It’s going down in S.F. this weekend party people….If your in the bay area and you know what time it is, you better do the right thing and CHECK IN (Ya heard me)..
Big shout out to Zulu Gremlin for lacing up the posse…See you guys on Saturday….
Get your early bird tickets HERE !!!!!
While your at it-peep this 2010 Pro Am promo…..
Ed Lover is back with some more shenanigans for “C’Mon Son 12″….He takes time out to roast Joe Biden, Mathew Knowles, and a couple other celebs that got caught slipping recently…
He stars off a little slow, but I promise you by mid-way you will be cracking up….
For some strange reason the “Rhyme Syndicate” have been written out of the Hip Hop history books…CRAZY…How could anyone forget a 50+ plus posse that stretched from east to west, and even Europe with the signing of Hi-Jack ( The first European Hip Hop group signed to an American record label )….
Nat The Cat, Bronx Style Bob, Divine Styler, Everlast (Before he became Whitey Ford HAHAH), Domination (Haven’t Heard Nothing- is one of the best Hip Hop songs ever recorded), Afrika Islam, Spinmasters, Low Profile, S.L.J. (Before he bacame Shafiq of Sa=Ra), Bango, Bilal, Hi-Jack, Tim Story, Toddy T, King-T, Lord Finesse (Remember when he was down with Syndicate management), and of course the Syndicate sniper, “Donald-D” (I know there are more members, but you get the point-the posse was large)…..
They made such a huge impact on me growing up that I should really dedicate a whole entire week to the crew (I will in the near future)…Seeing this example of east-west Zulu Nation unity at an early age, taught me that fly music is not really a regional thing, it could come from virtually anywhere-even Europe..
So when that fake east-west beef popped off in the mid 90’s, I knew better than to participate…Salute to the motherfuckin Rhyme Syndicate- for teaching me what a true BUMRUSH is really all about…
I recently stumbled upon this mixtape by Donald-D (Capitol 1212) that made me put on my best screwface…”D” has made quite a name for himself here and abroad over the years…I’m not sure if he is living back in the States, last I heard he was living the life over in Italy….
Do yourself a favor and scoop this up…This mixtape gets the two thumbs up !!!!!!!!!
Seattle beatsmith “Bean-One” has produced for Supernatural, Boom Bap Project, I Self Devine, Source Of Labor, X-Clan, etc…Even though 2010 is barely underway, “B” has already released a couple projects; instrumental album (Short Circuit), collabo album with G.Soulo (Heroes Theme Music), and a remix album that caught me by surprise…
Here are a couple highlights …Decent stuff poppin off, give it a listen cousin…
206 Stand the fuck up !!!!!
Crooklyn Dodgers-“Crooklyn Remix”
Nas-“Second Childhood Remix”
It’s a shame that the Leaders Of The New School disbanded after releasing only two albums…Although they weren’t my favorite group in those days, I realize now that they were truly ahead of their time (They were all teenagers when they first dropped)..
After Busta Rhymes’s departure, “Charlie Brown”, “Milo”, and “Dinco-D” stayed on the low..Every once in awhile I would hear them collaborate with other artist for singles and whatnot, but I don’t think any of them ever released another full length album.
If you want to hear what Dinco-D sounds like in 2010; peep this session with “Methuzulah” over a classic D.J. Premier beat (Form Of Intellect)…
He still got it…
Check out this new shit from Chicago’s jack of all trades, Rashid Hadee…”The Specialist” will be featured on producer Nick The Wonder’s upcoming album (Outside Looking In)…
Peace to my manz Big Matt & Selfish out in the “GO”..
The Hip Hop Project crew have been holding down the airwaves for fifteen years…They usually combine their shows with brand new cuts alongside under appreciated 90’s flavor…

I enjoy this mix so much that I had to post it up again…God damn, “Pump” covers a lot of ground without losing momentum..
Hip Hop Battlefield gives this joint the two thumbs up stamp of approval…
Out of all the Monster Island Czars- Megalon and Rodan caught my attention the most….Megalon sounded like he was on some old shoot em up, boulevard bully shit….Rodan came off like a well read, conspiracy theorist Hip Hop monster…
Why is it so hard to find info about these two on the internet ?…
I recently stumbled on a interview with ” Rodan ” at Urban Smarts.Com…Interesting read for a interview that happened in 2003….He discusses his problems with M.F. Doom, M.I.C., politics, and up-coming projects…
This mixtape is not exactly new-It has been on the shelf for over a year now. Thanks to D.J. Riddler for finally allowing this project to see the light of day…..
So all you Wu-heads out there; quit stalling and add this one to your stash box of Shaolin flavors…..
Looking for beats is a daily operation over here at Hip Hop Battlefield….I don’t believe in taking days off..If I’m not scanning over records to chop, I’m planning new mixes for the radio show (Battlefield Funk)…
365/247- I stay on my GRIZZLY ADAMS because this is not a joke for me….Some dudes look at Hip Hop as a hustle, some approach it from a hobby standpoint….But me, Mr. Drasar Monumental, I live and breathe this Hip Hop shit….PERIOD……
Now that we got that out of the way lets get into some DRAMA !!!!
Yeah famz- I’m going to slap you across the face with some more remix action….You already know how I get down for mines…….Explosive drums, minimalist mayhem, crazy bass waves, and all that other grimey shit ……
Strap on your combat helmets-grab some shelter and prepare for collision…..AHHHHHHHHHHHH..
Mobb Deep featuring Rakim- ” Hoodlum ”
This compilation by D.J. Isako features a gang of under the radar cuts that even your most dedicated “golden era” type, would have a difficult time playing ” Name That Tune “…..
