DJ J-Ronin and DJ Snips - All Elements Freestyle Files Vol.1

One of NY's busiest and best new mixtape DJ's J-Ronin returns to the scene with yet another crafty release with his "All Elements Freestyle Files Vol.1".

Today the vast majority of big name mixtape DJ's are little more than just idiot ass loudmouths who scream their stage names all over tracks and sloppily throw tapes together on a whim.....Far too many of them ignore the mixtape's glorious past traditions of being innovative and developing a dope presence/persona....

Ronin isn't included in this new cast of knuckleheads.....His tactics since day one gave cue's to a different time and show that he was classically schooled. His "All Elements" mixtape series being primary evidence.

While we have heaps of new CDJ's that try their hardest to be like Whoo Kid, Ronin spearheads a movement that shows guys that grew up with names like Ron G, Kid Capri, Mr. Cee, Tony Touch, PF Cuttin, Doo Wop and many others still uphold what was started back in the 90's.....

It should come as no surprise then that one of the aforementioned DJ's signature technique's is the inspiration behind Ronin's new offering "All Elements Freestyle Files Vol.1".....

Back in the day, Bronx bred DJ Doo Wop carved out his own special place in Hip-Hop history with his "95 Live" mixes and really many of his mixes in general, by revolutionizing the "exclusive freestyle". Often Wop would invite over some of NYC's leading MC's to record songs and freestyles rather than just playing material that was previously recorded and circulating. He put these freestyle sessions on his tapes and viola! He was that dude that couldn't be fucked with. Not to get off topic either, but those freestyles also exsposed that Wop was endowed with more than just talent as a DJ...he was actually pretty damn nifty as an MC too...

By putting these freestyles on his tapes Wop was able to scoop up so many thirsty Hip-Hop heads who craved for new music from their favorite names on a more regular basis. We got to hear cats that we loved like Busta Rhymes spazzing over someone else's dope beat and straight abusing it! It was like getting to hear something that was just so select choice. It was for real rap fans that couldn't get enough.

So here we are, more than a decade after Wop first started hooking up his exclusive freestyles and Brooklyn represenative DJ J-Ronin, known for putting out tapes filled with hardcore super-lyricists and the best new singles out, has followed in the riteous path to Mixtape DJ immortality by simply adhearing to quality methods. "All Elements Freestyle Files Vol.1" is filled with exclusive music that Ronin recorded while artists slid through his spot and my response is nothing short of the same magic felt back when Wop blesses his audiences with his secret stash.

First off, it's just fucking cool to be able to say "yeah, I know that man Thirstin Howl, he slid through my spot the other day while we were working on some stuff and recorded a freestyle."..LOL, and J-Ronin can say that about not only Thirstin, but Planet Asia, Ill Bill, Teflon, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Sav Killz, Poison Pen, Akir, Donny Goines and so forth....DJ Snips gets the special honor of being able to say that some of these undeniably special artists rhymed over his beats, which BTW are top notch and deserving of such.

It's funny that in some circles the "freestyle" is considered a thing of the past and not as desired as pre-written or previously rehersed music...To that I must direct people to this tape. It's a great example of how you can take time honored techniques and make them ill again with the right direction....Once again Ronin delivers for real heads in a way that we truly understand....

Gets a 8 outta 10....
