This documentary by the B BOY MERCENARIES is straight up out of control on numerous levels, it goes in-depth about the origins of the ultra aggressive, legendary UK crew SECOND TO NONE…Luckily for us someone back then was smart enough to record this footage or a very classic era in UK Hip Hop would have been lost forever..
Please watch this documentary in it’s entirety if you know whats best for you…Two thumbs up !!!!!

*In above flick – Ayatollah, my dude FDRZ & myself…
Today I’m going to bless ya’ll with this new AYATOLLAH project entitled “The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth”…..Nine instrumental tracks, plus one joint with Ayatollah on the bars as well….So if your attempting to jump start your week do the right thing….FREE DL LINK (Make sure you spread this around troopers) –
And while your at it, peep this two hour interview with Ayatollah & myself (THE BOXCUTTER BROTHERS) with those DROP A GEM ON EM dudes out in Queens NYC…..We go into detail about our creative process, Hip Hop history , production equipment, legendary sessions, and TRAGEDY KHADAFI even pops up for a surprise appearance so do not snooze…*Show starts the 10:00 minute mark…
If you have been rocking with HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD over the years, than you already know that San Diego’s DJ TENSHUN has always received much burn on this side….
WHY ?
Dude constantly comes to the table with aggressive, bugged the fuck out drum chops, fresh scratch sentences, and a I don’t give a fuck attitude (Which I appreciate wholeheartedly)…..On the “Scabz & Bruises” mix he lets loose an avalanche of BBoy chaos that will force your antennae to activate…DONT SLEEP.
Former Juice Crew repper CRAIG G is back on the set with some 2016 treats….”I Rap & Go Home” is the first leak off of his new project that is dropping May 5th..
Peep the visuals.
I’m not going to hit you with a gang of adjectives when it comes to describing this “Brasilian Sweet Soul Mix / Comp” by the AMBASSADOR – just trust me that this session will give you a nice boost of soul power….
WHEW….Living proof that music is a language of it’s own…..
This is an oldie but goodie…
Right after GURU passed away, my dude KHUFU ONERZ (GFC / NS / NSA /) went for broke and paid respect by flexing his skill trade…FRESH IS THE WORD..
This Thursday AYATOLLAH & I ( The Boxcutter Brothers) will be on the very fresh “Drop A Gem On Em” podcast with SPEAK NO EVIL & LEO…Past guest include Chyskills, Big Twinz, Positive K, Krumbsnatcha, JS1, Tragedy Khadafi, Prince Po, Royal Flush, etc…
Were going to drop all types of jewelry so make sure you tune in 5:30 pacific time…
Based off of a couple show stealing features on EPMD’s “Business As Usual”, people were fiending to hear a Redman debut album…It wasn’t quite “ILLMATIC” expectations but I do recall the anticipation level and the buzz around “Whut? Thee Album” being extremely high at the time…..
FFWD to the new millennium – I still believe REDMAN can rhyme with the best of em – my only problem is that his ear for beats has been questionable for quite sometime, but out of nowhere in 2005 he dropped an atom bomb with the release of the “GILLA HOUSE CHECK” 12 inch….Not sure who produced this joint (it’s not listed on the wax that I have) but they kept it raw which fits REDMAN’s style perfectly…..
Even though ROZEWOOD flows over an esoteric / heavenly backdrop on “Niggas To Gods”, don’t mistake this tune for not being hardcore with lines like – “You have not a clue what they do to our babies / say its for the flu, won’t be surprised if it was rabies”….”Same enemies that created crack babies / took our names and our gods when they enslaved me”…
Produced by Bozack Morris…
I’m going to splash you with some dangerous frequencies that you won’t find ANYWHERE else on the internet….“Silverhawk” on the dubplate tip rocking strictly NINJAMAN & SHABBA RANKS…..This is not that happy go lucky dancehall shit – this is that certified rudeboy flamethrower special flying at your grill…..
Put on your best screwface and prepare for more pressure !!!
When it comes to hardcore GODFATHER DON created his own lane….On “Tribute To Godfather Don” French DJ THE WORST lets loose a barrage of GD joints that deserve repeated listening…..
