The mighty P-Brothers opened up the vaults yesterday and dropped the previously unreleased scorcher, “Swim In A Drought” with EDDIE CHEEBA from MONEY BOSS / BOSS MONEY on vocals….

I wonder if this is a indication that the duo plan on releasing more material in the near future?

PEEP..

Before I even get started I want ya’ll to know something – these remixes that I flip are tailor made joints….Instead of just throwing an accapella over a previously made production, I build the instrumental around the vocals which enables me to get intricate with the wreckage….

This time around SMILEY THE GHETTO CHILD gets a facelift for the slept on heatrock “I Am Legend”….No keyboards, no sample kits, no synths – just raw frequencies that will bang out your ear drums…

About a month ago I was blessed with an advanced copy of the DIRTY VERSION book by Buddah Monk & Mickey Hess….It’s a well written book that goes into full detail regarding ODB’S trials and tribulations, upbringing, addictions, pedigree, etc…

Dirty’s cousin Buddah Monk was the perfect person for this job because he is able to translate from a first hand account how certain things went down…..In my opinion the “DIGGIN FOR DIRT” book by Jaime Lowe that was released a few years back didn’t due the man justice, I prefer this one by a landslide….

CHECK IN…

1.TOMMY WHISPERS FEAT KRYME LYFE & TRIFE DIESEL – “What It Look Like”

The Wu-affiliate keeps it extra greasy on the stand out cut from the Graff Subway series..

2.INSPECTAH DECK – “American Way”

This dropped a few years back, but it’s so fresh that I feel it deserves some 2014 burn….

3.LIVE WIRE – “As The Tables Turn”

If you appreciate under the radar 90’s crime story raps – you will definitely rock this one heavy…STRAIGHT DOPE.

4.ONE DEEP – “CRIME STORIES”

These dudes sound like CANDY STORE to me, but this recently re-issued piece of hardcore should perk your ears up…

5.BIG NOSE – “Not My Style”

The heavily slept on member of HOBO JUNCTION goes for broke over ugly production…One of my personal favorites from the crew..

Do yourself a favor and watch this in it’s entirety if you know what’s best for you…

Afrika Bambaataa is credited to be one of the earliest influencers of hip hop culture. The iconic DJ/producer has been a part of the scene for more than three decades. In their Hip Hop Collection library, Cornell University has collected historical artifacts from the scene with hundreds of party flyers, vinyl records, press packets, magazines and more. In 2012, the pioneering Bambaataa was appointed as a three-year visiting scholar to the college, and with him came he thousands of records from his career that will soon be added to the three-story library. In the latest episode of Crate Diggers, Fuse talks to the legend and explores some of his rarest wax.

“This is the record collection that invented hip hop,” Assistant Curator at the Cornell Hip Hop Collection, Ben Ortiz, says. “This is the place that people will want to go to get the clearest understanding of how this culture began. We are preserving this stuff not just for us, but for future generations.”

And with that, of course, comes Bambaataa’s forward-thinking, multi-genre selection of records that he’s been carrying since the ’70s.

“I knew something different was happening in the streets,” the 57-year-old reflects, referring to his early days.”I definitely knew I was doing something, bringing all these styles of music to the many different audiences I was playing for … It was more about picking out the different sounds from what I was hearing on the radio stations and what I wanted to play for my audience and give them that different sound; take them on a musical journey.”

TUNE IN…

My cuzzo PLANET ROCKS / PEZO was at the crib (WAX MUSEUM) a few weeks ago laying down this VENDETTA VINYL powered mix to honor the Oakland graff crew “GFC” (If you don’t know, GFC is a massive crew that carry on the tradition of skills over lip service, each one teach one, knowledge of self, and staying productive and active)..

“P” was about to call it a day at the hour mark, but the mix was sounding so monstrous I told him he should add on another hour to take “motherfuckers over the edge”…

So to add more fuel to the fire he stacked on ANOTHER 60 minutes of straight heat for ya’ll…Also you should keep in mind this is a off the top of the dome, strictly live, all vinyl mix from front to back..Salute to the entire GFC, everyone at Vendetta Vinyl, NORTH STAR ZULU’S, and my brother PEZO for keeping those flames burning !!

If your looking for some high-powered Hip Hop frequencies, you just found it troopers.Big up to all the independent labels putting out that fly shit.

KAY-DEE RECORDS, the online store and label owned and operated by Kenny Dope, takes things to the next level with the debut of its “Book Series.” Kenny’s vision for Kay-Dee’s first book was to create a premium set with a mix of well-known and never-before-seen “Wild Style” photos, in addition to liner notes detailing the stories behind the music of one of his favorite films. Teaming up with GET ON DOWN, the record label and online boutique dedicated to presenting and celebrating music with unique packaging and exclusive extras, the two have come together to release this impressive and historically-significant musical trophy item:
The Wild Style Breakbeats
The book features the following elements:
• 13 songs total, spread out over seven “big hole” 45s (each with a different label color)
• Re-EQed audio with re-edited / extended audio versions of each song, modified from original source tapes
• Extensive liner notes in a 28-page book, including dozens of images – from “Wild Style” director Charlie Ahearn, among other sources – as well as interviews with Fab 5 Freddy, Chris Stein and GrandWizzard Theodore
• The 14th side (the B-side of the seventh 45) features unique etchings with different “Wild Style” graphics
