PEEP-
When it comes to Dancehall toasters, here is my all time top five in no particular order…
1…BOUNTY KILLER.
2…MERCILESS.
3…BURRO BANTON.
4…CUTTY RANKS.
5…NINJAMAN.
Each one of these individuals have proven that they are no joke when it comes to patterns, inventive styles, crowd control, sound clashing, tone, discography, and influence….It’s unfortunate that Mr. Gun Pon Teeth (NINJAMAN) was arrested along with his son for a murder that took place a few years back….His sentencing is actually going down today so I seriously doubt we will see the DON GORGON anytime soon….
I haven’t studied the in’s and outs of the case as of yet, so I will not pass judgement at this time, but I will say that it is a very unfortunate situation that should not be happening to such an accomplished, straight up legendary pillar in the Dancehall world…
Here is a mix by MATRIXSOUND that showcases some of NINJAMAN’s finest moments…
On the latest broadcast of the DROP A GEM SHOW (LEO & Speak No Evil) they go in- depth with DJ Eclipse for all types of jewels and treats…..Once again I rock the “Hidden Gems” segment to help set shit off (Starts at the 6 minute mark)….
At this point books are just as important for me as records…..Sure you can rock e-books and all that, but nothing beats adding more firepower to your personal library….This joint by those FAT LACE dudes (Promo Only: A Visual History of Hip Hop Memorabilia) will be a nice addition to my collection…
Andrew Emery & Dan Greenpeace for the win…..
“It tells the story of the music’s rich heritage through a range of rare items in a beautifully curated cornucopia of the authors’ (and their peers’) huge collections of hip-hop ephemera, clothing, press photos, rare promo posters, T-shirts, hats, toys, sneakers and more, gathered over 30 years. From Run DMC sweatshirts to Eminem sneakers, unreleased records to Public Enemy dolls, genuine Wu-Tang ‘killer’ bees to Def Jam jackets, they’re all here. Andrew and Dan have opened their own cupboards, boxes and storage units, but have also reached out to a legion of international rap nerds to ensure that this is the cream of rap collectibles. With items photographed exclusively for this collection and complete with notes that shed even more light on these covetable artefacts, Promo Only is the fruit of a combined 60 years of being in love with hip-hop”.
You want the drama, you can’t handle the drama duke…..
This piece of Soviet musical archeology orchestrated by DJ BAZIL is right up my motherfucking alley without a fraction of a doubt…Drum breaks, suspense, ill composition, wild unpredictable time signatures and all that other wild shit….
Quit stalling and check in….
” Before my album dropped caught a Grammy, uncanny, bought my first rollie from Manny / dirty burners my crew never hand me, nigga we family – you not, get shot, get caught slipping like Dexter Manley “…..
When I first heard SAUCE MONEY flip those bars on “Pre-Game” with JZ, I knew homeboy was the truth….Regardless of how things went for him in later years I still believe SAUCE is very nasty with his pen game…If he could get the right production underneath him, he would be a straight problem for dudes in this era..
The good folks over at OB4ZS recently assembled a batch of SAUCE joints that you should peep…
I’m going to put you in a time machine and transport you back to 1992 for some San Fransisco material that might have bypassed your radar when it initially dropped…T-Mor & Schwinn make up the ELEMENTS OF CHANGE crew which made some noise as part of the bay area independent Hip Hop boom that began to take shape in the early 90’s…
Thanks to those dudes over at HELLA RECORDS for making sure their debut album finally saw the light of day…”To the Sleepers” is my top ranking cut…
PEEP-
2017 is not quite over yet troopers….
SMILEY THE GHETTO CHILD is back on the set with some newness that will perk your ears up….On “Historical” he flexes more of that good old fashioned rawness that we know him for..
“Live from the birth place of HipHop “The Bronx” A-Mob Entertainment’s own Smiley The Ghetto Child releases a brand new visual for “Historical” His latest single. The video was shot on Andrews and 183rd in the The Bronx and was directed by MB Media And Design / http://www.MicrophoneBully.com (Be On The Look Out For The Up And Coming Mini Doc From Smiley “To Come Back Even Stronger) Dropping Early 2018”..
Those dudes from France (BUILT TO LAST) recently assembled another strictly Roc Marciano affair that highlights some of his joints from the last few years…I’m quite sure that after you peep the playlist you will add this mix to your rotation…
