Even though this has been in my rotation for a number of years, I would have to give this MINNESOTA joint “Modus Operandi” the top ranking spot of the day…If you listen to this carefully you will notice that dude is one of the illest producers on the mic….PERIOD…
The 2nd annual St. Polo Day (Polo Green) photo shoot and filming is popping off tomorrow, if your in the NYC area hit up @RACK LO for the location…Also, if your on the hunt for some vintage LO garments check out RACK LO’s Big Cartel page if you want to add more ammo to your stash…
Now is your chance to scoop up the SERGENT RECORDS mix that was initially available only in Japan…Under the radar heaters, doubles and all types of secret society joints on deck !!!

The DITC underboss LORD FINESSE recently rocked a interview and exclusive mix with the peoples over & DUBSPOT…
“For the latest Dubspot Radio Podcast, we present an exclusive mix from acclaimed hip hop artist and multi-platinum record producer Lord Finesse. This mix is a glimpse into Finesse’s world as a DJ and listener who has an omnivorous, ever-growing appetite for new sounds and musical possibilities. It flows at a mesmerizing pace with many unexpected and exciting turns. The mix combines recognizable benchmark sounds with obscure gems that speaks to his deep diggin’ sensibilities.
In our extended interview, Lord Finesse speaks on a broad range of topics including his creative evolution from respected lyricist to influential DJ and producer, his production process and studio workflow, and incorporating Ableton Live into his setup. He even offers some tips and tricks for chopping and looping samples, extracting grooves and programming drums. We also discuss the process of composing his latest release, The SP1200 Project: A Re-Awakening, out March 10th on Slice Of Spice Records.”
*Yeah, I know I’m a little late on this..
If I was the A&R for Cannibal Ox – “Blade” featuring the ARTIFACTS & UGOD would definitely get the sure shot single wax treatment…..One of the best beats I have heard from BLACK MILK in quite some time, and I believe this is the top ranking joint from Can-Ox’s latest release “Blade Of The Ronin”……
After giving this International Women’s Day Mix by DOPE FOLKS some decent burn – it made me realize just how long it has been since I have heard a female MC that really moved me…The last one that really perked my ears up was ANTOINETTE..

What’s the point of having a blog if your going to post the same exact shit that hundreds of other dudes are posting ? I believe it is your duty as a Hip Hopper to spend quality time sifting through the rubbish in order to find music that is worthy of spreading around..
Any ten year old can make a blog / site, but the thing that is going to separate you from the next man is CONTENT…I’m more concerned with quality control than quantity…I could care less if motherfuckers post every hour of the day if the majority of the shit they rock is straight up bullshit!!
My AYAK brethren BIG MURDOX & SLICK BROWNSVILLE recently dropped a nice dose of nuclear rap with “Elohim”….Hardcore Hip Hop is still alive and well..
Alright troopers, I know your on the hunt for that top of the week groove morale jewelry…Look no further – the TRUTH & SOUL podcast crew have heavy DJ sets from; JERU THE DAMAJA, DOUBLE K, O DUB, ROB SWIFT, EL MICHELS, and SUPREME LA ROCK….
Straight from NEW JERZ comes the JOTD by PACEWON & TONE LIV with “In One Ear”….This one needs the vinyl treatment without a fraction of a doubt…

Back in 2008 I was in Chicago visiting family and friends, hitting wild record spots (Shout out to DUSTY GROOVE, OUT OF THE PAST, RECKLESS RECORDS, etc), peeping out ANTIBALAS at Millennium park, posting up at Soldier Field for some Bears action, and all types of other Windy City activities…
While building heavy with my dude MATTROCKS he told me about a MC from CHICAGO that I might not be up on (Since I’m a California kid many of my outta state dudes enjoy playing regional Hip Hop “NAME THAT TUNE” games with me)….Anyway, he proceeds to play a joint by a cat named FULLY G that instantly caught my attention…
FG basically destroys the track with vivid bars, excellent story telling skills, and well thought out CHIRAQ mack mode poetics…With production by ANDY C this joint had sure shot written all over it.
“There She Goes Again” is somewhat of a urban legend…Initially released independently in 1995 with an extremely limited run of 50 copies, the song caught regional burn through mixshows, and local DJ’s (BLACK PEGASUS repressed it in 2011)…
I recently caught up with FG for a quick Q&A session…We discuss his Hip Hop history, Chiraq, the current Hip Hop scene, upcoming projects, and all types of other shit, – so walk with us as we drop straight talk on the BATTLEFIELD..
1…The first time I heard your music a friend of mine from Chicago, put me up on the ” There She Goes Again” joint, but you have a long history in Hip Hop from what I understand….What are some of your earliest memories with Hip Hop in Chicago, and what prompted you to participate in it ?
FG – My first intro into hip hop was 1984 when my brother Van the Buttaman got a pair of turntables. He started collecting records which mostly consisted of House and beat traxs which were big at the time in Chicago,then one day he brought a Run Dmc record Rock Box and it changed everything for me ,I knew then that’s what I wanted to do .
2..What is it about Chicago that makes it possible for Hip Hop and House to co-exist in a way that is different than most other cities?
FG – Chicago is a very diverse city it’s not only House and Hip Hop, But steppers music ,Blues, Juke music, we have a melting pot of music as well as people who have a love and respect for different genres of music.
3…I travel to Chicago from time to time, and for a city so well known for its Graffitti history, it seems as if Graffiti has become less and less prevelant throughout the years, what was it like in the 80′ – 90’s?
FG – I’m sure there were some artists doing there thing, but a lot of cats was banging or hustling .
4…Last year you dropped the very fresh FULLNETO project…I think you guys have a natural chemistry that displays heavy creativity, original concepts, etc….Do you two plan on releasing more material in the future?
FG – Right now I’m working on solo album but me and Mookneto is always working together on projects, so when this is finished we gone put another one out we did, with a couple remixes, plus we are apart of the L.O.E.G – a super group which consist of guys all around the world so look out for that .
5…What is the main difference between the Chicago Hip Hop scene in the 90s compared to now?
FG – Unity, love and originality…Technology changed the game..
*Above photo of DEM DARE repper in the 90’s, not FG…
6…When it comes to Polo culture the Lo- Life’s are often talked about, but the Dem Dare Crew were active as well around the same time period from what I have been told….Can you shed some light on this era?
FG – They had a strong movement in the city back then and there party’s was the shit..Twilight Tone was the man on the 1200s.
7..Is there any other Andy C produced tracks that you have in the stash?
FG – Yes I have 2 more joints by Andy C, 1 that features Gravity as well as BOONEY FLAWLESS called (Money on My Mind) that I’m currently searching for, and 1 with BOONEY FLAWLESS called “What Can You Do With That” that I have.
8..If there were three things you could change about the current state of Hip Hop, what would you change?
FG – Lack of originality / violence in lyrics/ the lack of real Mcs…
9..Shout outs, upcoming projects, Twitter, etc……
FG – shout out my family and friends and everyone who ever hated on me…
New project out this summer
As well as features on 2 mix tapes
Twitter/fullyg
Soundcloud/djfullyg – I highly recommend checking this out – FG is also a DJ & producer…Unreleased joints, freestyles, instrumentals, etc..DONT SLEEP.

*This album cover is straight up ridiculous..
FRED KATZ is generally credited as being a part of the first wave of musicians to rock the cello as a Jazz instrument….His catalogue is extensive to say the least, but it’s his OST work that really caught my attention (Little Shop of Horrors, Harpo, etc)…
For instance the OST for “Journeys Inside The Mind” is flooded with ill compositions underneath poetic jewelry by Sidney Poitier…
RIP FRED KATZ – FEBRUARY 25TH 1919 – SEPTEMBER 7TH 2013…
Tracklist:
1. The Philosopher – King Must Rule
2. This I Know – That I Know Nothing

5. Greeks Had Words
6. Our World Is A Cave
7. Woman’s Place In Society
8. Discovery Of The Good Life
9. Only The Wise Are Brave
10. Penalty Is Death
Here is a joint that is perfect for some mixshow burn, TRIFE DIESEL “NCAA” NIGGAZ. COUNTING. CREAM. ALL. DAY. EVERY. DAY….Yeah, I know that acronym doesn’t really add up, but this joint is so fresh I could care less…
I still believe that over the right production – TRIFE is a problem…Produced by KID CALLED QUEST.
I guess this is the perfect song and imagery to rock due to the recent killing of another unarmed person at the hands of the police in Los Angeles…
The pattern is real…..
” I lay my hammer on your desktop, fuck you and your blog “….
HAHAHAHA….
That dude BUMPY KNUCKLES is back on the set with more newness for 2015…Be on the lookout for the BLACKCARD project with WAYNESKI in the near future..
Even though I scope out mad flicks throughout the course of 24 hours, I seriously doubt I will see anything that is fucking with this..TNT MEETS TMT (Phade, Khufu & Refa 1)…
WHEW….
And if that is not enough to melt your eyeballs – check out this one of KUFU ONERZ doing what he does best…WRECKING SHIT..*Click on photos for further analysis troopers….
