Even though I kinda fell back from feeding my AF1 fetish a couple years ago, I’m seriously thinking of doing my own top 50…So make sure you stay on the lookout for that…

This list by the ” Mayor ” will definitely surprise many of you, especially his number one pick…

Mayor, who has just under 1200 pairs of crispy Air Force 1s, has made a name for himself as a major player in the sneaker game and even has his own sneaker Ustream show on Thursday and Sunday nights. In Mayor’s top 50 you’ll find a bunch of highly sought after Air Forces and special make-ups that even veteran sneakerheads might have missed. But which models made the cut? Check out the countdown to see Mayor’s favorite fifty…

Seattle has a rich musical history….I’m not talking about that grunge shit that your moms was blasting in the early 90’s….Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, and Jimi Hendrix all started their illustrious careers in this north western city…

” Light In The Attic Records ” & crate digging extraordinaire ” Mr.Supreme “, have spent several years unearthing funk & soul gems from this region that remained largely under the radar…

Recently the original artist that created some of this timeless music have reunited to record, perform, and get the props that they rightfully deserve …

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the trailer for “Wheedle’s Groove”…Two thumbs up !!!!!!!!

* Favorite quote- ” Good music is alive forever “……( True indeed, my brother )

A couple years ago I ran into under rated rhyme slinger ” Pep Love ” at a world famous record store in San Francisco…We chopped it up for a minute, cracked a couple jokes, etc….

I noticed he was carrying a bunch of jazz records in his hands.” What’s up with the Jazz records Pep, you chopping beats these days “, I asked with a slight chuckle…..He replied, ” Oh yeah, I have been for a minute now “….

On this new cut ( No Doubt ) Pep brings his production chops to the table….

Everybody knows ” Diamond D ” is no slouch when it comes to those beats….It should come as no surprise that he does his thing on the wheels of steel as well…

You can listen to ” D ” rock the breaks on Swift F.M….

TUNE IN..

I’m really getting tired of putting up these R.I.P. post…It seems like every month another musical icon is passing…It seems like every month someone from the Hip Hop nation is traveling to the other side…AAAAHHHHHHHHH

Earlier today one-time ” Flavor Unit ” member, ” Apache ” passed away…Not quite sure of the details surrounding his death and I’m not quite sure if I want to know…

Just yesterday ( Real Talk ) I was listening to ” You Must Be Out Of Your Fuckin Mind ” in the gym….CRAZY…My condolences go out to his friends, family, etc…

” You Must Be Out Of Your Fucking Mind ” Fat Joe-featuring Apache & Kool G.Rap..( Produced by Diamond D )
