Since it is Friday and I know ya’ll are searching for some action – I’m going to lace you with a couple special spices to work with….
The Soul Spectrum show with the Ambassador (KZSU Standford) put together an all Brazilian session to keep your morale up…..Heavy drum breaks, soul power, and all types of goodness are thrown into the rotation…..
Do yourself a favor and listen to this in it’s entirety…
With so many blogs out there sometimes it’s difficult to pinpoint who has the goods….The Top Notch Records blog is holding when it comes to explosive vinyl rips…
For instance, this Lord Aaqil joint “What’s Your Name” caught me completely off guard…..Take a listen…
I’m going to take you all the way back to 1992 with Bobby Konders on Tim Westwood’s Capitol Rap Show…..Regardless of what some people might have to say about the man, you can’t change the fact that the “Massive-B” general was/is responsible for breaking mad records here in the States..
Matter of fact, the NYC Badmen project changed my whole perception on what hardcore really means…Anyway, take a listen to this 30 minute dancehall explosion and get your mind right…..BOOOOOYAAAAKKKKKAAAAA.
Via-S1..
JS-1 mans the decks on the newest broadcast of RIOOC….
You will hear doubles, cuts, and all brand new material from this RSC repper..
“I went through a lot of the newer hiphop and tried to pick songs that i personally liked or appreciate. Nowadays since EVERYONE makes music, there is tons of demos to listen to, mixed in with actual artist and albums. I only play what i like and don’t support some of the nonsense that has infiltrated “underground” hiphop. There is tons of dudes imitating other rappers, tons of producers imitating other producers, etc.. That’s not what hiphop is all about. So on this show i did my best to rock what i thought was worthy or notable. There is lots of newer MCees and still several veterans in the game bringing you good music. When doing a “mix” show, i don’t like playing whole songs, afterall it is a “mix” show. If you like any of these tracks, you can go buy them on itunes or support by buying the CD from sites like ughh.com and fatbeats.com. I’d like to thank Dj Eclipse for doing a show like this with little reward. It’s hard work and you have to deal with several people who complain and harass you, like me. lol. I hope you enjoy this new mix, and hope you support some of these new artists like Soul Khan, Homeboy Sandman, Rasheed Chappell, Blacastan, etc”…

When I’m out on the field looking for records I search for all types of shit…..Punk rock, Hip Hop (past & present), Jazz, Psych, reggae, OST’s, and all types of genres are on my mind as I flip through the stacks….
This past weekend I came across this Spox-PHD “Brilliance/Four Times Raw featuring Diamond D, Sadat X, Kurious” 45 on Correct Technique Records……The group consist of DJ Spinna on the beats and Oxygen on the vocals…In my opinion “Brilliance” gets the win out of the two, but don’t sleep on the B-Side troop…
Big up to my dude Kid Dyno for initially putting Oxygen on my Hip Hop radar..
“Brilliance” produced by DJ Spinna….I also included the instrumental for all of you out there that like to let the beats rock..
Here is a new project by Del just like he promised a few weeks ago, “The West Coast Avengers” features all funk samples this time around…..WCA runs 14 songs deep with Del handling all of the production duties…
Be on the lookout for Deltron 2 with Automator on the boards dropping sometime in 2012…
* Whoever rocked the cover art deserves a salute.

Haven’t checked for Fila since my teenage era, but for some reason I decided to scope out their web site to see what they have popping off this Winter….
BLAM….This comfy looking Panno jacket looks right up my alley….
If you want to see what Fila is up to these days, CHECK IN….
I’m about half way through this mix by Skillkid and I’m already spazzing out…
Raw drums check, doubles check, under the radar body rocking breaks, CHECK…This is the official promo for the Raw Circles Sessions event in Belgium by the way..
Via- MM.
What part of the game is this ?
It seems as if some file sharing groups are under pressure right now….Blogs are shutting down left and right, dudes are crying foul, cats are getting sued, and motherfuckers are shook..
Guess what fam ?
I could really give a fuck less….Mr. Hip Hop Battlefield has been rocking for over four years now, and a very small number of my links are down, but guess what ?
I really could give two fucks..Why?
Because I’m a Hip Hop dude and I know for a fact that other Hip Hop dudes will find a way to flip the system just like we always have..Sure a straight up mafia move just got pulled on the blog world…..Sure underhanded politics are at play..
Sure it’s crazy wack that our hard work could get zapped away without notice (Hopefully you backed up your files)..
But stop your bloodclot crying because no one really cares…..Maybe Hip Hop will go back to the original recipe- cats pressing up records and pumping them independently like they are supposed to…….Thank god I’m a vinyl junkie to the death and all this MP3 shit doesn’t make me or break me, but all you straight digital cats that sold off all your records are going to have to get more creative when searching for new material now…HA.
Welcome to 2012 duke – shit is about to hit the motherfucking fan so grab your umbrellas……
Regardless of all the extra fuckery popping, HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD & FUNKWHATYAHEARD ain’t going nowhere because real live dudes do real live things….PERIOD..
Now were going to find out how sharp some of these weirdo blog creeps really are……I predict most of these blog opportunist are going to shut down shop because they relied on “blog bottom feeding” and their source of nourishment is drying up faster than you can say NAPSTER….
Big up to everyone that has rocked with me over the years (I SEE YOU)……You know how I get down over here : No dickriding, no ads, no asking motherfuckers for money, no favors, no angles, and no copping pleas…..I do this shit because I am a dedicated Hip Hop student that owes Hip Hop tremendously for helping to mold and shape me into the man that I am today….
A wise man once told me, ” It’s not about what Hip Hop can do for you, it’s about what can you do for Hip Hop ? “…
KEEP VINYL ALIVE MOTHERFUCKERS-
D
The “Scratch Overdose” segment has been missing in action as of late, so it’s only right that I splash ya’ll with some serious turntable abuse..
This time around Q-Bert, Shortkut, D-Styles, Varja, Shiftee & my peoples the “SCRATCH SHAMANS” let off some explosive scratch ammo at last year’s Fader Fest…WOW….Don’t sleep if you know what’s best for you trooper.
Get your scratch patterns up !
It appears as if 2012 will be a big year for SP-1200 wrecker Gensu Dean..Be on the lookout for the release of “Lo-Fi Fingers” on February 28th on Mello Music Group.
Chief One recently assembled a comprehensive mix of GD material that is packed with heat….And while your at it, make sure you seek out the C.L. Smooth & Gensu Dean “American Me” remix project….To be honest, I listen to it more than the original version….Can we get a full blown collaboration album fellas ?
