” D.J. Muro ” or Takayoshi Murota ( his real name ) got his start in 1987 as a member of of the ” Krush Posse “, which consisted of ” Microphone Pager, D.j. Krush, Twigy, etc….
He has become a household name when it comes to rare, funky, and creative mixtapes…This ” Blue Note ” mix by ” Muro “, should help you get your weekend started off on the right foot….2 Thumbs up..
” Babylon Burning ” in S.F. is closing it’s doors after a 2 year run…Damn, the recession is really shaking things up everywhere…Head down there and cop some ill books while you still have the chance cousin…Salute to ” Babylon Burning ” for holding me down with that critical information…You will be missed….100
The original ” A.Z. ” or ‘ Azie ” ( street legend that was portrayed in the movie Paid In Full ) also repped on the mic device with the Harlem hardrock outfit ” Mobstyle ” in the late 80’s and early 90’s…In 1992 they released the album ” Game Of Death ” which is full of dramatic, gun slinger, boulevard maniac rap…And by all accounts it appears as if ” Mobstyle ” were really terrorizing dudes on the avenue…
The song that I am posting today ( Kidnapped ), is the kind of joint you play in the whip while driving around mean mugging sucker D.J.’s….Mobstyle is still doing damage in the 21st century….Be on the lookout for upcoming releases…
Camp Lo’s ” Stone And Rob ” mixtape had it’s moments….But the ” Fort Apache ” mixtape ( produced entirely by Ski ) has a more cohesive feel…It’s no ” Uptown Saturday Night “, but ” Sonny Cheeba ” and ” Geechie Suede ” still bless this mixtape with that flashback rap…
” HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’S TOP PICKS “—( Bed Rock, 82 Afros, Material )
On March 11 2009, Dj Supreme was a invited guest on KEXP 90.3..For over 2 hours ” Supreme ” spins nothing but soul 45’s…He ” GOES IN ” kinda crazy on this joint so you don’t want to sleep….
Shout out to all the 206 Z’s…
It’s remix time folks….The wait is over….For this weeks remix we have a Prodigy flip ” Keep It Thoro “, and a Xzibit joint as well ” Eyes May Shine “…..Quit wasting time famz, and scoop these up while you have the chance. ( Flipped, baked, roasted, blessed by Drasar Monumental )……………Major shout out to my dude ” Sha Onerz “
Mr Funk What Ya Heard is back on the set with another critical mix for all you cyber beat freaks…And yes he is flipping this all off the dome to give it that ” Live As Fuck ” feel ( you know how we do )….So CHECK IN, he most definitely does his thing on this 45 minute jump off….100…..Here is the playlist.

After Tony D’s wife dropped me a line ( Peep the last comment section ) I decided to stop wasting time and dig in my crates to put a ” TD ” mix together….Since ” Wax Weaponz ” is only 30 minutes long I had to keep it short and flavorful….But you will hear a true diverse representation of ” TD ” selections…
This is all wax…No Serato, No editing tricks, No additives or preservatives….Just a one – take mix session, done by none other than ,” Mr. DRASAR MONUMENTAL “…In upcoming months I plan on seeing a bunch of ” TD ” flag wavers coming out of the wood work…That’s all fine and dandy, but have these same cats went out and bought his records ?….Did they support his movement from then to now ?
The bottom line is that ” TD ‘s ” music will never be forgotten…. My condolences go out to his friends and family. May he rest In peace….
By now you have probably heard about ” Tony D’s ” untimely passing…At just 42 years of age, ” Tony ” leaves behind a extensive catalogue packed with banging beats and that New Jeru grittiness….A true pioneer in many aspects, ” Tony’s ” fusion of Hip Hop and dancehall ( PRT, Almighty and K.D.Ranks, Blvd Mossie ) demonstrated how ahead of the curve he was…
Much respect goes out to you and your entire family…R.I.P.
Here is one of my favorite ” TD ” productions ( Scott Lark : Natural Bliss )..*Check for the ” TD ” mix I just did today *
The Trentonian newspaper just wrote a article about ” TD “…PEEP
I have a newfound respect for ” 7L ” after checking out this ( Bladerunners ) mix…In terms of execution it must have been a tedious project to handle, because it sounds very technical and intricate…You don’t hear many edit mixes anymore, and that’s what seperates this mix from the rest of the pack…The other half of the ” Bladerunners ” crew, ” The Razor ” goes straight psycho on the edits…( enought to make Steinski proud )..
Even though this is a very thorough mix, there are a couple misteps…” 7L ” sprinkles a dash of ” Hipster Sauce ” on the mix towards the end…( when you hear it you will know what I mean ) ..But all in all, this is a very solid effort that deserves some burn…Big up to those kids up in ” Beantown “….100
On this ” Rooftops E.P. ” you will hear a heavy dose of down-tempo grooves laced with booming, crunchy drums…Nothing too groundbreaking, but right in the pocket ( Sometimes less is more, take note all you 10 million sequence dudes )…
This is perfect theme music for Sunday night lamping sessions or 3 A.M. city cruising….The cat that produced this project’s name is ” Skipless “….I think he is on to something, so peep for yourself cousin…
The production duo known as ” Sid Roams ” are on their GRIZZLY as of late…They have supplied beats to ” Prodigy “, Hardwhite “, ” A- Alikes “, ” Big Twinz “, ” Vordul Mega “, ” Evidence “, etc..Most of their joints fall in the ” Cold Hearted, Gangster Shoot Em Up ” category ( which isn’t a bad thing, if it’s done the right way HAHAH )…
In 2007 they put out a instrumental project that has it’s moments…These are my favorite cuts, ” Bringing That Heat ” and ” Sound Mission ” ..
For over 20 years ” Sade ” has churned out nothing but beautiful music….Instead of sacraficing her integrity and cashing out, she has opted to take the road less- travelled and dealt with the music industry on her own terms..( You gotta admire that )..
She has the uncanny ability to make even the hardest hardrocks melt underneath the weight of her voice..I have seen the grimiest of cats, start snapping their fingers and put on a happy face when one of her songs popped up on the jukebox…” Sade ” is in a zone all by herself, you can’t compare her to anyone before and after her…..Another crazy thing is that her core band has remained together for over two decades..( Almost unheard of in this day and age )
Salute to you ” Sade ” for being such a fucking beautiful enigma….A true class act ..
Once again ” Paul Nice ” graces the BATTLEFIELD with that old goodness….Quit wasting time and CHECK IN …..
Pose and Ewok x Ironlak x SuperVision. from Ironlak on Vimeo.
The music in the background is almost unbearable to listen to, but if you can get passed that and check out the hand styles, you will notice that ” Pose ” and ” Ewok ” aren’t playing fucking games….DAMN
