DJ Vinroc Beat Freaks Preview
I think I'm on my "late 90's turntablism" shit today. My copy of Sunglasses Is A Must came in, and I got an e-mail from Keelay about this Beat Freaks project from one of the illest turntablists ever, DJ Vinroc:Beat Freaks is a hodge podge of production work from the mind of Dj Vinroc. a collection of a simplistic collage of samples reinterpreted through a drum machine, Vinroc's influences and experience can be easily seen as that of a true fan of Hip Hop. A compilation of pre released, unheard, and never released tracks, Beat Freaks is intended for the true beat aficionado who can appreciate the grit, simplicity, and beauty of Hip hop music.
Here are a few samples from this disc:
He also sent a link to the following short film, documenting that making of "Believe":
Beat Freaks dropped on Jan. 14th, and is available on iTunes now!

[video] 13: Fear Is Real, Episode 1
My wife and stepdaughter had this on; this shit is essentially Saw x Survivor:
Old Money Live At The Apollo
Here's a recording of some ill spoken word from Old Money LIVE at The Apollo. Listening to this makes me wish I still wrote B2B had the balls to spit my shit in front of people.
50 Cent "I Get It In"
50 Cent "I Get It In" (prod. by Dr. Dre): Posting this purely because it's the mixed version that 50 spoke about last week. I'm still not thinking this is that joint that will elevate his status back to where he was, but the clubs will definitely rock to this one.Props to OnSMASH.
DJ Cable "Destiny's Pulse"
DJ Cable "Destiny's Pulse": Cable keeps the blends coming; this week, Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" gets the UK Garage/Grime workout atop Youngstar's "Pulse X". This shit has a nice knock to an already ill club banger. For those of you who want to check out DJ Cable pon di radio, his show "Free to Roam" on Safe Radio goes down this Sunday, 4PM - 6PM GMT; he'll be dropping Bmore, Grime, Fidget, Funky, Hip Hop, Dubstep and more, so be on the lookout for his show!related DJ Cable "Work It 'Til Infinity"

The Dope Enemy "Private Club"
The Dope Enemy ft. TQ, Shade Sheist & Mams Taylor "Private Club": Here's the fresh track from The Dope Enemy, aka Def Jam UK's DJ Fricktion. It looks like homey is on his grind right now, building on previous UK/Int'l props for his remixes of Diddy's "Come To Me" and Cassie's "Me & You", which was so hot Ryan Leslie was noted to vocally be on the hunt for dude on BBC's 1Xtra. Dude is already lining up remixes and collaborations that include tracks from Mams Taylor (ft. The Game & Lil' Kim), N.O.R.E., Rah Digga and others.

50 Cent "Play This On The Radio"
50 Cent "Play This On The Radio": I don't know what to think about 50's resurgence. He definitely seems like he has that Power Of The Dollar-like stee-lo back. Judging by the Shade45 interview from last week, 50 is back with guns blazing, and I want to write it off. I want to say "oh this is some publicity stunt bullshit", and just give it the remedial life tag, but I have to admit - I am very amused by 50's latest fire-breathing. "First they said that faggot hot/then they let that junkie shine"; what?!?! I guess this recession has everyone going back to the tools in '09...

Somobe ft. The Jake "Building (Feel This One Remix)"
Somobe ft. The Jake "Building (Feel This One Remix)": Sometimes, you just have to give it up for niggas who flip a collage of sounds into a hypnotic beat, and come thoro on the mic. This is that shit that reminds me of the days when UGHH on college radio was my life.thejakebeats.blogspot.com \ www.myspace.com/zzzzzj
Superstar L.T. ft. Freeway "Philly 2 Beantown"
Superstar L.T. ft. Freeway "Philly 2 Beantown": Here's a collabo between Philly's Freeway and Clinton Sparks' new artist, Superstar L.T..

Bonus Beats Superstar L.T. "Risk My Life" [clean / dirty]
Mos Def "Quiet Dog"
Mos Def "Quiet Dog": Shake says this is the 2nd single from Mos' forthcoming Ecstatic LP. I say I am feeling it. Sounds like a banger that took a trip to the juke joint. Nice swing in that beat, and Mos kicks it effortlessly.
Stones Throw Podcast 41
RAtheMC, Fred Knuxx, Balance & Wordsmith "Freestyle"
RAtheMC, Fred Knuxx, Balance & Wordsmith "Freestyle" (prod. by Judah): Props to Wordsmith for passing this fresh track to me. Looks like the new breed is a tight unit, and willing to go for broke. The Funkadelic Freestyles College Radio Semester Premiere is going down tonight (check out GW Radio from 8PM to 10PM), and features both Judah and RAtheMC, as well as And1's own Prime Objective. You see how Web 2.0 is bringing niggas together!?MP3 link swiped from Shake.
Soulja Boy "Big Faces"
Soulja Boy "Big Faces" (prod. by Cookin' Soul): Wow, talk about unexpected. Soulja Boy over some slick CS shit!? AND its on some futuristic old school shit? I love it. Not even mad at SB's remedial raps on this one. This can be found on that Tell 'Em TV mixtape, from DJ Woogie & Soulja Boy, which also features the CS-produced "Angel Girl".
Cy Yung "3 Little Pigs"
Cy Yung "3 Little Pigs" (prod. by Centric): Here's track #19 off that Back 2 Lyfe: The Return Of Greatness mixtape. I might need to get my son up on this rendition, he loves when I read Three Little Pigs to him.Watch out for Cy Yung's contribution to Offshore Drilling...
Katy Perry "I Kissed A Girl (J. Slikk Remix)"
Katy Perry ft. Cy Yung "I Kissed A Girl (J. Slikk Remix)": Slikk sent me an early version of this remix a few weeks ago, and I feel in love with the total 180 he gave the original. The original is all new school hedonism, while this one is a lot more seductive, more sensual and raw. Sounds like a version Katy would play in concert to flip the script. The homey Cy Yung goes in and imitates that processed vocal in a hilarious send-up. Some seriously great music here.Watch out for more from the BPA in 2009 - it's their year, definitely.
PS I love posting Katy Perry pics, b/c in the words of Tron, "Katy got some big ol' ti-ttays!".
JaY-OvA "U Gots Ta Chill"
JaY-OvA "U Gots Ta Chill": Here's a blend that the homey JaY-OvA sent over, dropping the acapella from T.I.'s "What You Know" over Michael Jackson's "Stranger In Moscow". You might be scratching your head, but trust - get a glass of that good 'gac, maybe put a bit of something in the air and cool out to this. Be on the lookout for his next mixtape as well!
Nas "Fear Of Mandingo"
Nas "Fear Of Mandingo" (prod. by Green Lantern): I dropped the mixtape this was heard on (DJ Degreez & Nas' El Dorado Black Project) over on BGDB, and I got an e-mail today with the No DJ version being dropped, and saw that Shake liberated it as well. Enjoy these!Bonus Beats Nas "Something Foul"
Coast 2 Coast Cypher #1
Lil' Fats ft. Sha Stimuli, Cymarshall Law, Add 2, Jusmula, Miz & St. Laz "Coast 2 Coast Cypher #1" (prod. by Young Asap): The beginning of 2009 marked the beginning of the Coast 2 Coast Cyphers from Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes. This first one is taken from the Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Vol. 63, which is set to drop later this week. Gotta love cyphers, right?

Will she be next on 50's hit list for this one?Props to OnSMASH.
PS Lil' Jon ruins the song when he gets on the mic. Save that for your club anthems, fam.

Tech Supreme I Luv 2 H8 U EP
Props to my homey Tech Supreme for starting out 2009 with a free EP of that Soul music. I say "Soul" because it's that shit that hits you deep in your core. From the post over on his blog, this EP is a "collection of songs dealing with a woman". Notice the title - this ain't no picnic. But those beats are FIRE, and he goes into some deep shit in this one.DOWNLOAD I Luv 2 H8 U EP \ myspace.com/techproductions
Take It Personal
I grew up reading. I was reading on my own at age 3, and when I got into something, I had to read all I can on it. So, between issues of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and WWF Magazine, I got consumed by magazines like Rap Pages, The Source and Vibe, with XXL to follow suit. So, whether directly or indirectly, I've followed Danyel Smith and Elliott Wilson's work for a while. If you don't know, they are a happily married couple, and have started their own podcast. And its the kind of shit that Hip-Hop nerds like myself are into: healthy conversation, keeping sure to balance both sides of the Hip-Hop spectrum (true school vs. what's poppin' now), as well as injecting that humor that's always necessary. It's not as bugged and testosterone-fueled as Juan Epstein, and I'm glad it's not. It's the kind of podcast I think I'd do if I had someone else to bullshit with.Here's episode one - if you love that, check out episode two, which just popped off.
Master 3 Light Up The Darkness Preview
The homey Master 3 has a new album on the horizon entitled Light Up The Darkness, which is loosely based on the events in the 2007 film I Am Legend. He hit me off with two tracks from this project, and asked that the wealth be shared:- "The Day Before Tomorrow" (prod. by RS)
- "Heroin Heroine"
