If you appreciate that Brazilian funk mode like I do, than you will get put under a spell by this compilation..It’s a perfect soundtrack for a lovely summer….
Pull out that Acai berry juice, turn on your trusty oscillating fan, and prepare for some heat..
Peep the playlist….

Don Lett’s is the European version of ” Fab 5 Freddy “…(That might not be the most accurate comparison, but I think you get the picture)….As a cultural ambassador, ” Don ” has brought together more people than many so – called government’s…
He is credited as being one of the first D.J.’s in Europe to meld reggae and punk rock music into his sets, which influenced the ” Clash ” and numerous bands of that era, and beyond…
Don directed ” Musical Youth’s ” first video ( Pass The Dutchie ), ” Dance Hall Queen “, and his movie ” Westway To The World “, won a grammy in 2003..
There are plenty of accolades that I have not mentioned…I guess you will have to pick up the book ( like I did ) to get the full run down…..
Chairman Mao and D.J. Muro come correct with this conceptual mixtape, ( Run For Cover )….It features all remakes of some very flavorful tunes…
I’m not going to hit you off with a playlist this time around, but trust me when I tell you, this is that shit !!!!!!! It was released late last year, and all songs were recorded from the original vinyl pressings…POW, POW, POW…….
This compilation featuring all Florida funk bands is straight heat…Over 20 cuts of under the radar gems from the Alligator State…Consider yourself blessed homeboy…
Peep the playlist…Enjoy

All the way from the U.K. comes this mix ( A Country Practice ) courtesy of, ” D.J. Woody and Sean Vinylment “….In terms of obscutity and execution these cats did a thorough job..
Jazz fusion breaks, funk beats, and a unorthodox approach makes this project a keeper….Check out the evil sounding intro, sounds like some creepy, horror film type shit !!!!!!!
DO NOT SLEEP…

M.C. Ren is one of the King’s Of The West…..Period….Dudes talk about Snoop, Crooked I, etc…But the Ruthless Villain doesn’t get enough shine when this regional king talk start’s poppin up….
Here are a couple lines that should refresh your memory..
” I hit a nigga off in the head with a chair / the reason for that, the motherfucker he was standing there “…( M.C Ren – Final Frontier )…
” Anytime that the 9 wanna leave, I got a 38 hidden up the sleeve / And it’s ready to go to war, cause that’s what it’s here for, I shoot down a million nigga’s and shoot one more “…..( M.C.Ren – Appetite For Destruction )…
” They want a nigga dead or alive / cause I don’t talk jive, I try to survive “…( M.C. Ren – Mayday On The Frontline )…
I could truly go on forever ( off the top of my head ) but I think you get the picture…Strange thing is, after Ren put out the ” Kiss My Black Ass E.P. ” I stopped checking for him a little bit…I liked that E.P., but his follow up record ( Shock Of The Hour ) switched up the production dramatically.
Regardless, their is not many dudes that brought that hardcore shit like Ren…You actually felt the tension soon as he grabbed the mic back then….Salute to you Ren, for making me write better rhymes….
Check out this extensive interview ” Dubb CNN ” conducted with Ren awhile back…..POW,POW,
Stretch’s ” Konstant Kontact ” blog, was one of the main inspirations for starting my own spot…The sheer amount of heavy artillery he was dropping was ridiculous..
His input into that blog has slowed down dramatically…Why ?…Who knows…I’m quite sure he has a lot on his plate, maybe he doesn’t have the time for this blog game anymore…..
Regardless, check out this interview ” D.J. Eli ” conducted with Stretch…
Eclipse is back to burn with another edition of his, ” Rap Is Out Of Control ” radio show…” E ” takes time out to chop it up with the great ” Sadat X ” for a interesting listen…
Get ready for new joints, doubles, blends, and all that good shit…

I’m not one of those cats that has a grip of memory disk full of different drums, melodies, etc….When I make a beat everything is straight from scratch…The reason behind this being, I want to have a open mind when I approach my record collection and my sampler..
Some of my friends think my technique is crazy, but I just look at it as being adventurous…
So here we go again, another remix grenade tossed right in the middle of cyberspace…BOOM….No Midi, No keyboards, No nonsense….
Around 2003-2004 I stopped checking for the D.M.C. D.J. Battles..It seemed like after the “P- Trix”, “A- Trak”,and “D.J. Craze” era, cat’s couldn’t take it to another level…
Last night I decided to see what’s up with the up and comers on the D.M.C. set….Just like I suspected, sloppy juggles, shaky transitions, and way too much Drum and Bass influence….Is this a rave or a motherfucking D.J. battle ?….
One of the D.J.’s that caught my attention though was,”D.J. Slyce”..Remember him ?…He stopped battling in 1999, but decided to step back in the ring in the 21st century…
After a 10 year hiatus, did this beat juggling monster from New Jersey have the right stuff to take the crown ? Nah, but second place isn’t half bad…….
My homeboy “Monzrock” , just sent me this new 2009 heat rocket (Suddenly, produced by E.C)….
I have been building with this cat for a number of years, and everytime we meet up I instantly notice the progression of his skills… Keep it on the rise famz….
YOU BETTER CHECK IN IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU….
