Random Tracks of Flyness

Years back, when I realized I had no time or money to be a DJ, I started making these odd mixes using old software. I guess I woke up this morning with a song (well, a bunch of songs) on my heart and decided to churn this out. There's lots of radio static, a bunch of random sounds and sketches that might only be funny/clever to me, but this also represents a bunch of material I dug during that timeframe of not making rockthedub radio mixes. #shrug.

Featured artists include Elucid, Pusha T, Westside Gunn, DJ Paypal, DJ Manny, Wen, 03 Greedo, and others. It's also the first time using hearthis.at, which allows you to not only upload shit, but give it away. Trying to figure my life out with this. Stream and download the demo; tracklist is below.

Juan Epstein Remembers Patrice O'Neal

Juan Epstein (2/03/2015)

Kind of crazy that it took all this time (like seven years?), but Juan Epstein has jumped into the podcast game proper and got a sponsor. They break down the insanity since their previous episode, and so much more.

The Combat Jack Show: The J Dilla Episode

This was recorded before this past Sunday's NY Dilla Tribute, but if you fuck with Dilla, you need to listen to this. "In the episode we have none other than Ma Dukes, mother of the late great J. Dilla. She's joined by Brooklyn's own Talib Kweli. We learn about J. Dilla and his posthumous legacy, his impact on hip hop culture, The J. Dilla Foundation and more.

We also find out about Talib's new album, why Jean Grae doesn't fuxs with him right now and why he doesn't like doing interviews anymore. #DillaLives"

The Combat Jack Show: Russell Simmons

Via TheCombatJackShow: "The Godfather of this whole damb thing, Rush broke bread reflecting on his time as a gang member, small time drug dealer, how Hip Hop saved his life, why DJ Hollywood should be remembered in the rap history books, why Diddy is the man he his today, Rick Rubin, Lyor Cohen, Dame Dash, how he’s not hung up on the word “nigga”…. so much covered that we had to end it with a lesson in meditation, literally. I’ve seen a lot in my life, but I never thought I’d see the day when a real life rap yogi would be walking us down memory lane. Please run cop Russell’s new book “Success Through Stillness: Meditation Made Simple” co-written by our very own Chris Morrow here."

The Combat Jack Show: The Sauce Money Episode

Via TheCombatJackShow: "One of my favorite interviews with one of the original Roc boys. Sauce talks growing up in the Marcy projects sandbox with childhood friend Jay Z, how Jay influenced him to start rapping. How he ghost wrote the Grammy winning "I'll Be Missing You" for Diddy. He also gets personal about his struggle with weight loss, his issues with Jaz-O, how he was managed by Big Daddy Kane and why he stopped effin with Dame Dash. I also talk about why Steve Stoute might not be fuxin with me too tough."

Two Combat Jack Shows featuring Jean Grae

Been falling behind, post-wise, but I have my reason(s). Combat Jack never stops, and has been churning out a grip of episodes. The latest both feature Jean Grae (aka the MC FKA WhatWhat). As you can see from Theotis Jones' showbill, one features the legendary Bobbito Garcia, while the most recently-released episode features Tanya Morgan's Donwill. If you're stuck at the j-o, just run these back-to-back, then catch-up on episodes you've missed.

The Combat Jack Show: The Rap Genius Episode Part Deaux

Via TheCombatJackShow: "Its a New Year and Dallas Penn doesn’t show up because he’s not effn with Rap Genius. Is it because they’re perpetual douche bags? Is it because they got a slap on the wrist from Google after they cooked their SEO books? Who the fux are these guys and why do they continue to piss the rap and tech and business world off? After getting through mad bullshit, we finally get some candid talk from these #Fuckybergs."

They also speak on Hot 97 and share some choice words for program director Ebro Darden.
