LORD FINESSE & BOOGIE BLIND bring out the heavy ammo for this session that is filled to the brim with all types of head nodders (Live From The Boogie Blind Residence)…
Please keep in mind that this was done in one take….No edits, no overdubs, no smoke and mirrors just straight all the way live action..
I gave DIBIASE’s newest release “Schematics” some burn in the system a few days ago….Here is HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD’s top picks..
“SPAMBURGER” featuring my man SELFISH..
Thank goodness that NORMAL BIAS took it upon himself to assemble a homage to TONY D that is as thorough as they come…..He brings along King Shameek, YZ, G, Mr. Law, and a few others to contribute stories on one of the most slept on producers from the late 80’s – early 90’s…
TONY gets praise for being one of the first to rock “moaning beats”, but I think he gets overlooked for bridging the gap between dancehall and Hip Hop with his timeless production contributions to ALMIGHTY & KD RANKS, P.R.T., etc….
SALUTE-
“The debut episode of the Normal Bias podcast pays tribute to hip-hop producer, MC, and DJ Tony D who died in a car accident five years ago. In addition to classic and unreleased tracks recorded by Tone and beats that go for miles, I welcome some of the many talented artists and people that worked with Tone over the years. YZ, BeFyne, Mr. Law, Shawn Lov, G from WPRB, and Dre spend almost two hours sharing their memories of Tony and paying tribute to the man. King Shameek of Twin Hype and DJ Jay-Ski of the Skratch Makaniks also contribute stories about their time with Tone”.
“Smoke Something” is the second leak from the MONEY BOSS PLAYERS upcoming project due out May 13th…YOUNG JB is newest addition to the crew, luckily he holds his own alongside EDDIE CHEEBA & TREY BAG…
If this album has any productions from Minnesota, or the P-BROTHERS – they might have one of the best albums of the year on their hands (I will keep my fingers crossed)..
INFINITE EVIL (One of the best names in the history of Hip Hop if you ask me) displays more of his freestyle wildness on the first offering from the “MEGATRON” album….Take a listen to “G1” and catch a Friday morning zone..
SAY WORD.
NIKE HUARACHE’s first hit the scene from 1991-1993…Reissues popped up in 2000 and 2004 before falling under the radar once again…Luckily for us NIKE decided to recently reissue the classic HUARACHE SLATE’s for the Spring season….
Heads are bound to catch the tremors from these scorchers….
All the way from Barcelona, Spain comes this mix of 2014 material by DJ ABB Funk….Perfect for a long drive or lengthy flight homeboy (The running time is over two hours and there are some joints that I enjoy, but I do not co-sign every single selection)..

The moment of truth has finally arrived because the DITC Remix Project leak hit the net earlier today….I was eager to hear this just like the majority of the HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD readers out there…After giving it some decent burn I would have to give SHOWBIZ’s remix of “Best Behavior 2” featuring Fat Joe & Big Pun the championship belt…
Please do not get it twisted : Every producer involved brought their “A Game” on this one…SALUTE..
Sometimes a playlist doesn’t do a mix justice…On this session by BONGHOLIO IGLESIAS he adds many twist and turns that will keep your ears perked up throughout…..Listen from front to back for maximum effect troopers..

“Sam Hill is an American English slang phrase, a euphemism or minced oath for “the devil” or “hell” personified (as in, “What in the Sam Hill is that?”). Etymologist Michael Quinion and others date the expression back to the late 1830s;[1][2] they and others[3] consider the expression to have been a simple bowdlerization, with, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, an unknown origin”.
SAM HILL is also the name of the BX rhyme slinger who spits in unique pockets, has a penchant for penning tales of inner city despair, and maintains a certain consistency with his material (IF ANYONE HAS A MP3 OF EXTREME WORDPLAY PLEASE SEND IT THROUGH)…
Head over to his Reverbnation spot to snatch up the “Sam I Am” compilation to start your Friday off correctly…
KOTB just released a new line under the moniker DIGGERS….If you are on the hunt to add more B Boy ammo to your wardrobe, I highly suggest that you check in..
“So here it is, I have created the DIGGERS Boot. No more corporate kicks for me. I will have to just wear what I got left in my collection. For my self I want to have some fun with product.
This is the sales pitch.. The boot costs £100, it comes with a DIGGERS BRANDED Sweat shirt only available with the boot plus a Diggers 45’. A breakbeat or groove dug out by yours truly and sometimes some very special guests. If that’s not a cosmic idea I don’t know what is”.
Whenever I hear a beat done on a SP-1200 I can tell instantly by the gritty 8 bit frequencies it gives off…Something about that machine makes my ears instantly perk up..
UK’s own M9 flips some intricate wordplay on lo-fi SP production from LOOP HOLES on “Colors”…Cop the vinyl pieces HERE….
A couple months back I read a interview where KRUMBSNATCHA stated that he had hung up his mic and he planned to retire from the booth….It appears as if he got his mojo back and he has a new joint out entitled “I Never Fail” with New Jerz beatsmith KEITH SCIENCE on the boards….FRESH.
