Arcee & Kae Wonder (The Real Frequency) recently hooked up with Jake One for a segment that they call “Cratery”……They unveil a barrage of all vinyl treats that will keep you on the edge of your seat….
So grab an ice-cold beverage, kick your feet up and prepare for a batch of wax goodness……
No tracklist-
I posted this up about a year and a half ago, but if you missed it the first time, here is your second chance to do the right thing….The Heavy Listening Crew (Trinidad & Freddie Massif) bless us with an hour long podcast of nothing but Freestyle Professors heat….
This is what they had to say regarding this session….
“Today, we pay homage to maybe one of our favorite group EVER.
The FREESTYLE PROFESSORS originate from Forest Projects in the South Bronx alongside rap legends Lord Finesse, Showbiz, Diamond D and Fat Joe.
The crew was formed with one of the best rapper/producer in the game: Branesparker alongside ‘Don Q’ from the same projects and a legendary DJ that used to be down with “Afrika Bambataa” named ‘Foxx.
They dropped their first EP in 1994 which became in 10 years one of the most revered underground records of ALL TIME.
A CLASSIC with the Showbiz produced track, “Down With The Freestyle Professors.”
As an appetizer,Trinidad & Freddie Massif give you a taste of the work (past and present) of some of their heroes.
It includes classic,unreleased and exclusive material hosted by the original members : BRANESPARKER & GW. FOXXX.
Over 1 hour of REAL RAP by the BRONX GRYMIEST…Branesparker, Giff (formerly known as Geo), G.W. Foxx and J-Superia.
Oh yeah….NO bootlegs…you suckers”
Who needs coffee when HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD is on the set?….This Monday morning scorcher will put a little pep in your step cousin…….
Phillip Lehman & Gabe Roth started the funk label Desco Records in the late 90’s……After the label folded, Roth started “Daptone Records” and the rest is history……Lehmen created “Soul Fire” which hasn’t received the same accolades as Daptone, but truth be told, “Soul Fire” keeps it extra filthy and deserve more praise for their releases……
Here is a compilation of Soul Fire artist that will put you under a heavy spell……..
The Homeless Derelix (Architect & Grand The Visitor) have been putting out great music ever since 1995…..Instead of attempting to duplicate the sound of others, the H.D.’s have carved out an original lane for themselves with their no-frills style of Hip Hop…
If your looking for concrete proof- CHECK IN….
“Explanations”
“Critical Meltdown”
If your looking for some extra firepower to make your Saturday Night extra live, check out this new burner, “Planet Rock” by The Planets………Roc Marciano is behind the boards on this one folks and he definitely does his thing…
P.S. Yes this is the same Scorsayzee that wrecked plenty P. Brothers beats in the past……..U.K. STAND UP !!!!
It’s good to hear more new music from Buckwild in 2010……The Celph Titled collabo album was enough to hold me down, but now he comes to the table with remixes to keep the flames burning….
Peep this….
“There Will Be Blood” featuring O.C., Grand Puba, A.G., Celph Titled, Sadat X, and motherfucking Diamond D…….What more do you guys want ?
Here is last Thursday’s show just in case you missed it…….Big shout out to Deuce for answering the Hip Hop trivia question…And another big shout to M.F. Grimm and everyone else that checked out the show…….
Be on the lookout for another session sooner than later, tell a friend…YOU HEARD…
Peace-

Just when you thought it was safe, Battlefield Funk returns tonight for another dose of Hip Hop shock treatment…Yeah, I know it’s been a minute, but brothers have been extremely busy…..
We also have a special guest tonight that is a monster on the decks-so you don’t want to get caught snoozing…
You know how we do: doubles, blends, shenanigans, Hip Hop trivia, newness, under the radar rockets, and all that other fly shit…
Ahhhhhh yeah…….
If you haven’t noticed by now, Hip Hop Battlefield gravitates towards the grimy side of things…..When I hear these sensitive cornballs with their soft rhymes and fluffy beats, I just have to shake my head in disbelief……..
So for this episode of “Joint Of The Day”, your going to get hit with a heavy handed uppercut straight to the face…..This cut by Lo Down (Fright Night) sounds like some haunted house, apocalyptic type shit…..If you missed this in 1994 don’t feel bad, I wasn’t up on this cut until last year myself…..
I’m not well versed on the history of “Lo Down”, all I know is that they get very busy over a menacing beat by Last Straw Productions……If you have more info on this mysterious crew- drop some science in the comment section…
Here is the latest edition of LFHQ…….

After the RSC reunion show and the AC3 pop off in Atlanta, it was only a matter of time before Artifacts went back in the lab and recorded some new material…The name of this cut is “Big Deal” and it’s produced by “44th P”……
CHECK IN….
When it comes to west coast hardcore, “Above The Law” deserve an honorable mention…..K.M.G, Total Chaos, Big Hutch, and Go Mack put the city of Pomona on the map with well though out conceptual albums…..
My favorite album from the crew is the influential “Black Mafia Life” joint that dropped in 1992……I can listen to this record front to back without hitting the skip button…..Two D.J.’s and two M.C.’s combined forces for a project that changed the landscape of west coast Hip Hop forever….
Not only did Dr.Dre use this album for inspiration on “The Chronic”, so many other producers tried their hardest to emulate the sound of “BML” without coming close….
So here’s a salute to you “Above The Law” for helping make 1992 a year to remember……
“Pimp Clinic”………Damn this is funky, so funky that Dr. Dre straight bit it….
“Me Vs. My Ego”
A couple weeks ago I posted up some old Killa Ben shit, now it’s time to hit you over the head with a new K.B. grenade….”Schitzo” sounds like pure, raw night crawler music….It also features G.C.M. repper “Montage One” on the vocals…
I’m feeling this shit……BLAM,BLAM….
Yesterday I got a nice little package in the mail from my Z homeboy Daze Roc………Thanks my man…
Inside the package was a C.D. called “Mic Abuse 2”, which featured a gang of solid material…..If you want to cop the C.D it comes with a special limited edition “Mic Abuse 2” T-Shirt as well….
So quit stalling and head over to his spot if you know what time it is…..Peace to all the San Diego Z’s….
Judging by this song right here, KRS-One & Premier might have the album of the year on their hands……Hopefully “Return Of The Boom Bip” will come out sooner than later….
Listen up as Grand Puba Maxwell & KRS drop heavy jewelry for all of you non-believers out there……
Hip Hop Battlefield gives this song the two thumbs up !!!!!!
“5 %”
