Huge Hefner / D-Squizzy / Big Dime / otherwise known as DIAMOND D is the special guest on Peter Rosenberg & Cipha Sounds radio show..
To be honest these two get on my last nerve, but to hear “D” speak his mind freely is definitely a Friday treat….
CHECK IN….
Sometimes I wonder if the CONMEN (Jake One & Supreme) will ever put out another breakbeat edition (last release was 2001)…
“Veteranos”, “Don’t Even Sample This”, “The Masters”,”Smooth Criminal Beat Breaks” and one of my personal favorites, “Jealous Toys Die” are all packed to the rim with heavy ammo….
When ZU’S “Dark Sense” album initially dropped in 2009 it slipped past my radar…I stumbled onto it a couple nights ago – with features from KILLA SHA (RIP), GODFATHER 3, SHYHEIM, ISLORD, I decided it would be best to give it some burn….

The production duo the SHOGUNZ just released the “Cosmic Tripping” project on BLUNTED ASTRONAUT RECORDS..These cats hail from the Netherlands and they come equipped with beats that are laced with booming drums, heavy layers, etc…..
Some of the rhymes are SUSPECT in my opinion, but it’s a decent listen regardless…
Here is HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S TOP PICKS…”Minor Trip”, “Bugged Out, “Ode To NY”….
“Bugged Out”
“Ode To New York”
It’s been awhile since I heard anything from the turntable wrecking ball, RICCI RUCKER…..The stuff he was doing a decade ago still outshines most of the scratch patterns I hear today…
Luckily I stumbled onto this project he rocked while on tour in Japan earlier this year…For some reason he doesn’t start scratching until the 20 minute mark, but when he does set it off – it’s straight up curtains…
Over an hour of wildness trooper…..
I’m not stingy when it comes to sharing other blogs that are holding the goods….
Matter of fact, the “HARD,RAW,DEEP,FUNK” blog is flooded with jewelry if your on a quest to find rare, out of print, funk mode goodies like the unreleased “Shorty The Pimp” O.S.T pictured above..
When you head over there tell them the grimy dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you jack!!!!
Since it’s Friday I know you are looking for a power boost to jump start your weekend fiesta….
Back in 2009 my man “PLANET ROCKA” from Funk What Ya Heard put together this mix for Wild Style Technicians….Doubles, blends, great selections, and well thought out compositions make this session a certified head nodder…
” In this mix I flip doubles, trick mix, BEAT MATCH, flip blends, and throw a couple of drops in from the peoples that support me… This mix was made a few months back but at the time ALL the tracks were very NEW and EXCLUSIVE.. Some of you might be up on these (I HOPE) and some of you might not be up on them…. But hopefully you just enjoy it for what it is, GOOD MUSIC…Respecto”

It’s been a minute since I splashed ya’ll with some milkcrate jewelry, so without further delay let’s get into this….
The mysterious Brooklyn crew “Candystore” put out a couple singles in the mid-late 90’s….”Escape From Belize” stills sounds just as rugged today, as it did when I first heard it…
If anyone out there has any info about “Menage”, “Lifty” & “Crimes” send it my way (you will be hard-pressed to find any info about the trio on the internet)….
“Escape From Belize” produced by Jerry Callender…Keep It Moving Records 1996…
DOWNLOAD….
Are you prepared for a healthy dose of secret society drum breaks, Japanese soul power, doubles, and all types of fly shit that will force you to hit the rewind button ?
DON’T SLEEP !!!!
This is what Babu had to say regarding his latest project, “Konnichiwa Bitches”….
“Several months ago my friends B+ and EC hit me up about doing a mixtape consisting of Japanese records. B, E and myself had all been on ridiculous digging missions together before and they had known that I had lost my mind in japan a couple times copping Japanese joints… so this idea made perfect sense… this mix contains a lot of tv and movie soundtracks and scores, studio background music, amine soundtracks, funk, pop, rock & soul with the common thread being dope funky music! I hope u enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed putting this together!
– Peace, BABU/DILATED/JUNKY”
Showbiz & AG’s “Mugshot Music” will finally see the light of day on October, 9th…I wonder if this release will get the vinyl treatment (keep your fingers crossed)…
“Walking On Air” featuring A-Bless is another brilliant leak that will help you get your mind right….
Turn the motherfucking volume up!
Sometimes it gets a little hectic on the BATTLEFIELD, so every once in awhile I will soak in the beautiful sounds from Brazil…Nah, I do not know Portuguese, but I do know flavorful grooves when I hear them…..HAHA…
DJ ELAN (SF) takes us on a wild journey through sound with “Viagem Pelo Universo Brasileiro”…..
