This mix by ” D.J. Beat “, ( I know, the name is so nondescript ) is packed full of hardcore burners that will have you pushing the rewind button…

Never heard of this cat before, but I was impressed with his selections, composition, and overall approach to this project ( Underground Railroad Volume One )….

Any mix that rock’s ” Down And Dirty Tribe ” is a winner in my book…..If your into that raw, under the radar shit, scoop this up pronto, JACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

” Urbananotomy ” recently conducted a interview with Mr. Hip Hop royalty, ” Fab Five Freddy “…He drops info about Andy Warhol, Wild Style, Basquiat, upcoming projects, etc..

M.T.V. has never been the same after dropping ” Yo M.T.V. Raps ” from their roster…

Salute to you ” Fab “, for lacing me with a lot of classic moments…

TUNE IN

I’m not going to even lie, 85% of the time my musical taste gravitate towards mostly hardcore music, but on a lovely day like this it’s only right that I snap my fingers to something a little less gritty…

This album by the ” Shaolin Temple Defenders ” is a perfect backdrop for summer time shenanigans….Real funky shit poppin off on this project, you do not want to sleep….

FIYYYAAAAHHHHH….Yeah, just like everyone else I am waiting to hear that new ” M.O.P. ” artillery….This cut right here ( Crazy ) produced by Statik Selektah, is rowdy enough to get somebody scuffed up….

” Termanology ” even drops in for a 16…In his rhyme, he calls himself a ” young Rakim “……I don’t really know about all that ” Term “, but you definitely do your thing….

Be on the lookout for that new M.O.P. ( Foundation ) when it drops in a couple weeks..

Big up to everyone that checked in with us live last night..

When cat’s are talking about top ranking west coast lyricist, ” Jihad ” is a name that you should hear pop up….Pound for pound, he is one of the illest M.C.’s on this side of things…

Sometimes his beat selections are a little out there, but with the help of ” D – Styles “, Jihad is carving out his own lane with his well thought out, dark, brand of Hip Hop..

” Fuckin With Kids ” featuring D – Styles………….. Ill vocab…

” Shit You Never Thought Of ” featuring D-Styles……Insane scratching on this..Damn…

By now you have probably heard the ” Chef’s ” new joint….Wow…I was kinda suprised that he would deliver the goods at this high of a level…It’s one of the best albums I have heard this year without a fraction of a doubt..

You can practically listen to the whole album in it’s entirety without having to hit the fast forward button…..2 thumbs up.

This cut right here ( Ason Jones ) produced by ” Dilla “, is a heartfelt tribute to O.D.B……R.I.P.

Ever since I can remember, I have been a straight up fiend for this thing we call Hip Hop….Instead of buying G.I. Joe figures,baseball cards, etc , my father and I were travelling to local record shops to cop the latest 12 inches….While most youth’s were obsessed with cartoons and video games, I was locked up in my room analyzing album covers and trying to perfect my blends..

That’s why it amazes me that in 2009, I can hear a joint from the 90’s or 80’s that bypassed my radar…For instance, this mix by ” Ill Dome ” rocks a gang of cuts that I had no clue about…

Good to hear a mixtape with actual mixes ( Lost art these days it seems )…….
