I’m eager to hear the CORMEGA & LARGE PRO collabo album “Mega Philosophy” when it drops in a week..He recently sat down with the dudes over at AMBROSIA FOR HEADS for a heavy Q&A session that will hold your attention…

“Ambrosia For Heads: Over the years I’ve watched so many people quote that first verse of “The Saga.” That’s one people might have tattooed: “I grew away from people I grew with…” Your verses on loyalty supersede everything else within your catalog. You do that again on “A New Day Begins,” saying, “I weigh my mans like grams, understanding there are losses when you measure weight”…

Cormega: Loyalty is very important—in everything that you do, in every aspect of life, loyalty is essential. When you’re a generous person, you definitely need loyalty, ‘cause people will use you like a sponge. Like, right now, I have a show in New York on July 21st, my album release party. I know what’s gonna happen. The day of the show, a bunch of people that I’m cool with—but that don’t contact me much—they’re gonna call me or they’re gonna be outside, getting somebody in the club, “Yo, tell ‘Mega I’m out here.” So there’s gonna be all these people trying to get in free—who probably didn’t buy my album, but just [wants]. They want, but they don’t want to give. On this album, I’m not doing that. I have friends that live in California that bought tickets to fly to New York City to come from my show, Connecticut friends who are driving…but there are local people who will burn my phone down so they can get in for free.

My first contract that I got with Koch Records was the fuckery of all fuckeries. It was initiated by the guy (Bob Perry) that I helped get the job at Koch. The [same] guy who used to work at Landspeed [Records]—I’m the one who made Landspeed pop. Landspeed made noise prior to me, but it wasn’t loud noise. A fart is noise, but it’s not a gunshot. I fuckin’ carried Landspeed and took it to a whole ‘notha level, got certain people in position—that’s loyalty right there. And I stayed on Landspeed. The Realness? I did not have to be on Landspeed. I had Interscope callin’ me, I had TVT with a contract—TVT had a lot of money! They had Lil Jon. I had numerous labels wanting to sign me, but I stayed with Landspeed. That was loyalty. But how was my loyalty rewarded? I got a fuck-you-deal when I signed with Koch by the same person I was working with at Landspeed”.

Not sure if you have heard this recent interview with CHUCK D & KEITH SHOCKLEE on the Combat Jack Radio show, but if you haven’t, do yourself a favor and take a listen to 3 hours of nonstop jewel dropping to say the least…

WOW…

It’s been a minute since I checked in with those CRATE RAIDER dudes, so I decided to head over to their spot to see what’s good..Luckily for us they have uploaded a bunch of new episodes after taking a brief hiatus…

On episode #16 they link up with MASTER DAVID for a round of vinyl morale.

Over the years I have acquired all types of kicks…Mostly Nike’s, a nice amount of Adidas, New Balance of course, a few Wally’s, but I do not own enough Pumas to be honest..

That might change if these AW14’s & XS R50’s are a indication of what they are cooking over there….FRESH IS THE WORD!

“Born into a great tradition of revolutionary PUMA runners, the ever-popular XS-850 gets a Parisian sophisticated makeover by BWGH.

Inspired by the work of Ethan Cook, known for his work in the abstract expressionist painting movement, the XS-850 x BWGH translates the obsession with intense and pure colours. Sold with one pair of tonal laces and one pair of mottled laces”.

COP HERE…

Once again I’m going to direct you to a spot that is straight up ridiculous when it comes to unveiling official heat…

VINYL ADDICTS is a gold mine that is flooded with critical info, very thorough reviews, and a heavy dose of under the radar material…Quit stalling and head over there if your serious about getting your studies up.

PEEP…

Every once in awhile I will point you in the direction of another blog that is holding the goods….LET THE BRAINS BLO post nothing but high quality mixtapes that will keep you Hip Hop fiends under pressure…

DJ TIMBER – B-BOY MIXTAPE “ROOTS” EXCLUSIVE FREE DOWNLOAD!!!
Until now only available on CD: download your copy today! If you like please share…

“We know that without total understanding of what happened in the past, it would be difficult to relate to the future, we know that within the structure of the music, there should be a message, and the message should be TRUTH”

*Words taken from the Roy Ayers 1981 LP ‘Africa, Centre Of The World’.

With this mixtape I’ve tried to take the listener on a journey back to the essence of B-Boyin, an essence far away from organized battles, sports drinks and gymnastics, an essence that is nothing more than you, the floor and the music.

DJing wise I used a system I started putting together for my now sold out mixtape ‘Adventures In Rhythm’ (2009) to put ‘Roots’ together, where each cut of each break is mathematically planned so that everything falls into 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s and 32s making the mixtape ideal for enhancing your musicality at your B-Boy training sessions. The CD is just over an hour long and is made up of 35 tracks. Everything on the CD I have recorded from VINYL! No mp3s, no spotify, no itunes, no CDs, no downloading!
