A big happy bornday shout out goes to the young comrade “Prize” (GFC,TNS,SK,NS,etc) from deep in East Oakland, Killa Cali…..My dude is extra nice with the hands and he is still a young gunner…
Keep it on the rise familia…
Peep these flicks to see how he gets down for his..
It’s Friday so you know what that means….
Bar fights, sloppy drunk weekend warriors, scheming stick up kids on the avenue, more police on the block, steam in the air, and all that other wild shit…
Tonight I will be destroying the turntables along with State, Planet Rocker, and Fooders for my man Kufue Onerz art show (Pics next week)…
Anyway, this mixtape “Acknowledge The Vet” has been in my rotation for two years straight…
WHY ?
Thorough rhymes, top notch beat selection, raw hunger, conviction, and that special dirty QB spice that Killa Sha dealt with….Salute and Rest In Peace to that brother…
There were talks of a Large Pro Killa Sha collabo project entitled the “Shepard”….Hopefully that album will see the light of day…

Hip Hop Battlefield has been up and running for almost five years at this point…
Interviews (King Shameek, Phil Most Chill, Paris, Selfish, my dude MF Grimm, etc), jokes, reviews, under the radar cuts, secret society breaks, our Battlefield Funk Radio Show (be on the lookout for another broadcast soon) and my own mixes, projects, and rugged remixes…
I don’t have any plans on stopping the bumrush – so stay tuned for more wreck…
Currently I am nestled up in the lab tinkering away at beats for an upcoming full length with a certified NYC hardcore Hip Hop legend (You will get that by the end of Summer I am predicting)…So it’s needless to say that I won’t be dropping any more remixes on the BATTLEFIELD until that project is wrapped up…
So I dug in the BATTLEFIELD files and found one of my remixes that you might have missed, Grand Daddy I.U. “Slinging Bass”….
” If a brother test I’m going to check the fool / I’m from the old school, I take my respect with a tool “.
HARDCORE HIP HOP WILL NEVER DIE !!!
One of these days I’m going to fly out to Brazil to see what’s really good…
Beautiful women, gorgeous weather, and the music that I have heard from that region over the years is straight up incredible…For instance, “Brazil Psycho – Tropica Delica 1” sounds like the soundtrack to mayhem…
So take a listen as Agape (Mojo Knights) lets off a barrage of explosive material…

I’m quite sure I posted 1-5 from FB’s “Used” sample source mixes, so it’s only right that I give number six a post as well…
All you Hip Hop junkies can play “Name That Tune” for over an hour if your in that type of mood..
HAHA..
Take a listen trooper..
AG, Showbiz, and O.C. took time out recently to chop it up heavy with H.H.A to discuss upcoming projects, why Showbiz decided to stop rhyming on tracks, the loss of Big-L, new DITC material, etc…
” HHA: I had talked through email to you manager Jason, and he said you all had gotten together for a beat listening session. Were you guys all in the room at once?
Show: Yeah, that was nice, that was nice.
O.C.: Yeah yeah, we had a lot of those since then.
HHA: Have you guys gone in the lab together and recorded the songs, or is it more you are doing it on your own time?
A.G.: The time we had came together, the times we have come together as one in the studio, we basically liked the beats together and picked beats to use for the project together. You know, as ideas come along we run then by each other, so it’s just a work in progress and we definitely knocking it out, but right now we got the O.C. and A.G. Oasis Part II, we got the Show and A Mugshot, and we’re going to throw another Mugshot album out before the Mugshot album comes out. So we in the studio a lot, and we’re recording a lot, and we’re doing everything at the same time: The Diggin’ shit, the Oasis shit, the Show and A.G. shit, the O.C. shit. So, like O said, we just working, and nothing has a particular title right now; it’s just work and we’ll figure it out where it goes as it goes along like Show said.
HHA: Are all the members in the unit right now, or is Fat Joe still not involved?
Show: Nah, Fat Joe’s not involved right now.
HHA: So it’s all the other members of the crew now?
Show: Yeah, everybody’s involved
HHA: Will we hear more of (Lord) Finesse on the D.I.T.C. stuff in terms of rapping? It’s been a while since we heard him.
Show: The question remains. Hold that to the question remains. Finesse is going to get back on the mic but it’s been a long time that he had an album out, so he’s going to get on when he’s ready to shake his ass; he’s going to get on and do what he do. Til then, we holding it down for him “.
The limited edition vinyl keeps dropping and I’m not complaining one bit…
This time around Sergent Records gives Kukoo The Bag of Bones the hundred and fifty press treatment…He was involved with one of Mista Sinista’s groups the “Cliffhangaz” (Curry Chicken Head still gets burn around these parts) and the “Insane Psycho Home” crew that dropped a solid EP in the early 2000’s..
This new project from Compton rhyme slinger Columbo Black (Scrap Mettle) has some serious heat on it..His rhymes are descriptive, multi dimensional, and original…
If your looking for some 2012 Hip Hop morale – you just found it..
“Way Of The Gun”
“Expressions” featuring D.Valentine.
“Cruise”
After a brief hiatus – Preemo is back on deck with Sirius Radio for his Live From Headquarters jump off..I don’t have the playlist for last weeks show, but I do have a download link so consider yourself lucky…HAHA..
Take a listen..
Some of you cats traded in your B-Boy gear for medium size “TAP OUT” shirts….We don’t get down like that over here on the BATTLEFIELD, we keep it grizzly 365/24-7…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Awwwwww man, take a look at this Super Rockin Mr. Magic Tee by the good folks over at Rec Room….I’m going to cop one of these joints on general principle…If your thinking along the same lines, scoop one of these bad boys up while you still can..
Rest in Power John “Mr.Magic” Rivas (March 15th, 1956 – October 2, 2009)
And while your at it – I highly suggest that you check this Mr.Magic podcast page that pays homage to his legacy..It is loaded to the brim with old “Rap Attack” broadcast…
“The American Way” finds the Rebel INS (Inspector Deck) hitting us with his best material in years….If this is any indication of what he has been cooking up lately – count me in JACK !!!!!…
Fresh off a three year prison bid for attempted murder, the don gorgon “Ninjaman” speaks his mind on this very thorough forty five minute interview…
The dancehall community has been hit hard lately with some of it’s biggest stars falling victim to incarceration (Busy Signal, Mavado, Vybz Kartel, Elephant Man, and Buju Banton to name a few)….
Salute to the DON for trooping through his stretch…
CHECK IN..
After “Ka” left Natural Elements he was in a group called NIGHTBREED with a cat named Kev…
Not to be confused with the other Nitebreed that rocked more of a horrorcore steez (“Meditations on Death” is my favorite cut from THAT crew, go track that one down if you know what’s best for you)…
Anyway, if you carefully listen to “Grief Pedigree” you can tell that Ka has put in a lot of work with his pen game…The NIGHTBREED material isn’t half bad, but you can definitely hear a Mobb Deep influence in their approach…
All cuts produced by Charlemagne..
“Long Time Coming”
“Two Roads Out the Ghetto”
WHEW !!!!
These official “Art Of Rap” tees by your boy Slick (Dissizit) are no fucking joke…
I’m not exactly sure when these are going to hit the market, so check Slick’s blog periodically to stay in the know..
