" Zulu Nation's, King Kamonzi"

At this year's "Rock The Bells", I got the opportunity to build heavy with my Zulu brothers.....Peace to Mad Planet, Cashis D, Refa One, King Sha, King Kamonzi, Mannie, Ground Level, Cold Chris, Fooders, Kufu, Riff, Swift, and Bambaataa of course.............This is a interview I conducted with the international spokesman of the Zulu Nation, King Kamonzi.............He is a insightful brother, with a lot of jewels to share.....And I must also mention he is an m.c., that knows how to get the party started {Kamonzi,Cashis D, Swift, and Bam killed it at "Rock The Bells" }............Peep the interview.....

1.{HHBF}.......Iv'e seen you a couple times on the lecture circuit, so when I found out you were a m.c. I wasn't suprised. What are you bringing to the table lyrically, and what projects are you working on currently?

{Kamonzi}......Yeah, I don't just drop lyrics, I drop knowledge, wisdom and overstanding...The chidren today don't need to hear the same tired rappers with the same basic stories that all sound the same..Right now I am working on a album with a high power, uptempo, hyper-kinetic energy that will be released in Japan next year. I also will be putting together a Zulu Nation compilation album that will feature Zulu's from all over the U.S. as well as internationally......

2..{HHBF}.....What exactly is your title within the Zulu Nation, and how long have you been affiliated with the nation?

{Kamonzi}....I am the international spokesman for the Zulu Nation. I have been with the nation 10 years strong.....

3..{HHBF}......Biggest misconception about the Zulu Nation.....

{Kamonzi}....The biggest misconceptions I have encountered are those falsehoods about Zulu being some type of street gang organization..To set the record straight, Zulu Nation is a global Hip Hop awareness organization that stands for overcoming the negative through the positive and peace, unity, love and having fun...

4...{HHBF}....Where do you currently reside, and what countries have you travelled to?

{Kamonzi}...I reside in Milwaukee Wisconsin...I have travelled to Brazil, Belgium, England, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Czech Republic, Finland, England, Serbia, Canada, South Korea,Spain, Norway, Germany, Holland, and Switzerland.

5..{HHBF}...What is the current Hip Hop scene like in Milwaukee?

{Kamonzi}..I love my city and it is full of talented artist, but as a whole the Hip Hop scene in Milwaukee is making a resurgence after a long period of stagnation due to the lack of opportunities and outlets...

6..{HHBF}...Can you share some of your earliest Hip Hop memories?

{Kamonzi}.....Some of my earliest recollections of Hip Hop was first hearing the Sugar Hill Gang..The first song I heard was "Rappers Delight"..Back then we were dubbing everything on tapes, so when I finally saved up enough money, I bought the "8th Wonder"....The first major Hip Hop concert I went to was 'Fresh Fest" in Milwaukee 1984........

7..{HHBF}....Out of all the countries you have visited, which one had the greatest Hip Hop appreciation?

{Kamonzi}...A lot of countries appreciate Hip Hop, some even more than the U.S......But the ones that appreciate the most {In my opinion} are Germany and Japan...

8..{HHBF}..Ill stories......

{Kamonzi}....I have witnessed a lot of ill things on my travels throughout the world...Back in 2005 we were in a bullet train in Tokyo and we experienced a earthquake, all praise due that no one was hurt........

9...{HHBF}.....Shout outs....

{Kamonzi}.....If I gave shout outs it would take a whole notebook, so I will shout out the universe, Peace


Check for Kamonzi on myspace........A major big up to all the Zulu chapters all over the globe........UZN/NS/GBK

"Producer Spotlight," {Muggs}

It seems just like yesterday when 'Coolin In Cali" {7A3}, was blasting out out of my boom box......This was the first production I had ever heard from 'GrandMixer Muggs".....When I copped the 12 inch, the flip had a song entitled "That's How I'm Living".....Damn, 'This Muggs dude has some beats", I thought to myself.............For whatever reason "7A3" folded and Muggs popped up with another crew "Cypress Hill", and the rest is history........................Muggs should be mentioned whenever you are talking about cream of the crop Hip Hop producers.........His catalogue reflects diversity, creativity, and a certain grittiness that is lacking in mainstream music nowadays............Recently he has teamed up with 'Planet Asia", and released 'Pain Language".....The name of this joint is "Shadows Of Hell"...........Take That...............Peep Muggs at www.soulassasins.com and cop a fitted....

"The Original Banton"

Yesterday I picked up my cousin from the "Cayman Islands"......After we cracked a couple jokes and updated each other on the latest happenings, she informed that a major hurricane is about to hit the carribean.............Tonight at midnight the eye of the storm will be hovering right over the main city in Cayman {Georgetown}...........Hopefully my family will be safe, hurricane "Ivan", already took it's toll on the island a few years back.............It's only right I post up some reggae shit..........."Burro Banton", "Tenor Saw"," Cutty Ranks ", and "Supercat".......Live 1985, Shockout....

"Beat You The Fuck Up"

When it comes to beats I'm sitting on a healthy stack
of joints........I might as well share some with ya'll motherfuckers.......These are kinda old, but they still sound official {To my ears anyway}.......The reason why I usually put accapellas over my shit, is because I am afraid fools will just rob me............To all you beat nerd bandits......Bite this

"The Infamous Mobsters'

This is from the 'Blood Is Thicker Than Water" D.V.D.

"G.Z.A., Pro Tools"

G.Z.A's new album sounds like he is on the right track.......This time around he has better production......The name of this joint is called "My Life Is A Movie"....{Featuring R.Z.A. and Khan}.....

"Megagraphitti"

When Cannibal Ox first came out they had such a huge buzz behind them........I was skeptical because people were all wound up about it before the first album even dropped.......And then I heard "Iron Galaxy"........That was some fresh shit......Grimy,metallic, different, natural, etc................Fast forward to 2008 and "Can-Ox" is still dropping joints........This is from Mega's new solo album 'Megagraphitti", its called "Learn" {Produced by Ravage}..........My personal favorite off the album.

"Washington Dc's, Damu"

I have been checking out a gang of 'Damu's" beats lately, and I have come to the conclusion that this cat is on to something......This joint that I am posting up is called "Now Generation".....It sounds like a "Pete Rock" type of vibe, but I guess that's a good thing......

"New Shit"

Damn, this new Preemo jump off is grimey......Termanology and Bun B bless this track with ease......Who would of known "Bun B", would come through in the clutch with this type of wordplay?.......Dope.......Cop doubles fast......It's called "How We Rock".

"Motherfuckin K-Def"

K-Def is the man.....But I can't front, that "Beats From The 90's" joint wasn't all that explosive........It feels weird even saying that, because I am one of his biggest fans.........His instrumental album "Willie Boo Boo The Fool" is fresh though..........Iv'e read some interviews with him lately, and he claims he wants to stay away from sampling........Hopefully he can keep it grimey without his M.P.C. {Most cats can't, but I have faith in K}.......Here is some footage of him spinning at "Fat beats" a week ago, and a video of his old group "Real Live"..........BooYaaaaa

"Make Way 4 The W"

When most fools think of "W.C.", they think of a crip walking, chuck wearing, "West Side Connection" flag waver.......But truth be told, W.C.'s best work was pre-Ice Cube affiliation..........There was a time when 'W.C.", had scratching on his tracks.....There was a time when he rhymed over sample heavy beats........D.J. Alladin {World class battle d.j.} was W.C's right hand man in the group "Low Profile"................Even W.C.'s output in the group "M.A.A.D. Circle", sounds better than his later material.........Hip Hop Battlefield salutes you "W.C."., for being one of west coast finest...............

"Wax Weapons 8"

Act like you know.....It's Wax Weapons number 8, and it's time to let all hell break loose........All off the dome mix, 30 minutes of mayhem...........Blessed by yours truly.............Wild "Rock The Bells" footage posted up this weekend.......Stay tuned motherfuckers.........360..

"West Up", {The Nonce Edition}

Before I get into this piece I have to say R.I.P. "Yusef Afloat".......It seems just like yesterday when I got the horrible news.........But the thing that makes it even worse, is that "Yusef" didn't truly get the props he deserved....................The Nonce didn't sound like any other crew out there......Their sound was heavy on the bass, jazzy, abstract, funky, etc.......It's hard to describe them because they were so unique......."Nouka Bass Type", has carried on with his musical endeavors since Yusef's untimely passing......And he sounds better than ever................In 1992 The Nonce put out a test press of "MixTapes", on the flip there is a joint that wasn't on the album called "Crew Jam"......It's extremely rare, and under the radar.........Peep.....

"Philly's, Phil Most Chill"

Do ya'll remember that joint "Uptempo", by Phil Most Chill? That was some raw ass shit.......Anyway "Phil", is now known as the "Soulman"......His site {WorldOfBeatsv2.blogspot.com} is very fresh.............The song I am posting is from his album "Lo-Fi Theory".....Beats made in 1994-Rhymes made in 2004, on Puma Strut Records........Check it.....

"Producer Spotlight," {Buckwild}

When it comes to beats, you'd be hard-pressed to find another producer with as much output as D.I.T.C.'s "Buckwild"....Since 1994, Buckwild has maintained his status as a musical genius........From the bugged O.C. 'Times Up", to the melodic 'Daam rmx", his productions remain timeless.......He has worked with the Beastie Boys, Channel Live, Biggie, Kool G.Rap, Mic Geronimo, Jay Z, Big L, and a host of others........There was a period of time when Buckwild remixes were coming out at breakneck speed....One of my favorites from that era is the Funkdoobiest "Rock On" remix.............Inspiring.....

"All Hail The King' Part One {King Shameek Interview}

King Shameek has always intrigued me........The way he put together beats was unlike anyone I had heard before......Monkey's sampled intro's, House music infused with Hip Hop, Spontaneous breakdowns complementing heavy doses of scratching, and funky as fuck drum patterns.........His productions have managed to age very well.......He has worked with Naughty By Nature, Artifacts, King Sun, Twin Hype, L.P., PaceWon, El Gant, Style, Tony Terry, and even Peanut Butter Wolf {back in the day} ..........Hip Hop Battlefield salutes you "King Shameek", for being original, versatile, and most of all soulful......Check out this interview I conducted with Mr. Jose Matos {King Shameek}.......

{HHBF].....The first time I heard of you Shameek was the "In The House" 12 inch with the "Shameek's Groove" on the flip...Was this your first commercial release?

{King Shameek}....My first self produced release was "Make It Funky"...Seville featuring Jazzy J and Shameek on NVS/Cutting Records...Which was recorded on a 4 track recorder that my mom bought me in High School...Thanks Ma.....Before that I was just editing and scratching on freestyle records like Sweet Sensation ,Deniz, Tony Terry, etc...That work prepared me for larger studios.....

{HHBF}.....In 2006 there were talks of you and "Twin Hype" recording again, what's the update on that situation?

{King Shameek]....Most people know of the twins getting locked up from the" Source" article back in the day....So after they got released after 4-5 years we linked up 2 see if we could pick up where we left off..Things didn't really work out, I guess we didn't see things eye to eye..So another 4 years pass by, this time they recorded some demos and said they were ready to rock with me again....We recorded 4 hot joints..I was psyched about the joints we did....So I sent out a press release and set up meetings with labels...We then had another fallout, so I bounced before we heard any news about a deal...I have a lot of joints i did that never came out...I'm thinking about putting out a King Shameek lost tapes album with joints I did with King Sun, T La Rock, Twin Hype....For the most part I'm done with the twins though....I'd rather preserve my Hip Hop memories of us on tour and video shots and whatnot.....Nah mean?

{HHBF}.....Your recordings are always mixed down very well, are you more into analog recording devices or digital these days?

{King Shameek}....I had to make the change from analog to digital or get left in the dust...As a d.j. I made the change from vinyl to c.d. then serato.....I still love my vinyl, but I don't have to carry around a heavy ass crate...Unless I sell my house and move...As a producer I prefer to have a fatter and dirty sound on my beats that I got from analog, but recording and editing in protools is a lot faster...I found several ways to make my drums dirty in protools so I rock with that...When it comes to buttons and faders, I was always a hands on type of dude...It took me awhile to get used to rocking with a mouse, but for the most part I like to keep a tight mix and pan sounds so it bugs out the listener....I remember hearing "Buffalo Gals" for the first time and how they had all the scratching, vocals and sound effects paned to one side....And all the music and drums paned to the other side...I always took those kind of ideas in the studio with me.......

Part 2 Below...........

"The King Is Here" Continued.........

{HHBF} ....Upcoming projects?

{King Shameek}...Working on a line of scratch tones {ring tones}...I'm also V.P. of a production company called Newark Illustrated that houses artist Miss Nana and Angel Inez coming real soon..I'm also working on hosting my own online radio show real soon..Get at me Myspace.com/KingShameek

{HHBF}...I am curious to know how you found Hip Hop Battlefield?

{King Shameek}...I found your site from my google alerts..So when I checked your site from my sidekick I thought it was dope..I was like this cat knows his music.....

{HHBF]...You mixed Hip Hop and House in a way that hasn't been matched since.....What was the Newark club scene like back in the day?

{King Shameek}...My cousin was a D.J {Mumbles} at Club Zanzibar during the disco era..I think they opened in the late 70's..Zanzibar has always been a landmark in Newark...Jokers would come from all over the tri state area to party there...Sad thing is I just drove by there last week and it's leveled to the ground....When my cousin stopped dj'ing in the mid 80's he gave me some of his records...You could say I was studying those records...

{HHBF}..."The Truth" , by L.P. caught me by suprise...Especially when I found out you did the beat...How did you meet up with L.P. and what's his current status?

{King Shameek}..I was introduced to L.P. by his mom....I won't say who, but he has family in the D.I.T.C. crew...We keep L.P's profile under wraps because the nature of that song...It's like when 50 got all that feedback from "How To Rob"......Funny thing is we put out "Truth", before "How To Rob"...Hmmmm...I wonder if they got the idea when we were playing the demo to D.Dot?....Hmmmm, could that be why he wanted to hear it over and over again? Shout out to Sway and King Tech for playing it first....L.P. is flying back and forth from China to Atlanta, running some type of clothing distrubution business now........

{HHBF}...Whatever happened to 'Nefatini" ?

{King Shameek]...That's a good question..I was just put on that project..Her and Romeo Black were really down with D.J. Cheese.....

{HHBF}..Why didn't you release more material in the mid 90's?

{King Shameek]....I was working more on T.V. jingles and dj'ing because of deals gone bad..Before that I was developing and shopping a group called "Zero Tolerance", that I got signed to Loud Records..That project never came out, and we asked to be released from the label when we seen 'Mobb Deep" who were signed after us, come out before we did...So things got me discouraged from the music biz a little bit at that time....But I'm back {LoL]....

{HHBF}...Who exactly were 'Hollywood Impact", and what recording equipment were you using at that time?

{King Shameek].....Hollywood Impact was a crew of artist, producers, dj's under producer Hollywood's guidance...He was a d.j. from Newark that felt he could impact the game with a fresh, new sound, and we did just that...King Sun, Tony Tone and Mick Nice of Style..Kid Seville, Romeo Black and Nefatini, made some of the Hollywood Impact.....We recorded at a studio that was fully equipped, but we prefered the SP1200..Hell there were times when we just looped up a drum beat on a Numark mixer with no sequencer and lay more samples on top of it...The same thing Rick Rubin is famous for with the 'Beastie Boys"..It gave it that live feel...

{HHBF}...Can you drop some jewels on us about your mind frame when you recorded 'Twin Hype's" first album?

{King Shameek}...1988 and I am fresh out of High School and I was back in Jersey...Madukes wanted me to go to college, but I wanted to test out the N.Y. music scene for a year or two...While in Jersey I met Hollywood, he played a demo from 2 brothers, we thought they were clever with the rhymes.....So we started recording at a N.Y. production studio called "Centerfield'....Hollywood was a d.j too, he had a lot of that house music we sampled from....Jersey has always been big on House and club music....So we recorded 'Do It To The Crowd", and that was the first single...There was a lot of smoking weed and drinking beer during the recording of the first album......

{HHBF]....Who were some of your musical influences growing up?

{King Shameek]...I was born in Newark, but moved to Cali in the late 70's...So it was Cali where I was first introduced to Hip Hop...Before that I had a thing for funk and RNB music like George Clinton, Marvin Gaye, and James Brown.....I was up on N.Y. when I would take trips back to see my family...I got tapes early of Supreme Team, Red Alert, Chuck Chillout....I remember most of the Cali Hip Hop like "Egyptian Lover'," Bobby Jimmy", 'World Class Wrecking Crew"....I would only get to play true school Hip Hop when I would spin on the "Drum" with "Kevvy Kev' on KZSU [Stanford} or with "KutMaster Kurt" in Santa Cruz....



{HHBF]...Favorite "King Sun" moment........

{King Shameek}......The time where he went into the d.j. booth where 'Funk Master Flex" was playing during a Ice Cube performance...Sun got on the house mic and called out Cube ....He claimed Cube stole a song called "Wicked" from him...Sun was like "Cube you are a biter"... Everyone was looking around, because they didn't know what was going on....So Cube stopped his show, and was like "so what I stole 'Wicked"....So Sun asked to battle, and Cube agreed....By the time Sun got to the stage security was called to stop him so nothing happened at all..........

" New A.Z. Shit "

On each and every one of A.Z's albums his lyrics are razor sharp........His flow and cadence are exceptional.......But his beat selection is shabby on occasion.......In my opinion A.Z. sounds best over loops or minimalistic type production {Check his Memphis mixtape for a proper example}..........This year he put out another mixtape called "N4L" with D.J. Absolut, and the song I posted is called "The Secret" featuring Raekon and Charlie Rock..........Fresh.....

"Rock The Motherfuckin Bells Kid"

Last year I didn't go to this concert, I wasn't really tripping off it.........But this year my Zulu Nation connections blessed me with a backstage ticket.......So it's on..........I still have a couple problems with this concert......Number one.....How and the hell can you put Afrika Bambaataa on the small stage? That's some straight up sucker shit.........Number two.....How can you call your shit "Rock The Bells without L.L. Cool J {He used to be the illest} ?.......That is backwards.....That's like calling your tour the 'Criminal Minded" tour without K.R.S............Fuck all the complaining, no one cares anyway............Posting will be delayed until Sunday when I get back...........But when I get back I will have interviews, music, and exclusive video footage to bless ya'll with.......Until then, check this Rakim Rock The Bells footage.............

"Old Dirty Bastard"....Salute

In 1995 Elektra put out a live compilation called, "Ill Style Live"..............Featuring Lin Que, 8-Off, Das EfX, Supernatural, Deda Baby Paw, etc........The standout {in my opinion} is when Brooklyn Zoo and Old Dirty Bastard started to wild out.........This has to be one of the illest live performances I have ever heard in my life........Dirty screams on the D.J. {who happens to be Pete Rock}, claims he has 3 babies on the way, and even calls out the "Man"..............Hilarious.......We miss you Dirty.......

"Suckaz Of The Week", West Palm Beach Police

Police brutality is on the rise people.....From coast to coast, the coppers will go upside your head over simple shit.....Usually the sucker of the week is some Hip Hop bafoon, but those are easy targets..........The real suckers rock a badge and do whatever they want, whenever they want..........Check this footage of Florida police acting like barbarians...........Shameful.........{R.I.P. Sean Bell}

"Remix Roundhouse"

Remix time folks..........Prodigy did a joint with Planet Asia that was called "Stick N Move", the original was produced by Evidence.......I decided to flip the acapella over one of my more minimal type of beats.......The results are grimey and creepy........Check out the chops on this bugged remix......Free P....

"D.J. Dez"

Hailing from Detroit is D.J. Dez "A.K.A " Andreas...........He released an album of instrumentals a while back called "Natural" and it is pretty fresh......Dez has worked with JayDee, PhatKat, Eryka Badu, J5, and countless others........Hip Hop production isn't his only forte', he also dabbles in house, downtempo, etc...........

"The Industry Is Wack"

This album {Big Time} isn't one of Kool Keith's greatest, but this song "The Industry Is Wack" is dope enough for me to overlook some of the album's mishaps........ Tim Dog does his best to steal the show, but Keith's sense of comedy get's the loudest laugh.....Produced by Kut Master Kurt....

"Crew Spotlight," Cold Crush Edition....

The original Cold Crush consisted of Tony Tone, Easy A.D., Charlie Chase, Whipper Whip, and Dot A Rock..........GrandMaster Caz, Almighty K.G., and J.D.L. didn't join the crew until later on..............Today I am posting up a live performance of Cold Crush in 1981, at a Christmas battle........Ten minutes of synchronized routines, funky rhyme patterns, and classic old school enthusiasm...........For all you so-called mc's out there, take notes on how to rock a fuckin party........

"The Outlaw, Josie Wales"

I have heard a couple mc's name drop "Josie Wales" lately {Guru and Little Brothers, Phonte}..........Josie joined the "Roots Unlimited Sound System" in 1977, and later recorded for "King Jammy", and "Junjo Lawes".......The audio I am about to bless ya'll with is classic shit......45 minutes of Josie wilding on the mic for " A1 Sound System" in 1984........This is mad rare and live as it gets.....You can actually hear mad gun shots going off during the whole set.................Booyaaakaaaa..

'Big L, Remix Edition"

It's a damn shame what happened to Big L........He was right on the verge of something really big...........He was the mc's, m.c.....Clever word play, a ill sense of humor, and dangerous punchlines......Yeah, L was one of the greats.......This is a remix I just did, and it has a Isaac Hayes sample in it...{R.I.P}........{R.I.P] Bernie Mac.....{R.I.P.} Big L....

"Scratch Overlord" Ricci Rucker

Ricci Rucker is a turntable wrecking ball....His cuts are so technical, that he makes most Dj's look like lazy suckas........When he first stepped on the scene he made a immediate splash, and hasn't stopped progressing since........Check him out at asisphonics.com............ This footage is from a show I attended a while back.......It was at Joe's Style Shop {which is no longer there}..
Ricci is alongside Mello D {Beat Junkies}, and D-Styles, and they absolutely wreck shit...........Check it out below...

"8-OFF The Assasin"..A.K.A. Agallah

Agallah The Don Bishop, Brad Piff, 8-OFF, etc........Has been putting in work for years.....From his days with Elektra, to his work on Game Records, and his recent output on the production tip, Agallah has been very busy..........His "F.A.M.E." {Fuck All My Enemies} mixtape came out earlier this year..................On this mixtape Agallah disses Jay Z, Nas, Russell Simmons, etc........The song I posted is called "Fame".......Peep..

'Live From Tokyo", Third Sight

Third Sight consist of D Styles, Du-Funk, and Jihad........They have released 2 albums and one E.P............Everyone knows D is nasty on the cuts.....But for some reason people sleep on Jihad's rhymes......Maybe he is too complex, perhaps a little to heavy on the wordplay for some.......In my opinion, he is one of the illest to ever do it.....He has created his own style, his flows are unpredictable and agile, and his storytelling ability is ridiculous.........Go buy all their shit...........Here is a clip of him freestyling, over D Styles drumming..........Swayzeeeeee

"Style Thievery" Lo-Life Edition

Remember that wack line Kanye West said about "Ralph Lauren being boring before he wore em'...........That's a motherfuckin lie.......The Lo-Life's are to Polo, what Run D.M.C. is to Adidas...{As far as Hip Hop is concerned]........Check out this footage of Fi-Lo dissing the fuck outta Kanye........Funny

"Get Live Motherfuckas"

J Live's new album is his best to date.....Don't get me wrong, his other albums are pretty solid as well....But this time he has Evil Dee, Dj Spinna, Prince Paul, DJ Nu-Mark, etc to handle the bulk of the production.........This joint is called "It Don't Stop".....It's off his new album on BBE records............Download below..

"Style Supremacy"

Be there or be a square.....

"Wax Weapons 7" {West Coast Edition}

The seventh edition of "Wax Weapons" is here...........These beats were blessed by all west coast producers.......A lot of these joints are obscure and hard to find...........We have a rich heritage of funky beats on this side......Salute to Broadway. D.J. Pooh, Muggs, Alchemist, The Nonce, Kut Master Kurt, Architect, Design, Mums, Supreme, Jake One, Vitamin D {Seattle is in the west}, Shadow, Cut Chemist, Thes One. Madlib, KanKick, J Groove, J Swift, let me just stop, I could go on all day........................This was done in one take......All wax, all west, all mixed by Drasar Monumental NS/GBK/HR/SOA

"4 Time Champion, D. J. Akakabe"

Japan's 4 time D.M.C. Champion "D.J. Akakabe", is one of the last mohicans.....He can mix, cut, juggle, and party rock with finesse......Some of his routines in the D.M.C's were light years ahead of his competition........He released a record with the "Terracotta Troupe" {Feat, Del}, and put out countless mixtapes over the years...........Hip Hop Battlefield salutes you "D.J. Akakabe", for being ill as fuck.........

"Masked Avengers"

This song "Masked Avengers", features Shyhiem, Superb, and Hell Razah......It's produced by Mathmatics, and it's a heater......Peep it, and turn the volume up past ten......100

"Wax Weapons 6"

Here we go again people.......Drasar Monumental on the motherfuckin mix.....Put on your helmets, strap on your seat belts, lace up those timbos, get that hoodie on nice and tight, get your mind right........Another edition of "Wax Weapons", all instrumental, all off the top of the dome........I'm going in...........Download now..........Big up 2 Carlo in S.F. , keep checkin in fam...

" New Camp Lo "

Anytime I hear "Luchini", I flashback to a ill period in Hip Hop..........Bronx New York's, Geechie Suede and Sonnie Cheeba {Camp Lo} have a classic under their belts....'Uptown Saturday Night" will always have a place in my crates..........But they have kept at it, and their new tracks bang as well......This joint is called "Lumdi La".......It has a very familiar sample, and normally I would diss the fuck out of this type of production, but somehow they still finesse that shit.....

"True Life Hip Hop Stories", Flavor Flav Edition...

It's 1994 and I am high as a kite on some stress weed and a warm St.Ides 40 oz.......Tonight Public Enemy, The Fugees, and The Goats [remember those dudes} are performing...........Me and my crew are broke, pockets are looking shabby as fuck, but here we are........Were chillin in the club parking lot and out comes "Wyclef".......He hits us up for some trees to blaze, we smoke, we crack jokes, and we end up starting a cypher right there............No Lie.........We hit Wyclef with our most brutal rhymes, punchlines, battle darts, multi syllable shit, the works.......Wyclef is stunned, Wyclef is caught off guard, Wyclef just got smoked ya'll.........Anyway he is so impressed he let's us in the show 4 free.................The Fugees take a break during their set and invite mc's up to the stage.......We bumrush the stage.......A couple kids try to rhyme, they wack.......I hop up there, tell the band to stop.....I wanna flip this shit acapella........."Mayday,mayday,/ I lay more bodies to rest than Richard Ramirez in his heyday...."Don't even bother, to step to this saga/ or you'll end up like Michael Jordans father".........The packed crowd is going crazy...I'm really rocking this shit....Lauryn is watching me, she's bobbing her head...I'm killing it.............Next thing you know Flavor Flav is on stage, in my face, yelling at the top of his lungs......"Fuck you, I know Michael Jordan, ya'll niggers are over"........He is in my face, the crowd is screaming, I want to knock Flavor Flav the fuck out........I love P.E., they are one of my favorite groups, but I gotta knock Flav the fuck out {Imagine that}.....I look past Flav's shoulder and I spot the S1w's {Deep}...........I am not knockin anyone out, time to part this crowd like the red sea, and get the hell outta here........................Flavor Flav sonned me, and 14 years later I kinda regret not beating him down....
