Now this is more like it….
One of the hardest working DJ’s on the planet continues his streak of explosive mixes…DJ Muro pulls out all the stops on the very flavorful “Electric Kingdom” joint…..I’m real particular when it comes to these types of sessions, but Muro keeps the momentum pumping with a barrage of top choice selections, well executed blends, and on-point composition…
Turn on your cruise control and let the beats rock !
Jeff Weiss caught up with Wu-Tang affiliate Oli “Power” Grant to chop it up about various topics….If your in the mood for a well thought out interview – you know the motherfucking drill cuzzo…
“In a way, did your lack of formal business education, pay any dividends because you didn’t get bogged down in arbitrary rules that you’d learned from a book?
It’s the gift and it’s the curse. There’s no schooling, so the value comes from learning life lessons. Every day you can learn lessons if you tune in, if you tune in for what’s bullshit and what’s not. Everyone doesn’t have a Wu Tang story, there’s lots of dudes from the streets who don’t make it. The reality is that you can be from the streets, but have your eye on the wrong dreams, and certain things never come to light, you don’t have the wherewithal. We was blessed, but at the same token, at the same time, we strived to make a way for ourselves”.
Sure you might have heard some of the songs on this mix by Revolution (Series 25), but the way he flips them will keep you on your toes….You will hear loads of doubles, cuts, and nonstop classic shit..
I highly recommend listening to this from front to back for maximum effect.
Salute to Rev for holding it down on the decks for 20 plus years and counting….
Awwwww man, you know shit is real when two of these heavyweights link up to splash up the set…..
Quit stalling and do the right thing…
“Two of the greatest crate-digging, coast-to-coasting, break flipping, scritchy-scratching crew of all time–Da Beatminerz and the X-Ecutioners–will be joining forces this Sunday February 12th (that’s 2/12/12 for the numerologists out there) for a live event at NYC’s Highline Ballroom featuring heaps of special guests (use your imagination). In order to commemorate this historic meeting of the mines, they have put together this unique mixtape cut together out of six short sets from DJ Precision, Total Eclipse, DJ Esquire, Boogie Blind, Evil Dee and Rob Swift”.
On this broadcast of “CSR” Toshi plays joints from Raekwon, Saigon, The Funk League, and they even bring in a special guest, Mr. C-Rayz Walz who freestyles for his entire interview…HA.
You already know the motherfuckin drill..
Are you motherfuckers prepared for some 2012 head nodders ?
All the way from Brazil comes this collection of grand grooves from DJ Uilson (Selecta Funk 2)…If your searching for a power boost on this frigid Tuesday evening, you just found it…

Substance over style homeboy…

CHECK IN.
Trinidad & Freddie Massif (Heavy Listening Crew) are no slouches when it comes to assembling a dope podcast…..I already posted the ones they did with Money Boss Players & The Freestyle Professors, now your going to get the soul power explosion duke..
DONT SLEEP…
“Over 1 hour of real soul music from all eras.
Modern,northern and crossover.
We featured the soon to be released Moments reissue from Wax Poetics along some classic rarities such as the Trinikas,East of Underground and Hot Chocolate.
Guest shout-outs from crate veterans Amir (from Kon & Amir),Wax Poetics editor Dante Carfagna,Bronx legend Danny the Beatman and more.”
L.O.N.S. Alumni “Dinco-D” is still blessing microphones in the new millennium…Last year he came out with the NY-CT Connect project with Elvee..All of the production duties were handled by DJ N.E.B……
Glad to hear that “D” is still maintaining and doing his thing….
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS….”Amongst Them”, “Text Love”, and “Last Days”..
“I’m tired of rappers with live instruments on the stage / save that shit for parades…And while your at it why don’t you dress like a clown / and draw yourself a permanent frown..
Rappers doing this should retire / niggas looking like Earth, Wind, and Fire”…
“Kiss My Black Ass”..MC Ren 1992.
I wouldn’t personally word it the way the former NWA rhyme slayer did, but I understand his sentiments whole heartedly……Too many dudes forget that Hip Hop was built on the manipulation of breaks…Sometimes when you actually incorporate a band into the mix the results are lackluster..
For instance, Black Moon chose to rock over a band late last year to perform the entire “Enta The Stage” album…..There are a couple interesting moments, but I will choose rugged Beat Minerz production over the band scenario any day of the week…
*On a side note- I wasn’t digging that Onyx & Biohazard collabo “Judgement Night” either…HAHA..
Am I alone on this one ? What do ya’ll think ?

KEXP catches up with Seattle’s Vitamin D on their introspective documentary series….
“When KEXP Documentaries interviewed 10 acts for this series, every single band pointed back to Vitamin D as the originator of the town’s current sound. Vitamin D’s band The Ghetto Children (freaking fantastic group if you haven’t heard them) and Tribal Music label were a huge influence on acts like Blue Scholars, Jake One, D. Black and more. Vita’s studio, The Pharmacy has had an open-door policy, welcoming anyone from the community who was willing to put in the work. In addition to his talents as a DJ, producer, composer and engineer, Vitamin D also mentors youth in the community, giving kids from hard neighborhoods a chance to make music”.
And if you missed this excellent collection of rare funk grooves the first time around (Funk On Sight), here is your chance to do the right thing homepiss..
Grief Pedigree is on my most anticipated album of the year list..
WHY ?
Dude makes his own beats (which are very original by the way), pens his own rhymes, and even directs his own videos…..
Let me rewind that one real quick….I know plenty dudes that make their own beats and jot down their own rhymes – shit, I even know some cats that own their own studios, but they still suck…….
The difference between them and Ka is that I can actually feel what dude is saying….It comes off in a very natural way, while others have to force the funk…
HA.
Anyway, hopefully we will see the release of this project sooner than later…
