Last Friday I had the opportunity to spin at the “Aero Soul 2” jam that popped off in downtown Oakland…….All types of heads showed up, young and old for a night of true talent, dedication, graff, originality, and of course much fun….

In the past I wasn’t much of a watch type of dude….And then one day I spotted a fly boom box watch courtesy of Flud Watches that had me bugging out….

No ice, no corny colors just pure original flavor……I copped one about a year ago for a hundred bucks and then all of the sudden my life took a turn for the better….SERIOUSLY….Everywhere I go motherfuckers are quick to say, “Where and the hell did you get that watch”……Or, “Does your watch actually play music” HAHAHA….

Something about this watch has the females catching the vapors as well….I already knew ladies loved the accessories and all that, but I never had a clue they would flip out like this…

If you think I am bullshitting cop one of these yourself and conduct your own social experiments……

*This special edition Roc Raida joint is wild…..R.I.P.

It’s a challenge sorting through all the music that I get sent to me on the regular….But what’s even more challenging is finding material that is actually worthy of Hip Hop Battlefield shines……

I’m not asking for much: A little originality never hurt, fresh beats, convincing rhymes, etc….

The good folks over at Doxide Music Group sent me this project by IMAKEMADBEATS & D.J. Traumatix (IMAKEMADMIXTAPES) that caught my attention…
