pretty much every damn record he produced, this had to be a Part 1 of sorts, as I could never have included all the gems that he committed to wax. Hell I even missed out my personal favourite ‘Court Is Now In Session’ just so I’d have to do another! Anyway, enjoy some of the most unheralded, but dopest rappers in history (along with a couple of well-known legends of course) over that classic Mark The 45 King sound. More dusty than digital – enjoy”.
Straight from France comes the Opus Dopus radio podcast….Even though I don’t co-sign everything they rock, I always hear something that makes my ears perk up…
When you head over there make sure to tell them the grimy dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack !!!
