” Try to hit the lotto homie , can’t even get a follow from me / thirsty ass bitches can’t even get a swallow from me “….
HAHA…
Here is the second set of visuals for the MONEY BOSS PLAYERS / TAKE MONEY mixtape that dropped awhile back…..This is some ol’e Summertime backyard boogaloo type shit that will give your morale levels a power boost…
PEEP…
You want that motherfucking drama ?
Alright then homeboy – the great Italian composer PIERO PICCIONI supplies us with nonstop pressure on the soundtrack from LUCKY LUCIANO….If you take one good look at the cover you should know what time it is..
David Ma recently conducted an interview with the legend KOOL.G.RAP for the latest Wax Poetics mag….
CHECK IN…
GZA was around a lot? What are your thoughts on him. His themes, especially on Liquid Swords, seem to be taken directly from your early work.
“He was called Genius at the time. He was our Cold Chillin label mate, even though he wasn’t part of Juice Crew. But we embraced him and his genius. It’s appreciated that GZA mentioned me as an idol if his. He is a solidified legend and planted his Wu-Tang flag. Wu was one of the best groups that ever did it, period. They’re like the Temptations of rap world– they’re just the best.
Earlier you mentioned Eric B as someone who greatly developed your career. Why wasn’t there any G Rap and Eric B projects?
He wasn’t really producing like that. He was more of a DJ, like Polo. Not to say he didn’t have anything to do with production. I mean, I picked a lot of those records on the first album that became full beats and songs, but I wasn’t credited as producing it, you know? In the same way, Eric B had a lot of influence on projects but he never officially ‘produced’. We were just really close fiends and I owe him a lot”.
Once again the BUILT TO LAST CREW comes with some under the radar action.This time around DJ-P is behind the decks…
Please DO NOT SLEEP “P” keeps the flavors interesting by taking the time to actually mix (Not enough cats are doing that these days unfortunately), rock a few well times scratches, and making sure the selections pick up momentum….

About Beneath the Streets:
Only a handful of transit workers, daring explorers, and graffiti writers have experienced the full scope of the New York subway system. Beneath The Streets reveals this world for the first time with fantastic photographs captured from throughout the tunnels and byways of the sub- way. Although it provides service to over 5 million riders every day, the subway is for most a sealed system. Very few of its patrons are aware of the extent of this vast underground infrastructure. The authors of this important historical work first discovered this underground world in the process of photographing graffiti. Their riveting work brings to light a subterranean maze that includes 600 miles of active tracks as well as abandoned sections and disused stations.» PRE-ORDER

7:00pm – 9:00pm
Recently I was checking out my dude UNIK ONE’S spot and ran across mixes by BUMRUSH RADIO..With a name like BUMRUSH RADIO how can you go wrong, right?
So after a little investigating I stumbled onto a session by P-Trix (Not the cat from the west coast who used to slaughter dudes in the ITF battles) that made my ears perk up…This “Hip Hop Vault Mix” is loaded with nice blends, well thought out composition, etc….Over two hours of goodness on deck!!
Straight out of Brownsville, Brooklyn’s comes a new batch of material from KA….On his new EP (1200 B.C.) he flexes his dangerous monotone style to new heights..
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICK – “Years”…
I’m finally back after a week long extravaganza in the city of Los Angeles….The Beat Swap was interesting…
All kinds of cats popped up to rejoice in all things Hip Hop related…I had the opportunity to catch up with old friends, caught and sold some records…But out of all the things that I experienced – meeting DJ ALADDIN is at the top of the list….
I can’t even begin to go into detail about how influential he was to me (Not just the scratching but also production)….Cats throw the word LEGEND around too loosely these days, but ALADDIN is a straight up DJ legend without a fraction of a doubt….
SALUTE…
I will be alongside a portion of the VENDETTA VINYL posse in the city of Los Angeles this weekend for this years BEAT SWAP……We will be posted up pumping vinyl, cracking jokes, and creating mass mayhem on the avenue…
If your in the area slide through and give the kid a high five…..
Also, the B-Boy Summit is back on the set in LA and it’s free, so do the right thing and head out to Southern California for some Hip Hop holiday action troopers…
Three new downloads from Lord Finesse “Moog Montage” off the The SP1200 Project: A Re-Awakening, “Doin’ What I Want” off the The SP1200 Project: DAT Signature Sound and “Jewelz” off the The SP1200 Project: E-mu EP.
This week we’re going to be dropping all the details on the Lord Finesse SP1200 Project, and providing updates on pre-orders for the ‘Collectors Sets’ and ‘T-shirt Bundles’, so stay tuned and follow Slice Of Spice for more specifics:
For those seeking the vinyl, subscriber to our mailing list to receive pre-order info as soon as it goes live. eepurl.com/dDNmk
Those TRUE MASTERZ dudes are steadily making a name for themselves with their brand of consistent, no frills, true to the grain Hip Hop…..I’m a little late posting their most recent project, but better late than never…
There is a lot of talent emerging from the west coast and it’s a shame that cats like this do not receive the burn that they deserve in this era, while other less talented MC’s out here get laced up with undeserving accolades and praise….Regardless give this shit a listen – it might surprise you…
Big up to manz TOASTER for lacing me with another KAOS PAD, a Vestax turntable stand, and a handful of CD’s from Turkish Hip Hop cats that I have never heard of (Just because I can’t understand the language doesn’t mean that I can’t comprehend freshness when I hear it, I will keep my fingers crossed).
Anyway, THRESHOLD RECS (Home of KOOL KETH, MOTION MAN, KUTMASTER KURT, etc) have a podcast page that is flooded with treats…Do yourself a favor and head over there for a midweek tune up…* Can we please get a MASTERS OF ILLUSION PART 2 fellas ?
Like I always say, ” A funky drum break a day, keeps the motherfucking suckers away “….
HAHA…
And a personal pet peeve of mine is hearing the same breaks over and over again…Thankfully on this podcast by RETRO ROLAND you will hear all types of rare, explosive breaks that will force you to catch a groove..
“Featured Artists In The Mix: Little Royal, Roberto Carlos, Kei Kobayashi, Marie Rottrova, Hachirou Aoyama, Funkshone, Dennis Coffey, Manu Dibango, James Gang, Deep Purple, MPB4, Mr. Bugle, Gustav Bron and Much, Much More!
I have another fun set of funky bboy breaks from around the world! Download and share the funky vibes as I do my best to bring rare grooves to the masses!
In this mix, I’ve included artists from Brazil (MPB4 & Roberto Carlos), Czechoslovakia (Marie Rottrova & Gustav Brom) , France (Michel Audiard) and more! Plus, I was able to drop some Deep Purple in blend and rarely played tracks by Dennis Coffey and Manu Dibango!
Have fun, let loose and don’t forget to download! Enjoy!
Pass the soul on, so the world can FEEEEEEEEL IT”.
After a lengthy hiatus it appears as if my homeboy from Londontown “KD” is back in effect mode…..So head over to DAILY DIGGERS and scope out what he is up to, but make sure to tell him the grimy dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you cuzzo!!
I will be the first to admit that I wasn’t blown away when I heard “Solar Flares” awhile back, but I still believe JERU THE DAMAJA is a forced to be reckoned with…
FFWD to 2014 and the original DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDREL is back on the set with this new EP entitled “The Hammer”..Quit stalling and do the right thing troopers.
