Planet Asia- Still In Training

Today I bring you the often overlooked Planet Asia album "Still In Training" that I always found to be one of his most balanced and well thought out Lp's ever. I love the production on this joint, the samples are most def. top notch. Ranging from Very dusty and eclectic to organic and soulful, the production on this joint is a highlight for any fan of that beautiful, vintage boom bap sound. There's a healthy dose of scratching on this record as well, and it comes courtesy of some of the best in the game. DJing legends Mista Sinista and DJ Revolution lend some cuts to one of the busiest and best west coast MC's out there and really add some depth to his album. Planet Asia dropped this record in 2002 and it's amazing how a lot of the subject matter is still very relevant. Planet Asia warns all the rude boy wanna be's to steer clear of the vices that the streets promote on "Me Nuh Lef It", and then turns around and reflects on the organic nature of his music and life in the soul drenched "Doin What We Do" and even drops a bonus remix of the same cut at the end of the album that is just as effective. There's a ton of great material on this to talk about but the obvious highlight tracks are the moody, Piano riff driven "Fresno State Of Mind", The Quasi melodic, G-Funkish' "Rock The Mic" and the resonant, politically charged "Keep Movin'". Definitely download this and then go buy it, If you can find a copy (this one can be a little elusive in stores), "Still In Training" is one of Planet Asia's many overlooked masterpieces.

Video: DJ Muggs Vs. Sick Jacken ft. Cynic- Land Of Shadows

This joint is a true morbid masterpiece that Rob Zombie himself would be proud of. This stark look at what happens in "The Land Of Shadows" after we die is brought to us by Sick Jacken the verbally gifted, L.A. based MC, who sends chills up ya spine with grim verses. The imagery in this video is spectacular, I especially liked the old automobiles that they used, that was a nice touch. Check this out, and if you haven't already, check out that Muggs Vs. Sick Jacken album, it's equally as dope.

Video: Hi-Tek Feat. PUSH! Montana - Kill You

New joint from the widely respected beatsmith Hi-Tek featuring one of NY's up and coming rhyme artist's Push! Montana. I first heard Push! a while back in the freestyle circuit, he's a worthwhile artist and this joint rite here was one of the better cuts from Hi-Tek's newest album Hi Teknology 3. Sal green directed this and he put together a really good, minimalistic type vid that really gave Push! a chance to tell the story without distractions. And it is a great story telling joint. This is a good resume buffer for both Push! and Hi-Tek, good stuff.

Video: Talib Kweli- Hostile Gospel

This joint right here is truly dope, visually and conceptually it's just really really a great look from one of my favorite MC's Talib Kweli. It's shot mainly in Lagos, Nigeria, a dazzling back drop and visually tentalizing for anyone, hip-hop fan or not. Please stop and take some time to peep this joint it's a great song and it has a dope "outside the box" type video to accompany it, a rare combination for any idea in music that you don't usually come up on in the hip-hop genre anymore. Thank god for Kweli and his Hostile Gospel.

Smoothe Da Hustler- Violenttimes Day

Smooth Da Hustler is back hittin us with some new shit. I've always been a fan of Nexx Level Click stuff and when I saw this I had to put it up for ya'll man.

Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about this release and I'm actually kinda late gettin up on it because I guess it was released in Feb. and here it is the end of March and I'm just now gettin up on it. Anyway, I know the quality of the shit that Smoothe puts out and I'm sure this won't disappoint.

Little Vic- Each Dawn I Die

Little Vic has been on my radar ever since he dropped that dope ass "The Exorcist" single with DJ Premier a couple years ago. Since then he's kinda been a little inconsistent with keeping that well deserved buzz alive. He drops this new joint "Each Dawn I Die" that I can assure you makes up for his somewhat lost time. I knew the kid had to be special if Premier was gonna take a chance on him, Premo stopped messing with average MC's when he let Big Shug into the Gangstarr Foundation Crew. The cover is already one of my favorites; loaded with intricacies and reminiscent of a 1950's newspaper it quickly grabbed my eye. The music on this joint quickly grabbed my ear. Little Vic was already a dope MC, he doesen't need much to enhance his music, but when he does have the right production it only makes it that much better. Enlisting the help of mostly no name producers Little Vic wields his usual messages of tough and rugged street life. The aforementioned "The Exorcist" is featured on here as well as the standout track "The Evil That Men Do" produced by another legend, D.I.T.C.'s own Buckwild, but after that the list of big names pretty much desenegrates. I really respect any solid MC that comes in and stands on his own two and gives a few up and coming beatsmiths the chance to rock on his project. This joint is a great stepping stone for Little Vic, who is following in line with a relatively short list of Italian American rappers who were worthwhile and co-signed by established artists. JoJo Pellegrino, Johnny Blanco, Genovese and Don Scavone and thats it man...that's it. Short but very skilled man, very skilled. I personally think that Little Vic is very much in the same vein as Don Scavone content wise, minus the aggresion. Any 12" fanatic knows that's high praise. Little Vic definitely excites on "Each Dawn I Die" and he definitely takes you back to a time when hip-hop was a lot more serious. I sincerely hope the kid keeps putting out new stuff.

J-Love- Acknowledge The Takeover pt. 2

J-love delivers the second installment of his "Acknowledge the Takeover" mixtape series, after the first one proved he was still putting together tapes according to his mantra of "playing whatever the fuck he wants to". His tried and true formula of giving us all the hottest, underground, east coast singles that typically elude most of Hot 97 and Powr 105's playlists is once again on full display here. J-Love brings the kids a heap of really great tracks that I think are being unjustly ignored right now, namely the intensly good "2 For The Money" feat. OC and AG, the head shot diss toward their former leader "Moment of Truth" which features Cuban Link, Remy Martin and Triple Seis and the insane solo cut from Billy Danze "Savages"....yeah, this tape is just about the best to drop in months as far as the content goes. J-Love is always good about providing variety on his tapes as well, making sure to hit his fans and mixtape fans in general wit some of his work as well. Yep, the usual presence of his trademark Intro beat is on here as well as a couple new joints from him where we find J-Love rhyming ("The World Is Mine" & "300") and showing some real improvement. On "300" the super duo of Killa Sha and Meyhem assist J-Love in making one of the illest tracks on the whole tape! Lemme be one of the first to say that J-Love's team; The Outdoorsmen...they are fuckin sick. The only small few drawbacks to this tape are the ubiqutious inclusion of 50 Cent's latest radio appeal "Mechanic", a random joint from that clown Rick Ross (SMH, why'd you do it J??) and the lack of any new J-Love production. Other than that this tape is dope as shit, as usual. Be sure to check out the rare Nas joint "Curse" and the "Wasting Time No More" joint from ODB, that is pretty new to me and ill as shit.

Focus- Dedicated

This is a really ill look from Aftermath records rite here man. Recently they put up in house producer Focus's debut album "Dedicated" for free download on their website. That's right, the machine is giving away free music now. Ironically the music they're giving away should be the music they try and sell. This is a dope lil' album that Focus put together and produced entirely...gots joints featuring Stat Quo, Busta Rhymes & Bshop Lamont, Littler Brother, Raphael Saadiq, Chino XL and DJ Revolution. Not only is Focus pretty decent on the boards (especially if your into quasi Dr. Dre soundin stuff) he can carry a rhyme or two....all in all this a real good look, basically your getting a brand new artist's debut album for free.

Video: Krs-One- Criminal Minded 08'

The Teacher hits us with some new shit! This is wassup man, vid is real minimal, but still very engaging. That red tint that they use throughout is a nice touch, don't know who directed this, but they get props for that. Mainly the focus of this joint is just real hip-hop; Kris spittin' and Premo cuttin on records are pretty much the subject matter. Another great joint for Hip-Hop....although I was a lil' put off by the Smirnoff Vodka ad placement at the end there (gotta get the budget money somehow) lol, still a dope look, I'll never complain about Kris and Premo gettin together to do stuff...Kris don't sell out tho!! I heard about the Nike deal too!! Well anyway this is ill check it out, Premo also produced this.

DJ Soul Presents....Tanya Morgan Is A Rap Group

For a long time now one of my favorite underground groups has been Tanya Morgan. Often when I would mention them to my peoples they would ask me to repeat the name a few times, lol. Making light of their somewhat curious name in the title of this new mixtape is Tanya Morgan, collectively. Comprised of Donwill, Ilyas (Cincinatti, OH) and producer Von Pea (Brooklyn, NY) Hip-Hop's newest concious rappers team with DJ Soul to showcase some of their best stuff reworked for the new year and a few goodies you haven't heard yet. In this creative take on their "so far, so good" career's they supply you with among other things a new persepective. Their music is uncontrived, soul and drum driven reality based hip-hop. These guys have talent beaming thru their solicitous verses and have already won just about every serious "new talent" type of rap contest the western hemisphere has to offer. The bottom line with Tanya Morgan is this; They make really worthwhile music for thoughtful listeners. So why are they wasting their time with the current state of hip-hop? Well, one would debate that they are hip-hop fan's exclusively. Their fanbase has got to be one of the most diverse since De La Soul first started using flower power to sell their records. Truly, it's also something that has continued to fascinate me as well. Just the other day I saw some Cazzelle glasses wearin', wool jacket sportin, Jew fro havin', Italian boot stompin', Silk scarf draping, quasi intellectual type of cat walkin out the record Store with Tanya Morgan's first Lp "Moonlighting" underneath his arm. Under the "Moonlighting" record was about two or three alternative rock group records. That was my proof in the pudding. These guys are doing what some of Hip-Hop's most progressive groups did in the 90's. They were managing to reel in fans of other genres, that at this point could be considered a little bit more artistic. That's good tho. They are keeping the spirit of groups like De La and A Tribe Called Quest alive in the sense that thay're thoughtful and the average, everyday wierdo or whomever can seem that much more interesting when they cop their music. At the end of the day hip-hop needs variety. Variety is always good. That's why supermarkets thrive kid.....you get to choose baby. What kinda cereal do you want? Frosted Flakes or Fruity Pebbles? Non Fat milk or Whole milk? It's a choice, and Americans love having choices, no matter how false or real they may be, we love having a smorgasboard to choose from, especially when it comes to music. Tanya Morgan is both the Choice and the variety, which is also what helps make them great and unlike most hip-hop groups of today, in the fact that they are accessable to more than just one type of person with one type of musical taste.

Ali Vegas- Leader Of The New School

Fresh off his last great offering to the masses "America's Prince" Ali Vegas returns with arguably the game's hottest mixtape DJ Statik Selektah to bring you "Leader Of The New School", a mixtape that is comprised mainly of new, exclusive freestyles. Ali picks up right where he left off on AP, and continues to wield lyrics in that raspy, back-of-the-neck, New York Circa 1996, style that has become his trademark. The tape has a few exclusives on it, none better than the DJ Premier assisted "Everyday Is War" track. Vegas goes back and forth with himself a la DMX and Damien on the track flexing his lyrical muscles and showing his true modus operandi; make dope shit for the masses with an ill ass beat playing in the background. Another highlight of this tape (that I was sure was gonna hapen)is the collabo Vegas does with Statik Selektah's homeboy from Lawrence Massachusetts, Termanology. Perhaps you've heard of him, lol. The track is called "The Future" and Statik also lended his hand in producing it. Make sure you get up on that joint, it's pure crack man...I mean mashed up between Columbian Narco traffickers feet in 100 degree heat, somewhere outside Bogata in the Jungle type cocaine people...check for that man. This tape is a cut above the rest rite now as we begin to see the formats of mixtapes start to return to that of their hayday (lots of solid freestyles, mixed with new material, hosted by a dope DJ), Ali sets a new standard with this project indeed...Can't wait for that new album.

New Developments in Pac's Shooting at Quad Studios in NYC in 1998 emerge

Chuck Phillips is back at it people. This time the L.A. Times staff writer isn't writing up a story about Biggie possibly being in Vegas the night of Pac's assasination and paying Crips to kill Mr. Shakur though. Nooo, this time he's actually started doing some real journalism. He's uncovered a link between Sean "Puffy" Combs aka P Diddy, Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond aka The head honcho over at Czar Entertainment, Walter Johnson aka King Tut, Jaques Agnant aka Haitian Jack and a James Sabatino aka I'm a son of a Mafia Captain in the Columbo crime family. Sabatino is the new, very intriguing key to Phillips's new research. So this very detailed story that is mostly already known just never before supported covers the sapposed real happenings that night at the Quad Studios. It covers how Pac wasn't really shot 5 times by "random" stick up kids and how his subsequent rampage of accusations toward Biggie and Puff knowing something about it might have been a lot more credible than we thought. Many times in the future I would hear the names "Tinard" and "King Tut" thrown around when Pac's assailants from the Quad Sudio shooting were brought up. What Phillips would have us believe is that it was actually Sabatino, Hatian Jack and Henchmen who would conspire to have Pac robbed and beaten, and not by just any old thugs...rather, by Mafia cronies who were friends of Sabatino's. Phillips also points out that the fact that Pac actually was shot turned out to be a knee jerk reaction from one of the stick up men when Pac reached for his weapon. Phillips supports his new findings thru previously sealed FBI documents which site an unknown informant as a witness to all of the above. This new info is truly mind blowing, especially since Tut is still locked up and Haitian Jack I believe is as well. Interesting read indeed, check out the whole story at the L.A. Times website here: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-naw-quad17mar17,0,639629.story?page=1

Video: La Coka Nostra- That's Coke

New shit from our favorite hardcore whiteboys La Coka Nostra! Man a lot of rappers should be ashamed of themselves man.....these guys are doing real hip-hop and not compromising artistry or none of that and still maintaining. They got a crazy joint rite here and while the video is kinda minimalistic (really it just shows them rapping) it's still one of the better new ones out there. Everlast, Ill Bill and Slaine all drop dope, hardcore verses that are very much aimed at the underground heads seeking out quality uhhhm,, uh...."stuff"....check out Danny Boy and Sick Jacken doin the cameo thing!

Video: AZ- Undeniable *World Premiere*

I guess life is clearly not a bitch no more, lol. We find our favorite underground street soloist AZ premiering his newest single off his upcoming CD of the same title. At first I really wasn't too into this for classic back pack reasons (the use of a clap in the beat rather than a snare etc., etc.) but I was still taken by the fact that AZ was still employing his vicious rapid fire flow and if this was as commercial he was gonna get for the new album, I could handle that....all in all a good effort, but I hope he decides to drop a new video as well....this shoulden't be the only visual representation of the album, he has much more worthy joints on it yet to be processed into vid's.

Video: AZ- The Come Up

This joint is a lil' bit older....think I first heard it in late 06' early 07' maybe, just now found the video and it's like all the other vids i've posted; too ill'....I'm feelin the way this was shot in black and white, and for a low budget joint AZ does pretty well as the focal point of the vid and getting everything lookin legit...all in all a video that was way below everyone's radar (even yours truly) but is now here for your viewing/listening pleasure. This was a monster joint after all, produced by Premier himself. Oh yeah check out Young DJ Absolut on the 1's and 2's!

Video: EMC- What It Stand For

More real hip-hop coming to you coutesy of Stricklin, Wordsworth and the legendary Masta Ace as they form the super group EMC! This Vid i'm sure is being heavilly slept on by many within the game and underneath it, but stop, sit down and listen to these bruthas man....they got together to make a near classic album for the real heads!! Beat produced by the Dutchmaster himself, Nicolay.

The Best Of Madlib mixed by DJ Jayceeoh

Here's a lil' somethin for all my Madlib addicts. This is a really dope mix of some of his finer material, put together flawlessly by none other than turntablist veteran DJ Jayceeoh. "The Best Of Madlib" features stuff from when Madlib was runnin with Lootpack, reprising his alter ego as Quasimoto, remixing classic joints and of course collaborating with Doom and Dilla. I haven't heard too many mixes dedicated to the Oxnard, CA beatsmith, but this one was very well put together and right on time. It even features a few really dope interviews with Madlib. This is a fitting mix for Madlib considering he is a tremendously gifted artist and MC. The tracklist truly was well thought out and deliberated over and I think most hardcore Stones Throw fans will agree it's a great run down of the man's best work to date, excluding "The Red", which he did with Dilla, that should be, but ain't on here...damn!. Standout tracks to check for if you haven't already are: "Special" featuring Erykah Badu and Medaphor, "Raw Addict" and "The Exclusive" featuring J. Dilla.

Buckshot and Charlie Murphy both stop thru to shed a lil light on the "Back pack" rap movement, the origins of their friendship and what it means to go all out. This is a dope tune, 9th is all over this one, and Murphy adds some serious hilarity to the video. Enjoy!!

Creative Juices presents Endless Varieties Vol. 2

This right here is an underground head's wet dream man. I first started checkin for the Creative Juices crew awhile back, when I was given a free sampler of theirs at a show. Right away I liked that man IDE's production a lot. It was real precise, yet it still had that dusty, authentic sound that you get when you add 1 part vinyl, one part good mixer and one part MPC 2000XL. I liked Alucard as well man, he was a very capable MC, and he would often suprise you lyrically, but in all truth his rawness was the real reason I dug his joints. The only cat I really can't build with a whole lot in the crew is Jak Progresso. Nuthin' against him personally, I just ain't feelin' dukes style, that's it, no disrespect to his art. Other cats in Creative Juices are a lot more agreeable to me, Iron Soloman, Swave Sevah and so on....their nice. Plenty of well thought out and solid rhymes when you listen to them, and their deliveries are ill too. They ain't afraid to spit into a mic, which is somethin we need to hear more often man. Ain't no timidness in they voices tho, not at all. Although I've dedicated a little bit of time to hype up the stable of in-house Creative Juices MC's, on this project it's the slew of well known and established talent that comes thru that really steals the show. From the jump this project is blessed by the talents of some serious vets. On the intro is none other than Mista Sinista, so from jump things pop off correctly. Sinista was also good enough to mix the whole project, so you actually get to enjoy his talents the whole time. From this point on, you know that Endless Varieties is going to live up to it's title. From Thistin Howl, Prince Ali, Ill Bill, Breez Evahflowin', Brooklyn Academy, Steele from Smif & Wessun, Prince Ali, Shabaam Shadeeq, Kieth Murray, Casual, Planet Asia, UG of Cella Dwellas, Necro, Mainflow and Little Vic, this compilation is littered with worthwhile underground artists rockin' to some crazy beats. This is a really good look for Creative Juices man.....and a great way to jump in the game as well might I add. A lot of underground cats get with a nice producer and release a few 12" inches and think that they are automatically some dope underground cats. Nope. Sorry man. I've heard too many bad Eyedea and Craig G impressions to rock with that. I like the way IDE and his boys is steady building momentum into the game. I checked out the first Endless Varieties, and while that was very dope, I can already tell that it'll be totally eclipsed by this joint. Not even close. The Intro gave that away. Every fan of real, poignant, well done, underground hip-hop should check this out, and while you at it check these cats out on Myspace too.
