RTD Presents The Magic Number

I told you guys yesterday I was going to drop a compilation on you, and here it is. Putting this together was fun, and I tried to showcase what I feel to be true "rock the dub" type tracks, which are both new to you (and me), as well as tracks that I've featured over the last three years. 21 cuts in total, 24 including the intro/interlude/outro... and all for you. ENJOY!

DOWNLOAD

Tracklist:

01/Intro MF Doom instrumentals X 911 calls regarding chicken nuggets = golden!
02/The Paxtons "4321" The Paxtons hit me with this yesterday, and I get geeked over heads who flip samples in interesting ways. Definitely my jam of the week.
03/Whygee ft. DJ brikAbrak "Henny Hendrix" (prod. by 184 Productions) You should already be up on Whygee; he had no home for this, so I was more than happy to oblige in putting this one on this compilation. Dude has even more coming through RTD - keep it locked!
04/F.A.M.E. "The Update" (prod. by D Hype & P) I had this one sitting around, waiting for a NJ Hip-Hop-specific compilation that I still want to do. Had to let it loose, though - dude is ill on the mic.
05/Big S.I.N "Good Girl Gone Bad" Here's the single from S.I.N's forthcoming Mad Man Music album. He needs a woman who's strong like Rosa Parks. Holla.
06/Cy Yung ft. Sharp "Retropolitan" (prod. by J-Rell) I was going through a grip of tracks Cy hit me with, for a compilation that's forthcoming on RTD, and this one stood out to me IMMEDIATELY. That beat has that knock.
07/Sean Wyze "L.A." (prod. by Jansport J) This has been my joint since I dropped it, and I never been off the East Coast. Good Saturday morning wake-up track.
08/Burt Fox & El Juba "The Jungle" You should remember this from disc 2 of The Lighthouse Project; one of my favorite joints from last year, had to bring it back.
09/MAGr "Buttafly" (prod. by Hudson Mohawke) Just had a nice feel, going out of "The Jungle" into this. MAGr should be on the tips of everyone's lips this year...
10/J. Steele "WARNING!" I got sent this last night; shouts to Camden, NJ's Urban Hill crew. This just has a hype feel to it. I hope to bring you more of their cuts in the future.
11/SuperJail "?" This has not left rotation for a bit. True RTD stylie.
12/Interlude
13/8thW1 "Sound Quality Convo" (prod. by Mentplus) Dude's a dope artist, and I'm not saying that b/c he shouted me out. But that helps.
14/Elucid "Automatic Writing" (prod. by AEON) Still my favorite joint off Police & Thieves; Elucid has some fire waiting in the wings for you niggas. Trust we.
15/City Slickers "Hurry Up & Wait" (prod. by NellyProTools & Capital J) Another joint I just got today; I believe I've been passed a few joints from these guys - really impressed with their tracks. Keep an eye peeled for them. Shouts to G Valentino.
16/Youngs ft. Light "Brand New Bag" (prod. by Jansport J) J hit me with this last night; been sitting on this one for no good reason. I have a remix he did coming soon... will probably drop it later this week.
17/Master 3 "Never Come Down" 3 has been an interesting cat; if you slept on his last project, go get a late pass. He's got the gift - love to see where he goes with it.
18/A.G. "Where I'm From" I only knew of A.G. from her appearance on Barak Yalad's album; her family hit me up about her unfortunate passing, and sent me a batch of tracks. Here she is speaking about her life to the classic Jay-Z banger.
19/The Rapture "Must Be (Feenin')" I posted Hellz Yea! rippin' "Must Be Love" last week, and now here's The (Muthafuckin') Rapture's massacre. I love how he flipped the idea. Keep it locked for more from him, as well!
20/Sugar Tongue Slim "Next Levels Freestyle" Definitely the first time RTD was shouted out on a record. And over some DOOM? Who could ask for anything more... DEMAND IT!
21/Articulate "B-Town" Artic went in over this fire Bmore cut to expound on his city. I hope to do some project(s) with him before the year is out.
22/Rukus "Kill A Man" Dude loved Manic's "Killers Theme '08" so much, he decided to turn it over on its ear, and figure out WHY a man should be killed. Loved the execution!
23/Lil' Jon ft. Ying Yang Twins "Get Low (Nappy's J Dilla Blend)" One of those many remixes Nappy did that I'm sitting on. I could see this one causing a ruckus (no pun intended) in a dancehall. Fire material.
24/Outro

So there's the long and short of it. Shouts to all of the readers who send me e-mails, hit me on twitter, post my links and just continue to check the site and support what I'm doing. Big up to all of the MCs, producers, DJs, label heads and A&Rs who hit me with new material on the regular - keep it up. Shouts to wifey and the kids for putting up with me branding everything with RTD. Shouts to my friends like Enigmatik, Andrew FSD, Dallas Penn, Rafi and others - cats who've built with me, joked with me and helped me flesh out my craft. Its very much appreciated.

Let's have a good day - and enjoy this compilation!

The Deal Dub, Episode 6

Deal hit me with this last night, but I was off in my own land, so it comes today. On the celebration of RTD's three year stand, Deal and C.I.O.N. kick the ballistics about people getting into their own way. It's some shit that many of you need to really think about, as we all try to strive and prosper in your own respective fields.

Very interesting piece, can't wait for the whole project, myself.

RTD Turning 3

Tomorrow, rock the dub turns 3 years old. It's been a crazy 3 years - I've gotten opportunities to do things (podcasts I neglect, digital labels, etc.), made a slew of friends, be they peers in the blogging world, heads who just feel the same way or artists who I admire. I figure I should give back, but I'm going to keep it kind of lowkey, so I'll be doing some kind of compilation tonight. I'll be including tracks that reference my blog (all 2, 3 of them), tracks I've dug from people I consider "Rock The Dub All-Stars", and some unreleased/exclusives (a few, maybe).

Any MCs/producers who want to hook me up with some tracks, get at me ASAP. Send an e-mail to khaldub@gmail.com with a link or just attach the file. I'm game. I'll let you know if I'll include it or not.

Speak soon!

The Paxtons "4321"

The Paxtons "4321": Here's an exclusive, skraight from Paxton Avenue. This cut, with its sly Boyz II Men sample, will not be found on their forthcoming album, but rocks nonetheless.

Their album, Work, is set to drop Summer '09, featuring production from the Paxtons themselves, as well as some of DC's rising stars. I'm waiting on the sampler; keep it locked! Shouts to my homey Mr. Garr for the heads up!

El Michels Affair Enter The 37th Chamber

If you're a fan of the Wu-Tang Clan, I imagine that you've heard the El Michels Affair's interpolations on classic Wu-bangers, like "CREAM". You've also heard their work on projects like Adele's 19 album (they produced "Right As Rain"), the horn that was flipped in Jay-Z's "Roc Boys" and have also done work on Saigon's The Greatest Story Never Told LP with Just Blaze.

On April 21st, Truth & Soul/Fat Beats will be dropping Enter The 37th Chamber, a collection of the El Michels Affair's Wu-covers, including "Cream", "Can It All Be So Simple", "Protect Ya Neck", "Cherchez La Ghost" and "Incarcerated Scarfaces"; for those who remember, Truth & Soul dropped a 7" with their versions of "CREAM" and "Bring Da Ruckus" a bit ago, and should know what's up. Keep an eye peeled for this one when it drops.

Black Spade vs Charles Hamilton

Happy Sunday. Woke up from a sinus med/Olde English induced coma to read an e-mail that was forwarded to me by a good homey. Looks like this year's SXSW has produced a claim of plagiarism on one of the Internets favorite artists, Charles Hamilton. I'd try and paraphrase it, but it makes more sense to just copy and paste, so here's the straight shoot from the mouth of Black Spade:

Yo! So this is the beat Charles Hamilton CLAIMS he created. In short, when I was in Austin to perform and check out SxSW, I caught his set. He performed one of his tracks, "Shinin'", which I thought was dope. However, come to find out the instrumental that he used for that track is a beat I produced a while back. After he was done performing, I let him know that I produced the beat and asked him where he got it from. In the back of my mind I know that the only place he really could have gotten it from was off my MySpace page. When I told him I produced the track and liked his lyrics, he still continued to say that HE produced the track with some dude....FALSE. He said he cleared the sample and that he is the one singing 'Shinin' in the background and also that his homeboy was playing the keys on the track.

Now mind you, the background 'Shinin' vocals that he claims he laid were not laid in the studio at all. I know this because I sampled them by singing directly into the MPC.

Basically, the Frankie Beverly & Maze sample at the beginning is from when I put the beat up on MySpace. The whole point of putting that part in the track was to show that I was about to produce, from that part, my own version of the sample. So, if you don't hear the Frankie Beverly & Maze sample in the MP3 I am sending you, that is why.

Sounds interesting, right? Now, do a side-by-side comparison of the tracks; first, Black Spade's "Shining":



And now, Charles Hamilton's "Shinin'":




Sounds a bit similar, right? Now, what say you - did Hamilton jack a beat?

EDIT Looks like C. Hamilton commented on this incident over on Fresh Selects. Black Spade, what say you?

Redman x Scion AV "I Hold The Crown" Remixes

I'm slightly on tilt from this 40, but if I was smoking trees, I'd look like Redman in the above pic. Seeing as its Saturday night, I figured why not throw some club music out to the massive. Redman and Scion A/V teamed up for their latest remix project; his "I Hold The Crown" has been twisted and ran through many processors, producing a crazy trip for the heads out there who can't get enough. Check out these three remixes, get the party started right.

Drop It Like It's Hot

I'm battling a bit of a cold right now, and they always say you should force fluids... so I went to the liquor store after putting my son down for the night and copped a 40 of Olde English, because in these recession-plagued times, nothing beats a night of malt liquor for under $3.

As I left the spot, I saw this parked car with a chick blasting Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up". You remember this late '90s ode to thick booties, right?



Now, I'm not posting this to throw this soundtrack to Cash Money malarky just for sport; I started thinking of those Cash Money/Ruff Ryders tours from around that time, and seeing those ho's shaking their asses in packed stadiums, like so:



I love how most niggas will be drinking water during the shoes - nah, Cash Money Millionaires had full plastic cups of they favorite brews. You gotta love ignorance on a bankroll. Those Clinton years were SERIOUS for the Hip-Hop ballers, weren't they?

Word is this was made during the American Gangster sessions, but was never a Hov track - it was a demo for Diddy; it was just the first time Jigga dealt with Sean C & LV.

DJ Class ft. Kanye West "I'm The Shit (Remix)"

DJ Class ft. Kanye West "I'm The Shit (Remix)": Looks like that Bmore shit is catchin' wreck in the Hip-Hop blogosphere... well, not really. But when Kanye jumps on anything, its an event... right? I hit you with the Lil Jon-assisted remix, as well as the MIMS remix that Class jumped on, so I figured I might as well keep it moving. Good joint to throw on when you leave work on Friday afternoons. And hey, MissInfo loves it, too!

Props to Tiff at Brash PR for the 320kbps MP3!

Honestly, I got put on to Juan Epstein late (around the Latarian episode), and went back and grabbed every single episode, and listen to them on the regular. And while I love when they have guests (niggas like NORE, Fat Joe, Pete Rock, etc.), my personal favorites always involve Cipha Sounds & Peter Rosenberg just talkin' shit. This is one of those eps.

Killah Priest The Eternal Thought of Killah Priest II

Damn druids love leaving treats on my doorstep. Here's the second Eternal Thought of Killah Priest EP to drop on RTD. Killah Priest was always one of my favorite Wu-Tang associates... remember his verse from "4th Chamber"? Tracks you need on this: "Essential" is just that; "Psychonistary Mystic Breath" is some abstract thinkin'; "I'm Back Again" is a dope "welcome back" joint. This whole thing is fresh.

Peace to the hooded druids with leaky faucets.

RTDLTD001

One of the things I've always wanted to do was start up a label. I got the idea to start a digital imprint on my own because, realistically, I fuck with MP3s more than I do compact discs, and I imagine loads of heads are like me. My initial idea blossomed (with the help of the homey Jeryl), and now the first imprint of mine, RTDLTD, has just dropped its first release (distributed by the good folks over at Nu Urban Music)...

RTDLTD001
digital distribution via NUM

AA) Noah D "Mash Down"

Pure ragga-DnB vibes. I was trying to get Noah D linked up with another label, and it didn't come to fruition. Dude has TUNES, and I'm damn lucky to have gotten these been given these beats to release. I urge you to take a gander at those clips, and if you're feeling, cop the beats over at Nu Urban Music, iTunes, DNBA or from Digital Tunes ASAP. Support this release, I guarantee I'll have more fresh DnB (and other genres) out there for you. I've been working on a podcast to go along with this, should be ready very soon...

Shouts to Uriela for the wicked cover art. Any producers and artists trying to get tunes to me, hit me via e-mail or drop some beats into my SoundCloud dropbox.
EDIT Looks like "Mash Down" is #11 on Nu Urban Music's DnB MP3 Chart! Keep it climbin'!

A few weeks back I put up this post about some beats I was clearing out to sell. Well some tracks have been added to the list (and some have been removed because of purchases), and I also thought it would be a good idea to just put together a little beat tape for those who wanted to download and check out later. All beats are available on the tape (as of 3/22/09 1:45 p.m.) but I'm betting it won't stay that way for too long so don't hold out!

DJ WM - Rock The Dub Mixtape (03/2009)

A few Saturdays ago, I was on twitter, essentially asking "where the DJs at!!??"... I am prone to fuck with a sick mix over a dope album when I'm on my way to work, and haven't heard fresh shit from new DJs. I had a few cats hit me back about this idea I had, and right now, only one has hit me up with a finished mix. This is that mix...

DJ WM represents the UK, and is a phenom on the decks. At only 17 years old, homey has already won heaps of praise and awards, including being considered one of the UK's best Hip-Hop and R&B DJs. Dude started out DJing young, getting his skills showcased on a number of pirate UK radio stations by the age of 13. He was London's CK One champion in November 2007 (being the youngest DJ to hold that title), and was voted "Best Young DJ Of The Year" at age 16. He packs a bag full of tricks, cuts and scratches, but also has an airtight selection of the freshest tracks available. Don't believe me? Check it...

priors

rock the dub turns 3 at the end of this month, and I figured it made sense to highlight some of the work I did prior to RTD. So, if you head on over to priors.rockthedub.com, you will be able to see some of the work I did, primarily for The Flow, a defunct online magazine that I wrote interviews, reviews and (some) poetry for. It folded, and I started rock the dub, but that's another story.

Right now, I just threw up an interview I did with J Period back in 2005. I was lucky to get that - I've never done phone interviews before, and he was nice enough to complete this one via e-mail. I think it came out ill, but I also think my chops have gone up a bit since then. Harshest critic on my own work, I know. Enjoy it, and keep checking back for more material from my vaults.
