Live Stream/Mix Show: The Underworld Hip Hop Show Hosted By DJ G.I. Joe

For years now I've been a big time fan of Immortal Technique and one of the great things about an artist like Tech is that if you mess with his music long enough chances are you'll become a fan of a host of other really ill underground emcees. This is due to the fact that he always collaborates with cats that are aesthetically and musically about the same shit as him. From Akir to Diabolic, Big Zoo to Swave Sevah, I've discovered many a dope, new artist through Tech's music. One cat that I did ignorantly overlook for a lil' bit in the beginning when it came to Technique however was his DJ....That would be G.I. Joe, a one time B-Boy turned DJ, that has been gettin down next to Tech for years now and is the proud creator of the much admired "Underworld" mixtape series with Massachusetts DJ heavyweight, DP One. Not only is Joe mad skilled on the 1's and 2's he's also got a pretty keen ear for dope underground and hardcore music.....a true "DJ" forged through many years of grinding, practice and a genuine love for true Hip-Hop.

In the spirit of showing off that "good" ear and his non-stop work ethic, G.I. Joe has begun a live streaming show that goes by the same name of his popular mixtape series. The Underworld Hip-Hop Show is a daily live stream that you can catch on the link below, that features Joe in his Kitchen from 9-11 PM EST spinning and spotlighting everything from exclusive tracks, freestyles and guest appearances. Sometimes he even goes in during the day and spins other genres of music too, like Raggae or funk breaks so don't sleep.....

Tonight was the first time I actually got to check out the show and I thought it was really a thing of great beauty....G.I. Joe was spinning and mixing a grip of Immortal Technique's newer joints with a bunch of classic jumpoffs from the 90's that included classic's from Leaders Of The New School, Greg Nice, Cypress Hill, Brand Nubian, M.O.P. and Shyhiem to name a small few....

I'm definitely gonna be peepin' this stream out regularly and I highly recommend everyone else that just misses dope DJing and live sets to give it a gander....
