Don`t know why people have to redo the songs of this classic album, but then again our beloved three kats from the DMV give a pretty good reason why you should at least try. Von Pea and Spec Boogie, who I think are just as good, do not convince me at all with their version of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya". Incase you really think that this could be of any interest to you, check it out here. Peace. jimmy
And the Links keep comin in. This is Mike Nova...another totally unfamiliar artist to me..and his Partners in Rhyme Belvi, Rich, Def Sound. Beat is a mixture between Diabase-Nintendo-Crazyness and some Clipse-BlingBling. Mono Poly definitly made me break my neck with this one. Cheers. jimmy
New shit from the West Coast. Didn`t know about C.Keys, but did hear some G Rocka tracks before...and I must say he is doing his thing and probably learning a lot around Muggs and his Soul Assassins. You can find the B-side of the single here...G Rocka on the Hook. The album "Sophisticated Hood" is set to release mid summer of 2010. O.P. you the man. jimmy

My english isn`t at a level where I can understand everything these Rappers are saying, but for me it seemed like this a message to a younger fella, so I put up a picture of a young Bangladeshi kid who was a little to anxious while attending art class. Haha. jimmy

This is the second part of my "Rapping Daddy Series". Don`t know why but this one convinced me just that tiny bit more. It has got the children playing in the background aswell, but I don`t know, is it the beat or the raps?...I mean both beats are crazy...maybe it`s just because I have been peeping these dudes from Oxnard just a little longer. With that being said I thought Dex/RiffRaff McGriff was part of the crew aswell or is it that he just didn`t lay a verse on this one? What do you guys think? Who picked up the win? Also you can download the single...that`s a plus. Anyways two great songs for all you "grown" folks. peace jimmy
Now this starts of my "Rapping Daddy Series". I found two videos/songs in like two days which have the same message: I am a proud father, but that doesn`t keep me from doing my music with the homies. That`s it. Let`s see who has the better song/video...hehe. First one is by Ruslan and his homies Blame One, Braille and Exile. (saw this @ potholesinmyblog) jimmy
THE BACKGROUND: Kutmah was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US with hismother when he was 12 years old. They immediately applied for US residency to keep them from being sent to Egypt. The US court ruled that as a British citizen he would be able to live in the UK and denied their application.
Kutmah and his Mom returned to court to plead their case 14 years ago when Kutmah was 20. They were againdenied a green card and were urged to sign a document stating they would voluntary leave the US.On Wednesday morning, May 5th armed agents entered Kutmah's house and detained him. He was brought to a facility in downtown LA where he was interrogated. On Thursday he was moved to New Mexico. We need to show how important Kutmah is to the LA and US community. Please write a letter and spread the word!

LETTER TEMPLATE: To Whom it May Concern:Justin McNulty is a highly talented artist, DJ and music producer who is a beloved member of the Los Angeles creative community.For well over a decade he has devoted his substantial skills to the betterment of our community through positive, artistic actions.Mr. McNulty has selflessly donated his time and exceptional talents to numerous charitable and non-profit causes. He has garnered worldwide acclaim through these efforts based in the United States.Mr. McNulty’s individual community arts service is a testament to modern philanthropy. In an age when institutional funding is slim he has taken personal action to better our country by inspiring its citizens through progressive cultural outreach.I fully support Justin McNulty’s right to stay in the United States and urge your positive and swift action in this matter. His deportation would be a devastating loss to Los Angeles and the American arts.
Es wäre eine schöne Geste sich die Zeit zu nehmen und die Petition zu unterschreiben.Unabhängig davon wen es trifft,ist es immer ein trauriges Schicksal wenn sich Menschen in Abschiebehaft befinden und von einem Tag auf den anderen aus ihrem Leben gerissen werden um auf ihre "Deportation" ins Ungewisse zu warten.Faschistische Gesetze sind es, die Staaten sich immer wieder zu eigen machen um durch Machtwillkür und Staatsgewalt, die Freiheit und Individualität des Einzelnen mit Füßen zu treten.Demokratie ist Dackelblut!Eine Petition ist zwar nur ein Tropfen auf dem heißen Stein aber auch hier lautet die Devise "Die Hoffnung stirbt zu letzt".// Wir bitten euch keine Fake Email Adressen zu benutzen,da die Unterzeichnung später bestätigt werden muss.Danke für eure Zeit!
Unreleased material by "Sinuous" an MCee and Producer.This Guy is part of the "Audacity" family you may know from "Epsilon Project".Very nice and smooth Boom Bap instrumentals with a "Sinuous" dropping his rhymes cushy and relaxed.In the next time he will drop "Throwbacks" part 2 and 3.Stay tuned for the "Audacity Fam" because im sure they*ll have some nice releases in the future like the new "Epsilon Project" Album "Audacity" with productions from "Oh-No","Kev Brown" and "DJ Vadim".Peace!
The last Episode of "Oddisee's" "Seasons" announcements."Odd Spring" is soulful and the right Soundtrack for the Spring,we still waiting for in germany.We are lucky guys,because we met "Oddisee" and his "Diamond District" partners in february and he is really easeful and considered.That's what "Odd Spring" represents to me is the same.An balanced and stunning arranged Mixtape which benefits to the sound.Great work Dude!
While scrolling through The Physics`s Blog I found this new Jake One Mixtape. Jake One and The Physics are both from Seattle and even though it doesn`t say anywhere on the cover, everybody featured on this mix is part of the Seattle Hiphop scene. Songs are from `89 until `09 and if you know the stuff Jake One stands for it`s an instant Download. jimmy
