CHECK IN….
When I ask die hard Kool Keith fans about the mysterious “PERSONAL ALBUM”, many of them have no clue of what I’m talking about…A thousand hand-signed CD copies were pressed up in 2004 to sell at various concert dates in 2004…
Yesterday I spotted a copy on Discogs for three hundred dollars (CRAZY)…Instead of breaking your piggy bank to cop, you can just swoop up one of “KK’s” most hilarious albums here on the low (yeah, some of these beats are horrible, but I stopped listening for beats on KK’s projects since the MASTERS OF ILLUSION album, but there are some funny bars to make you crack up) …..HAHAHA..

It’s a crying shame that cornball groups like NO DOUBT & THE MIGHTY BOSSTONES recieved all types of accolades, while pioneers like Desmond Dekker remain shrouded in obscurity…
So I’m going to hit ya’ll with some official RUDEBOY 101 type shit…
TRIGGAFINGA INTL “Confession Volume 1 ” runs the gamut when it comes to explosive ska grooves…..Do yourself a favor and put your trigger fingers in the air and scoop this one up trooper…
Dj Premier & Pete Rock will be hitting San Francisco on the 7th of September for a night of Hip Hop morale in the bay…..The crew and I will be in attendance getting rowdy like a motherfucker…
If your in the vicinity, you already the drill….
* On another note, when are we going to get that album fellas…HAHA..
Straight from Australia comes this mix from that dude DEBONAIR P….You have probably heard how fresh he is on the production side of things, now you can peep his blend game….
Over two hours of head nodders…..
“First up, thanks everyone who picked up the Global Platoon ‘G8 Summit’ EP, all the feedback I’ve received on this release has been great! It’s been a while since I posted up a megamix… as a challenge to myself, I tried my hand at making a mix using only tracks from 2000 onward (well, there are a couple of joints from ’99.) A lot of the tracks on this megamix are personal faves from the past years, often overlooked, so hopefully you hear something new on this one”.

*Piece rocked by my cuzzo CULPA PFE….
If your in the Colorado area this weekend, the annual Colorado Crush Graff block party is popping off….
To be honest, I catch most of my records the old fashioned way : at motherfucking record stores…
Digital digging just isn’t fun for me….I would rather be in a spot at the listening booth, chopping it up with the store owners, flipping through the stacks, and channelling the Hip Hop spirits as I go through my mental rolodex to find what I’m looking for..
HAHA….
Out of my whole collection, only five records were bought through the aid of the internet….I don’t diss cats that cop digitally, but for me, “DIGGIN IN THE CRATES” is a way of life….
Every year I travel up to Vancouver, Canada to dig at my main man Dave Jones record store, “VINYL RECORDS”…..Please don’t be fooled by the non-descriptive name because when it comes to fresh vinyl, he is HOLDING…..
It’s crazy how much of an impact ROC MARCIANO has been able to pull off in the last couple years, but don’t get it twisted, this Long Island rhyme slinger is far from a new jack….
When he was rocking with the UN he was just as dangerous…
My only worry is that with all the features he has done recently – I’m curious to see if he has enough gas in his tank for his upcoming album “Reloaded” in November…..Only time will tell..
Until then, scoop up this batch of Roc Marcy joints to keep your ear drums ringing (Don Status)…
* On a side note – when are we going to hear Roc destroying P. Brothers production again ?
