” Frankie Numi’s ” album ( Never Ending-Always Building ) definitely had it’s moments…
” Let’s Take A Trip Inside My Thoughts “- featuring Prince Po is HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S top pick…
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

” Visual Picture ” – I can’t understand why this joint got put on the shelf….Two thumbs up…

Damn I cant even front, those Conspiracy Radio dudes ” Montana & Menace ” are killing the game when it comes to fresh interviews..Some of the music they play is a little shaky, but the interviews are usually in-depth, thought provoking, well thought out, and most importantly; entertaining….
This is part two of their latest episode with special guest, Ice-T , Tajai, etc…
” T ” speaks about signing London hellraisers ” Hi-Jack “, upcoming projects, the importance of touring, the decline of record sales, ring tone rappers, internet thuggin, and all types of other shit…

You can hear the new E.P. in it’s entirety before it officially drops HERE
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICKS-
” Da Night “, and ” Money Right ” ( S.A.S. already rocked this Madlib production with the same exact name, HAHA )
Over here at ” HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD “, my motto is ” quality over quantity “….I’m not one of those thirsty bloggers that put up sub-par music just to fulfill some type of corny personal quota…
If I don’t like it, there is no reason to post it…So I spend countless hours sifting through the mundane, in order to unearth the golden nuggets that shine brightly enough to consider “HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD” worthy…
With that being said, this mixtape right here ( Breakfest ) is one of those golden nuggets that deserves your undivided attention..Baltimore’s ” Kool Breeze ” straight murdered it on this one…Breakbeats galore, doubles, crunchy drums, and sureshot selections make this my personal favorite mix of the week…
Two thumbs up, type shit…..YOU BETTER CHECK IN…
I know, I know…I haven’t made a ” Wax Weaponz ” mix in a couple months..Don’t trip though cousin, be on the lookout for a new one sometime in the near future…
It’s only right that I hit you off with ” WW 22 ” in the meantime…When I put this together, my goal was to pull out some of the illest remixes I have in my crates…This mix is all live, all records, all very flavorful…
So quit stalling duke, turn the volume past ten, bless yourself up, and prepare for collision…
Big shout to manz ” State ” (GBK) for convincing me to put this back up…
Here is the playlist…POW,POW….
1. Nas – The World Is Yours, ” Q-Tip Remix “
2. Scritti Politti – Tinseltown featuring Mos Def, ” Beat Nuts Remix “
3. Psycho Realm -Stone Garden, ” Pete Rock Remix “
4. Funkdoobiest – Rock On, ” Buckwild Remix “
5.Shorty No Mas – My Style, ” Beatminerz Remix “

Ras Kass is one of the illest from the west side of things to ever do it…It’s a shame that he chooses to rock over sub-par beats lately, because if the kid had decent production, I believe he could still make a tremendous amount of noise out there…
Anyway, check out these demos that didn’t make the cut for his debut album, ” Soul On Ice “…In my opinion these songs should have been included…
” Core Audience “
DOWNLOAD
” Walk The Walk “

If you thought volume one was nasty, volume two is going to blow you right out of your timberlands..This is only a sampler, be on the lookout for the official release sometime soon JACK !!!!!!
Props to DJPB….
