" Milkcrate Jewels 34 "
It’s been awhile since I slapped ya’ll with a Milkcrate Jewel, so without further delay here goes another rocket blast straight from the dungeons of my wax laboratory……
Earlier today while flipping through the stacks- I came across a record that I haven’t listened to in a minute…..Beat Nuts the “Rarest Nuts” L.P.
I caught this a couple years back and I was surprised it contained unreleased material, B-sides, etc….
One of the commercially unreleased joints that caught my attention was a cut called, “Robbed”…..It was probably made during the “Stone Crazy” sessions because it sounds similar to one of my favorite songs from that album “Find That”, except with a little more bounce…..
Eerie floating keys, Chuck D vocal sample, explosive drums, and plenty death threats = WIN….
" Down Low Wreckage E .P. "
I’m going to take you all the way to Staten Island for a heavy dose of Hip Hop shock treatment….
Wu-Tang affiliate Dark Skinned Assassin dropped the stellar Down Low Wreckage E.P. in the mid nineties….Ill crime stories,menacing production, and all that other hardcore shit….
After garnering attention for the project he ended up getting incarcerated for three years which slowed down the momentum of his musical efforts…….He now goes by the name Dr. Ama and he released an album entitled “Split Personality” a couple years back…..
Anyway, here is the download for Down Low Wreckage…….Turn the volume up and prepare for rough turbulence..
TRACKLIST-
01 – Lock Shit Down
02 – Smoke In Ya Face
03 – Gotta Get The Creme
04 – Life Of Shorty
05 – The Horror
06 – Untitled Raw Shit
" DAS EFX 2011 "
“I’m the reason why you niggas rock Timberlands / you cock suckers make me nervous, stop fidgeting”…..
Peep out this brand spanking new joint “Boogie Bang” from Skoob of Das EFX fame…….At first I was a little skeptical, but after I heard the scratch sentences on the hook I knew I was dealing with a sure shot single….
VIA- BLACKOUT.
" Let The Beats Rock "
BEATS, BEATS, AND MORE BEATS……
Are you sick of listening to beat tapes that put you straight to sleep ?
Growing weary of instrumentals that lack the soul power you crave ?
With the steady influx of tinkerbell drums, corny as fuck synth lines, and unoriginal chops many are left scratching their heads wondering, “What the fuck happened?”
Don’t trip though trooper, that dude from Philly “Small Professor” has some production that will wake you up…..
TUNE IN…..
" Monday Hip Hop Morale "
While scoping out the Crates Of AG blog, I stumbled onto a fresh remix project by a cat that goes by the name, “Debonair P”……His beats match up with the vocals perfectly, he rocks nice arrangements, and “P” even took the time to add some scratches to assist on the momentum factor…
It’s not often that a remix project captures my attention these days, but this joint kept me listening from front to back…..If your looking for some Monday Hip Hop morale, do the right thing JACK !!!!
" New Shit On Deck "
It looks like the DoomStarks project is going to finally see the light of day…..

Just in time for your weekend Hip Hop fix….
Zulu Nation DJ, “Lord Ron” blesses us with Preserving The Culture Mix #13…….No playlist this time around homeboy, but you already know how he gets down……Doubles, under the radar rockets, classics, blends, etc….
Over an hour of non-stop flavors
Peace goes out to all my AMAZULU’S worldwide……

" Fresh Is The Word, Part 5 "
When I copped a boom box Flud watch a couple years back, I had no idea it would garner so much attention from people (Mainly females)…..I didn’t get it to be hip, I copped it because I actually thought it was fresh…
It’s the first watch I have ever owned as a matter of fact….
Now Flud is back with an Akai MPC sampler type watch that I have to pick up with a quickness……If you want to scoop one one yourself,
