Hip-Hop Breakfast Ep 89

I couldn't think of any other way to start this EP but with a Heavy D track. Thanks to Statik Selektah for serving up the fresh Nothin' But Love/T.R.O.Y. blend. Heavy D’s music meant a lot to my early Hip-Hop years. He was one of my early favorites. So, I had to set off EP 89 with the Overweight Lover. Also on this EP of music featured on RefinedHype and DJBooth this week is the new cut from ScienZe, the killer track from DMP and a track from Slim The Mobster's new project that dropped over at DJBooth this week ... and a lot of other dope stuff in between. Hit play and enjoy. And as always, I hope this EP helps kick off your weekend. Chea!

01. Heavy D - Nothin' But Love (Statik Selektah T.R.O.Y. Blend/Remix)
02. ScienZe - Play by Play 3.0

What I'm Watching: The Cranberry Show - Paranormal Karaoke (1.1.12)

I typically stay away from trailers for projects but when they're creative I almost feel obligated to share. Milwaukee's The Cranberry Show dropped a trailer for their upcoming project Paranormal Karaoke due out January 1, 2012. Like I said, I dig a creative approach and TCS always delivers up fresh projects. Looking forward to the new work at the top of the year.

Sizemen Vs. John Graham "Veterans Of Foreign Wars"

"John Graham's crazy quick whitty and smooth lyrics and flow, over French producer Sizemen super dope, african beat. Press play and enjoy the dopeness of this international collab..." -Word Is Bond

Soldiers in the armed forces and rhyme, John Graham salutes you. About a week ago Graham reached out to me for the artwork on this Sizemen produced track presented by Word Is Bond as a part of their Versus series. In order to really get my creative process going, I need to hear the music for which I am designing art. Once the track began and Graham started to rhyme, I was captivated. I knew this cut was a winner. After a second listen I knocked out two potential covers in just about 20 minutes. I gave it a third listen to make sure the art got the point. I really dig the track. I hope you enjoy it too. Press play. Chea!
