A few years back I was the special guest on Dave Jones African Rhythm’s radio show at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada….Dave is a good dude with a very eclectic taste in music, he also has one of the illest record shops in Canada (Vinyl Records, you can cop from him online as well- look him up if you know what’s best for you)…
On one of his most recent broadcast, he takes it all the way to Brazil with all types of vinyl treats on deck…Don’t sleep…
The Cabbage Patch, the Wop, Robocop, Running Man, Smurfrock, Gigolo, and all types of ridiculous flashbacks hit me when I read this excellent article by Maulud Sadiq…..Even though I fully understand where he is coming from with this well written piece, in my opinion, the only true Hip Hop dance is B-Boying, everything else is a diluted version…
Anyway, do yourself a favor and check this out in it’s entirety….
BAD COP is back for another rare, under the radar session to help boost your weekend festivities….NO GIMMICKS RAP SHIT 17-18..
*Big up to my cuzzo UNIK ONE…..
Back in 2009 my cuzzo PLANET ROCS popped up on KDVS for a explosive live session on the wheels of steel…..If you missed it the first go-round, here is your second chance to get your mind right and exact !!!! DO NOT SLEEP…
Here is a download for you to check in on…I’m doing my thing on some Hip-Hop sh*t LIVE on my mans radio show the other week.. Getting it in on some trick mixing, and dropping all NEW & EXCLUSIVE Hip-Hop in the mix.. (mix starts @ 2mins. 25sec.)
If you like what you are hearing then check out my show “Battlefield Funk Radio”.. Me and my mans Drasar Monumental get it in all LIVE on the Ustream tip, and continue to drop bombs on Serato and Wax.. We also take live phone calls, do Hip-Hop trivia, have free giveaways, and drop a gang of jewels all thru the show.. Big up’s to all the sponsors who make this show possible!!!
Maybe it’s just me, but Toronto rhyme slinger DANIEL SON sounds like a hybrid of WSG/GHOSTFACE/ACTION BRONSON/ with a tiny sprinkle of Roc Marciano….Even with that being said, on his latest offering “The Gunners” he drops a few joints that are definitely worthy of your attention….
HIP HOP BATTLE FIELD TOP PICK “Cigarellos – featuring Skuddy Ranks”….
When it comes to breaks – SOLO 138 (TBB) always comes to the table with an abundance of under the radar scorchers, nice composition, and all types of other treats that will keep your Hip Hop antenna activated…..
At this current time I am coming to grips with the untimely passing of one of my closest friends of the last 15 plus years….SHAAIR was a wonderful, creative, thoughtful, musician who blessed me with all types of jewelry….One of the jewels that I absorbed from him is that he was more concerned with expressing ideas instead of wasting time gossiping, or bad mouthing others (which is a trait you barely see in these times)….
I’m not quite sure where the road goes from here, but I know he is still with us and I will never forget his genius in this game called life….Rest easy trooper- things will NEVER be the same….
RIP SHAAIR-

Big up to my dude MAD MIGUEL & MFGRIMM for lacing me with some certified treats from their adventure at COMIC-CON….I heard about the PUBLIC ENEMY figurines that were being made to honor their entry into the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME, but I didn’t quite know how I was going to get my hands on them….If your on a mission to grab the set – COP HERE….
They even blessed me with a couple secret society Ed Piskor mini- HIP HOP FAMILY TREE joints to boost my morale levels…HAHAHAHA….SALUTE!!!!
I wish MANE ONE would bring back the SUPER B BEAT SHOW….He had so much heat on deck that it was fucking ridiculous….Until that time comes around again – scoop up this recent session where he let’s loose with a barrage of heavy breaks……
Who needs coffee when you have explosive drums to put some extra pep in your step!!!
*I don’t like to repost shit to much, but this goes out to my cuzzo MOBZ 1NER in Toronto…
Canada has a long history of putting out quality joints…Off the top of the dome I can drop a few names that made a impression on me over the years – MAESTRO FRESH WES, DREAM WARRIORS, BLACK EYE, MATHEMATIK, INCREDIBLE EASE (RIP), CHOCLAIR, SAUKRATES, CHECKMATE, and the heavily slept on outfit REDLIFE….
AHHHHHHHH, what a long grueling week it has been…..It’s times like these that I get my mind right to sessions such as this….BAZOOKA JOE & KOOL TONY (Heavy Crates) bless us with a strictly vinyl Reggae avalanche on their latest podcast..
CHECK IN……
The Grown Man Rap Show (Toast & Paul Nice) recently paid homage to PAUL NICE’s bornday by constructing over 3 hours of Paul Nice related tunes…MIKEY D is the assistant host this time around, so please do not sleep…

My cuzzo MFGRIMM just sent over this legendary 1993 flick he spotted on LORD FINESSE’S instagram page….I see KRS, Bobbito, LORD FINESSE, GRIMM, and BONZ MALONE, let me know if you if you recognize any other heads…..
Here is the audio of GRIMM’S verse from this historical day in Rock Steady Park. (It’s dated 94, but from what I understand this took place in 93)…..
Since it’s Friday it seems fitting to bless you with this crucial “Rudie Get Bail” 45 session by DJ BLUEWATER….Over an hour of nonstop groove morale on deck….

Awwwwww shit…
Personally, I’m sick and tired of dudes complaining about Hop Hop’s current state of affairs…If your not actively seeking out new shit to rock, either your not a true believer or you are an extremely lazy type of cat…I grew up pre- internet and had to damn near scour the earth for information – with the aid of the net their is practically no excuse for ignorance when you have a tremendous amount of access at your fingertips….
Anyway, let me get off my soapbox and give you proof that Hip Hop is alive and well in 2016…..Here is some brand new 2016 shit by Mr. Large Pro that is a bonafide sure shot single if you ask me….(Be on the lookout for the 7inch)..
Large Pro and Southpaw Chop team up once again with a follow-up to their first collaboration “Here We Go” on the 2010 “Never Stop Sampling” EP. The new release, due out in Late Summer 2016, features a remix by the man himself, Large Pro.
The original version of “Here We Go” appears on the B side, featuring Large Pro’s tight flows over top of a classic production by Southpaw Chop, with big horn swells and a hard hitting break. The A side, showcases Large Pro’s skills on production as well, with the ”Here We Go (Large Pro Remix)”. Large Pro shows a delicate sense of balance with precise sampling of guitar and horns, and a tight beat pulling the remix together. Both songs feature samples of RUN DMC’s “Here We Go”, with cuts and scratches by Southpaw Chop. The digital release will also feature the instrumental version of the remix.
Featuring a team-up of two of the strongest producers from the United States and Japan, this release brings back the vibe of the classic era, with a timeless display of production techniques and respect for the craft of Hip Hop. Large Pro and Southpaw Chop come correct with another
