Scheme and DJ Scend - Two Turntables and a Mic : DJ Muggs Series

Scheme and DJ Scend return with another installment of their Two Turntables and a Mic series. I've definitely enjoyed this series so far. On the third installment they chose DJ Muggs from the legendary Soul Assassins. According to Scheme and DJ Scend this series will eventually become the Two Turntables and a Mic Mixtape. Dope. In the meantime enjoy this dope joint and look out for the video in a few weeks. Chea!

Interview: Miss Special x Skeme

This girl stays on her interview grind and I respect that. Salute Miss Special, always chopping it up with dope folks. This week had the opportunity to speak with Skeme again. They cover a range of topics. Enjoy the interview. Chea!

On Saturday night before his show at Brick & Mortar in SF I had the opportunity to interview Skeme again. We spoke about his favorite track on The Statement, working with K. Roosevelt on "Thanks God", "That Good" and "Ape Sh*t" all in one day. We also talked about The Statement 1.5 including features such as Erk Tha Jerk, ASAP Rocky and more, and going on tour with Strong Arm Steady for the Arms and Hammers Tour. Additionally, we spoke about new releases from the Sox Gang, why he chose to do "Krooked Montana" and releasing something from him and Cardo soon.

Hip-Hop Breakfast Ep 71

I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend (or Memorial Day as many on twitter confused the holiday with). Most of us had yesterday off and too many of us are back to the grind this Tuesday morning. Well, I'm not. I got an extra day. But I wouldn't leave you without some great music to rock to as you get ready for work, for your commute, at your desk or wherever. As always, I hope this helps kick start your week. Enjoy. Chea!

Dirt E. Dutch "Let It Go" featuring Kyle Rapps

Check out this new joint by Dirt E. Dutch featuring an MC Q and I bumped into a couple of years ago at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival. Sounds like he continued right where he left off on the mic. Read up on Dutch's upcoming release and then make sure you check out the record. Dope.

Wasting little time since his January release Hit the Dutchman,  and his May release with Infinito 2017, Without Permission, Dirt E. Dutch returns with his third collaborative LP of the year fittingly titled Bars Magica. This time he presents a handful of some of the most artful writers the underground has to offer. Combined with custom tailored soundscapes produced by the Dutchman, each song stands strong on its own. No soundbyte filler. No excessive chatter during beginning or end of the tracks. The beats and the lyrics weave a spell powerful enough to keep the listener charmed throughout. Featured appearances from Kyle Rapps, Breez Evahflowin, Rabbi Darkside, Atari Blitzkrieg and more. Bars Magica will be available digitally September 13^th, and physically September 20^th, 2011.

Track list:

1. Let It Go ft. Kyle Rapps
2. Who Figured ft. Roc Doogie
3. Yesterday Is For Suckers ft. Sketch Tha Cataclysm
4. Programmed Slaves (Redux) ft. Infinito 2017
5. Fire To The Frost ft. Atari Blitzkrieg
6. We Can't Lose ft. Doron Lev
7. Nowhere Fast ft. Rabbi Darkside, Core Rhythm
8. Together ft. Hawl Digg, Dutchman, Breez Evahflowin
9. Status Quo ft. Super King Armor, Tah Phrum Duh Bush
10. Finish Lines ft. Breez Evahflowin

What I'm Watching: Emilio Rojas "Breaking Point"

Emilio Rojas, "Breaking Point" from Erojasmanagement on Vimeo.


Emilio Rojas is that dude. I remember when I first heard this track a few weeks back. I was moved by the solid production and Emilio's strong verses. But then again he always delivers lyrically. The video shot while on tour out in Europe is fresh. Like I said, Emilio Rojas is that dude. Don't sleep. Enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching - Uptown XO - "Tol' You So" featuring Diamond District + Download "Uptown XO - Monumental 2" (Free)

What happens when you get these same cats together flowing over beats like this?! You should already know the answer to that, that's what you get. This track met the repeat button about 5 times as I was posting this. Come to find out, XO released the album with this track a few days ago for FREE?!?! Yeah. I jumped on that. So do yourself a favor and get it. Now!!! Haha.

Side note: I keep telling heads how ill Oddisee is but some still ain't listening. "Had the bank tellers looking like strippers / countin' 500 in 5s so yeah I had to tip her..."



Get the whole album for free!
