If you want me to check your demos, beats, rhymes, flicks, or hate mail, you can send it to ZJUDAH @YAHOO.COM….

No politicks, or any of that other new age bullshit – if I like it you will get some well deserved burn on the battlefield folks and that’s a promise….

Anyway, since it’s Monday night and I’m in a groovy mood I might as well hit you with some certified firepower….Chicago Gangsters “Michigan Avenue”…

BLAM, BLAMZ…

Cuban Linx 2, War Report 2, and now Doe Or Die 2 ya’ll….

Some dudes dismiss sequels on general principle, but I’m not complaining one bit, especially when A.Z. manhandles a Buckwild production like this with the greatest of ease…

“My Niggas” is the first official leak from Doe Or Die 2…..DONT SLEEP.

Rebel INS AKA Inspector Deck steps away from the mic for a second and rocks his sampler on his latest beat excursion, “Are You Listening 2″….There were a couple joints on this that caught me by surprise..

HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS-

“AAAAH”, “Hold On”, “Lamont Sanford”, “R U Serious”, and “Wrong Guy”…

DOWNLOAD…

Former Rubberoom member Lumba Blackwood is back in the lab churning out new material…Out of the three most recent cuts that he dropped, the Grant Parks produced “Madness” is my personal top pick…

Glad to see that this Chicago ruckus bringer is still keeping those flames burning..Be on the lookout for his upcoming LP “Bangs Basics” on Coalmine Records sometime this spring..

DOWNLOAD….

Godfather Don & Sir Menelik let loose all types of chaos on this promo joint entitled, “Murder The World”…..

Damn, this makes me want to hear some NEW material from the dangerous duo…..

Turn the volume up full blast homeboy.

In my opinion KA’s “Grief Pedigree” is one of the best releases in 2012 thus far…..

It has been on constant rotation ever since I got my hands on it awhile back….Crazy rhyme schemes, moody atmospheric production, and a healthy dose of Brooklyn grittiness make this project stand out apart from the rest…

Passion of the Weiss recently caught up with the former Natural Elements member for a in-depth interview that you should peep..

“There is a noticeable growth and progress in your music, from Natural Elements to Nightbreed to Iron Works to now. Do you think it was a matter of aging and learning and experience?

It was aging. It was aging and going through a lot of shit I was going through. Decade difference… that’s real. You grow, become different person in a 5 or 10 year span. I definitely did. That helped me mature vocally, timing wise, my cadence, my voice, knowing what I wanted to say. It takes time for an artist to know what kind of artists he wants to become. And I learned that, I know what I want to be.

My flow, delivery, I feel like it’s a quiet rage now. Everything I’m saying is very passionate, I really feel it. Some of the songs I can’t even perform without getting emotional. It’s hard, some of these songs… just saying it… (Ka pauses, affected for a very brief moment) It’s not just lyrics. When I talk about one of my friends that got murdered I see him and I’m sad he’s not with me right now. ‘Spoken memorial to all my losses’ – when I say that shit it’s real. Saying it right now I’m getting all emotional. I flash and see all my friends that I wish I could share the album with.

So yeah I noticed the style change. The years helped me out. And life experiences made me the artist that I feel like I am today”.

TUNE IN…

And while your at it – the “Grief Pedigree” vinyl is now available…

DO THE RIGHT THING….

My girl is from the lovely city of Chicago so we usually end up flying out there at least once a year…..I have a couple Hip Hop comrades there as well, and every time I touch down my dudes will school me on rare Chicago Hip Hop, past and present….

The last time I was out there my dude Mattrock pointed me in the direction of a windy city slept-on gem…Fully – G “There She Goes Again” produced by Diamond Kut released on a white label in 1995…

Only 50 copies were initially pressed up so I’m not surprised that many people outside of the Chicago area have never heard of it…..”FG'” finesses the track with the greatest of ease with bars dissing money hungry members of the opposite sex….And the production rocks a sample that “Buckwild” went on to use for the “Celph Titled” show…….

It’s a damn shame this joint didn’t get the attention that it deserved…..Witty lines, breezy soulful loops, and a well placed “Passin Me By” scratch sentence = WIN……….

The good folks over at Black Pegasus recently re-issued this piece of Chicago Hip Hop history for all of you that appreciate vinyl like myself…

If Hiero representative Phesto Dee plans on pressing up wax for his newest offering, “Granite Pedigree” – this is the song that I would use for a single…

Phesto actually gets very busy on this cut…DON’T SLEEP.

“Emblem” ..

* First KA came with “Grief Pedigree”, now we have “Granite Pedigree”…..2012 is going to be the year of the pedigree peoples..HA.

How could you really go wrong rocking a mixtape with all -Ultra Magnetic M.C.’s joints ?

DJ Grasshopper gives the Bronx Bombers shine on this “Ultra Boys- The Magnetic Tape”…..If your a hardcore Ultra fan like myself, you will download this on general principle…

VIA-TD.

Even though I fully I understand why some of my peoples are frustrated with certain aspects of today’s Hip Hop landscape, you will never see me waving the ” everything sucks after 1996 ” flag….

WHY ?

It’s because I hear fly shit on a constant basis….Sure you might have to filter out a gang of shit before you get to the jewels, but if your a dedicated Hip Hop student you will eventually stumble upon new material that will hold your attention…

These cats P.I.R. had a couple raw blazers on their debut release, “The Rap Sheet”…..

CHECK IN…

“No Happy Endings” produced by Ty McFly..

“Glorious” produced by Thug Poet…

Like I said a million times before- I usually scan a project thoroughly before giving it burn on the BATTLEFIELD….Quality over quantity is the Modus Operandi over here, unlike the majority of blogs I see out there these days…

Every once in awhile I will make an exception to the rule….Today I’m going to let a mix fly without even hearing it first, because I know for a fact that it will be flooded with jewelry based off the playlist alone…..

Alkuttraz (Crates Of AG) hits us off with part two of “New & Limited”…..

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m definitely feeling a couple of the kicks from La Coq Sportif’s new lines…..I rocked a few of their track suits back in the day – never got around to copping the kicks though…..

Remember when Fresh Prince used to rock “LCS” heavy in the mid to late 80’s ?

Anyway, take a look at what they have cooking up on their website…

PEEP…

The international crate digger extraordinaire DJ Muro comes correct with this dose of dangerous 45’s…I’m sure you already know how he gets down for his, so quit stalling and do the right thing famo…

This Red Bull beat champ has released quite a few bangers in a short period of time with a sound palette that consist of heavy drums, moody sound pieces, and well thought out chops…

This time around Mr. Frank Dukes mans the turntables for a interesting journey through sound with Passion Of The Weiss….
