20 years ago, New Music Seminar champions ” Freshco & Miz ” had shit on lock…These two heavyweights made their mark in the Hip Hop world by welcoming all challengers in some very legendary battles…

The Miz vs. Alladin battle had D.J.’s shook from coast to coast.
( Remember that shit ? )

Nowadays ” Freshco ” is writing books…

” Miz ” is still wrecking the turntables…

Next time you are traveling through cyber-space, make sure you head over to their website….Make sure you tell them that kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you ………

TUNE IN

And just to keep it 100, you know I had to hit you off with this flashback karate chop….

Complex magazine recently dropped their top 100 sneakers of the decade article……They included some decent joints, questionable joints, and some downright puzzling joints on the list…Entertaining nevertheless…

Check in for yourself duke….

YEAH……You guessed it troop…Here are some more remixes that I pulled out of the stash spot to hit you over the head with…You already know how it goes down over here…

Loud, crunchy drums…..Sinister sounding chops, and a raw, stripped-down approach…POW,POW,POW….

If you have shitty computer speakers you won’t be able to hear the low-end manipulation. I suggest you pump this on a ill system so you can hear the true science of what’s popping off…..

Anyway, put on your god damn seat belts, fasten your combat helmets, lace up your timbos, I’M GOING IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. FUNKWHATYAHEARD and I went in with a barrage of Hip Hop artillery this week…Instead of running our mouths like we usually do, we decided to let the music just speak for itself.

New joints, under the radar rockets, blends, and a large amount of turntable abuse…..Big shout out to the chat room posse, you guys should get your own comedy show…HAHAHAHA..

The trivia question is still unanswered, if you have the right answer hit me up at ZJUDAH@YAHOO.COM and you will get a special 2110 heavyweight package…..AIIIGHHHHTTTT…

PEACE

The first time I heard of ” Bobby Konders ” was when I copped the N.Y.C. Badmen record in the early 90’s…It was a risk for me because at the time, I had no clue who he was….

But the album cover looked so ill, I knew there would be a couple heaters on it…..And I was right, that album had it’s share of rude bwoy anthems that I still rock to this day…………

” Bobby Konders & Jabba ” are still wrecking stages coast to coast…Check out this clip below, and see for yourself homeboy…

Big shout out to Rap Radar…

They say a sucker is born every minute, but this is just fuckin ridiculous…This is what’s wrong with D.J. culture today; you gotta bunch of fools tap dancing behind the turntables playing too many god damn games….

Salute to all D.J.’s that actually care about SKILLS….No gimmicks, no smoking mirrors, no bare-chested circus acts, no shenanigans, just SKILLS….

The Connection: Modern Explorations In Afro-Beat & Afro- Latin is the vision of Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia. The two are considered amongst the worldÃ?s most progressive club DJs, having provided Hip Hop, Dance, and Rare Groove to dancers for 40+ years combined.

In the last decade, they have each fostered intense followings for specific genres and sounds. In Big Richs case, its been Afro Beat/Funk/Jazz and World Soul. The multi-talented poet/producer/songwriters eight-year-old JUMP N FUNK Fela Kuti Tribute Party is widely recognized as the very best of its kind, as he has at times carried that movement on his back and been largely responsible for the current revival of the original Black President. Similarly, Hip Hop radio legend and former Vibe Magazine columnist Kool Bob Loves mission has been to expose rare Latin Jazz/Funk/Soul/Breaks at his award-winning VINYL IS FOREVER monthly at APT (NYC), as well as at the bi-coastal FANIA RECORDS TRIBUTE annual gigs.

Close friends since 1990, Rich and Bob started spinning together in 97, and have branded their musical journeys at their HAPPY FEET party to the great pleasure of crowds worldwide. An inspired competition exists between them to outdo the other by introducing underexposed tunes. The Connection allows for others to share that joy that goes on in their DJ booth. This compilation represents their passion for the rhythm that runs through us all, as well as the respect and love they have for each other. We hope that it connects you to your ancestors, or maybe just neighbors across the street, and way beyond
