It’s damn near impossible to front on Chuck D….While the majority of my Hip Hop heroes traded in their morals for a paycheck a long time ago, Chuck still holds down the fort and drops heavy jewels from a global standpoint….
Peep this interview he did for Billboard magazine awhile back…..Two thumbs up !!!
Chuck D and company will begin their world tour next month in Canada….Do the right thing and CHECK IN if they roll through your city….

Blam, Blam, HOLD THAT !!!!!!
London handstyles is a full colour 160 page book with over 800 images documenting some of London’s finest tags from the 80’s through to the present day.
Also featured in the book are words, quotes and legendary tales from London’s most notorious and prolific writers including Sub, Sham, Diet, Drax, Merok, Dzia, Zomby, Regret, 2 kold, Panik, 10 Foot plus many more.
With the clean up operation now well under way, sadly you can no longer see the work of London’s most infamous writers… …this book allows you never to forget.
‘This book is a piece of history, the best thing since Subway Art!’
ROBBO PFB
’Looking at this book has brought straight back the buzz and mad memories and makes me want to go straight out and paint…A lot of unseen pics and great quotes showing what our life is like…..underground.’
FUME DDS
’This book for me digs deep into London’s underground culture and history and at the same time gives lost or forgotten unsung heroes of our scene some light.’
ZOMBY FBS
Peace to my dudes in London- Daily Diggers & Kool Skool……..
Even though we are in the year 2010, some folks still can’t help themselves from being nothing more than human trash…..The U.S. has a long history of bigotry and intolerance: maybe one day can destroy this system, and build a more civilized way of dealing with each other…
If you think race relations in America are all good- maybe this clip of the Nazi party roaming around in L.A. will wake you up…
Los Angeles is the gang capital of the world, how and the hell can these punks roam freely in the streets without being killed ?
* Taken from Hood News. Org….
Yeah, this is more like it….

Rock Steady Crew representer “D.J. Slynkee” goes all out on this 46 minute breakbeat extravaganza….He starts out a little slow, but he eventually picks up the pace and goes in for the kill…
It’s impossible to not want to hit the floor after listening to this in it’s entirety ….Turn your ghetto blasters to ten and prepare for some heavy rocking folks !!!!!
Check out this interview ” P ” did with Fader T.V. recently….
* My favorite quote- ” When I got accepted it was really hard to get in, now everybody is accepted for the silliest things- it needs to be hard again “……HAHAHAHA.
Awwww shit……My manz “Mr. Funk What Ya Heard”, told me a month ago that he had a plan to organize some heat for the remainder of 2010…..Looks like duke wasn’t just running his jibbs (Like most cats out there)…
If your in California- come help us celebrate at this FREE jam to pay respects to the Wild Style Technicians crew…. We have all types of surprises in store so you don’t want to get caught snoozing…
* Click the flyer for further analysis….
You can catch us behind the turntables wrecking the set !!!!!
I’m not going to even front, I stopped listening to De La after Prince Paul stopped producing for the trio…Their sound started to sound a little to R & B for my taste…
But a couple years ago I caught one of their live shows and was completely blown away….Pos’s breath control was unbelievable, Plug 2’s energy was off the meter, and Maseo added that extra seasoning to complete the chemistry of the performance…
Check out this new, Japanese-only release …

Every once in awhile I will stumble on a blog that leaves me speechless….The “Ain’t It Good To You” blog made a Hip Hop fiend like myself lose my composure….
Supreme Nyborn, Antoinette, and Positive K compilations…..Well thought out write ups….Interviews, mixes, Hip Hop history 101, and this nice selections of songs from the Audio Two (Milk Dee has one of the illest voices in Hip Hop) made my day…..
And while your at it, make sure you stop by D.J. Dee- Ville’s excellent blog when you get a chance cousin…..
I’m going to take you cats all the way to the foundation of this thing we call Hip Hop….Sedgwick & Cedar (Bronx N.Y.) hold down the fort when it comes to that fresh apparel…
When you head over there tell them that kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you trooper…
If you want to add a little boost to your Tuesday morning, I suggest that you swoop up this break mix by “Monk-One” (Breaking Rocks)….
Instead of hitting us with the “usual suspects” breaks- he keeps it interesting by adding a couple secret spices (HAHA)….And for all you beat nerds out there, there are plenty open drums for you to flip out over…..
Quit stalling JACK !!!!!
Never heard of this cat “Yahtz” before, but he does a decent job on this new mix……One thing that caught my attention from the gate is that he took the time to blend every song (Thank you)….
However, there are a couple questionable tracks that should have been left on the shelf….Other than that- it was a enjoyable listen…Find out for yourself duke..
This is D.J. Premiers radio broadcast from last Friday…….He definitely gets IT IN, and even pays tribute to Malcolm Mclaren for the last half of the show…
