Jazzy Jeff...

just one of many tracks that I keep forgetting to share on this here pisspoor excuse for a blog...



"Jazzy Jeff inspired a generation of 80’s kids with classics such as ‘Live from Union Square’ and ‘A Touch of Jazz’ with his right hand man the Fresh Prince. I was one of those kids who used to scratch my head with amazement after listening to his turntable skills. Chrome hits the nail on the head with his nostalgic rhymes in this respectful nod to the man Jazzy Jeff aka Jeff Townes.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 22, 1965, Jazzy Jeff took to the DJ booth at age 10. He worked in area clubs, pioneering the transformer scratch and chirp scratch. In 1985, he and Will Smith formed the act DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. They sold millions of records and became the first rap act to win a Grammy. To this day he inspires thousands of dj’s with his dance floor rocking sets.
So let’s take a second to send our respects to the man with a touch of jazz on the decks. This is the second single from the second album from K-Delight due this year. This will be a limited edition FREE download then will be available from the usual online spots. Enjoy."

Donnie Propa - Side 2 Side...

DONNIE PROPA out of HEAVY LINKS has put out his first mix in what seems like an age and I reckon it's been worth the wait.
This one is chock full of double copies of classic U.S rap RECORDS (ie: all vinyl, none of your download, mp3jay, dibby dibby soundbwoy bizznizzzzzz) from the 90's and was done in collaboration with PLANET ROCK GRAPHICS as the first in their SIDE2SIDE series of mixtapes.

Burgundy Blood and King Cesar....

Heavy Crates & More Bounce & No Fakin' have announced this gem of a late valentine's day present for the missus...




"KING CESAR introduced himself to Hip Hop fans worldwide with his collaboration with MF DOOM on "Who You Think I Am" taken from Doom's timeless classic LP "Operation Doomsday". Along with Doom he is an original member of the underground New York Super Crew Monsta Island Czars. Their official debut LP "Escape From Monsta Island", largely produced by Cesar, earned huge critical acclaim reaching almost cult status with underground Hip Hop fans. For his first ever UK shows he is joined by Heavy Crates collaborator BURGUNDY BLOOD.

A Stalwart of the Manchester music scene for over 2 decades BURGUNDY BLOOD came back fresher than ever in 2013 with his multi-member Hip Hop concept 'series'. As well as KING CESAR has recently collaborated with SADAT X for Heavy Crates Records, dropped 'The Cordial Stance' EP on Chopped Herring Records and makes his Manchester debut off the back of a highly anticipated colloaboration with KOOL KEITH."
