It’s starting to heat up here in VIETNAM, CALIFORNIA but these camo THUD RUMBLE hoody joints are right up my alley..

CHECK IN….

I gave THE LEGION’s newest offering “Lost Tapes” a thorough listen yesterday in the system…..Some of the joints I have heard before, but they made sure to add a few unreleased cuts to round things off…Go out and cop the wax on ILL ADRENALINE if you know what’s best for you!

HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICK – “Caught Up”…

DOWNLOAD…

You know what they say, “A drum break a day, keeps the motherfucking suckers away”…

HAHA…

Even though I DO NOT sample from MP’3’s, I still enjoy listening to all types of music throughout the day to keep my composition rolodex activated at all times…

LES SURFEURS is a French blog that is holding the goods when it comes to under the radar grooves….For example, this record by Jean Claude Pelletier (Streaking) rocks a drum break so nasty that you will instantly get the SCREWFACE when you hear it…

So when you head over to their spot, make sure to tell them the grimy dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you homeboy…

PEEP…

CHECK IN….

KOOL KEITH & A.G. link up for a round of mic splashing on “ElDorado” the first offering from the Demolition Crash album due out in the near future…

PEEP…..

Dr. Butcher (One of the best names in the history of Hip Hop if you ask me) has been one of the biggest supporters of the “GMV” series….We have had long, extensive conversations about every nuance involved with the recording of these records ( We also share a deep appreciation for eerie, bugged out breaks) ….

To have one of my inspirations big up my productions has me not only charged up, but it also makes me want to dig deeper and keep challenging myself when I turn on my sampler…

I’m quite sure the majority of the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers are well versed on BUTCHER’S contribution to this art form, if not you should do the right thing and get your studies up regarding this highly influential Hip Hop soldier !!!!

SALUTE.

Here is one of my favorite Dr. Butcher productions…”Enter” off of the AKINYELE “Unreleased Hits” album…

You might have a few pairs of custom kicks, you might even have your car laced up with custom additions – but do you have custom crates for all those records you caught over the years ?

HAHAHAHA….

JESSE DEAN DESIGNS is the spot to check for if your on the hunt for DJ related custom work…..

CHECK IN DUKE….

It’s crazy to think that JERU THE DAMAJA’s seminal release “The Sun Rises In The East” hit the 20 year mark yesterday…..

The original dirty rotten scoundrel drops heavy jewelry on the YOU MUST LEARN podcast detailing the process behind the recording of this classic album..

Running time : 42 minutes…

DOWNLOAD…

SAY WORD…

Cormega & Extra-P link up for another round of official goodness with “Industry” the first single off of the MEGA PHILOSOPHY album…..I’m looking forward to this release…

Turn the motherfucking volume up !!!

PEEP…

What up troopers ?

Your already on the hunt for some heatrocks I assume, so let me quit stalling and point you in the direction of another spot that is “HOLDING”…

Over at MOJOKNIGHTS you will find so many top notch mixes that it will send you into a frenzy…When you head over there make sure to tell them the grimy dude from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you !!!!

DONT SLEEP…

If you remember a group from Detroit that released a few 12 inches with Dilla production named LAWLESS ELEMENT, than the name MAGNIF will be somewhat familiar…..

He recently dropped this new joint with AYATOLLAH “Coming Up” and the duo have plans to release a full length in the near future…

PEEP
