" Edit Your Face "


I have a newfound respect for " 7L " after checking out this ( Bladerunners ) mix...In terms of execution it must have been a tedious project to handle, because it sounds very technical and intricate...You don't hear many edit mixes anymore, and that's what seperates this mix from the rest of the pack...The other half of the " Bladerunners " crew, " The Razor " goes straight psycho on the edits...( enought to make Steinski proud )..

Even though this is a very thorough mix, there are a couple misteps..." 7L " sprinkles a dash of " Hipster Sauce " on the mix towards the end...( when you hear it you will know what I mean ) ..But all in all, this is a very solid effort that deserves some burn...Big up to those kids up in " Beantown "....100

" Just Let The Beats Rock "


On this " Rooftops E.P. " you will hear a heavy dose of down-tempo grooves laced with booming, crunchy drums...Nothing too groundbreaking, but right in the pocket ( Sometimes less is more, take note all you 10 million sequence dudes )...

This is perfect theme music for Sunday night lamping sessions or 3 A.M. city cruising....The cat that produced this project's name is " Skipless "....I think he is on to something, so peep for yourself cousin...




" Sid Roams Instrumentals "


The production duo known as " Sid Roams " are on their GRIZZLY as of late...They have supplied beats to " Prodigy ", Hardwhite ", " A- Alikes ", " Big Twinz ", " Vordul Mega ", " Evidence ", etc..Most of their joints fall in the " Cold Hearted, Gangster Shoot Em Up " category ( which isn't a bad thing, if it's done the right way HAHAH )...

In 2007 they put out a instrumental project that has it's moments...These are my favorite cuts, " Bringing That Heat " and " Sound Mission " ..



" Paul Nice vs Sade "


For over 20 years " Sade " has churned out nothing but beautiful music....Instead of sacraficing her integrity and cashing out, she has opted to take the road less- travelled and dealt with the music industry on her own terms..( You gotta admire that )..

She has the uncanny ability to make even the hardest hardrocks melt underneath the weight of her voice..I have seen the grimiest of cats, start snapping their fingers and put on a happy face when one of her songs popped up on the jukebox..." Sade " is in a zone all by herself, you can't compare her to anyone before and after her.....Another crazy thing is that her core band has remained together for over two decades..( Almost unheard of in this day and age )

Salute to you " Sade " for being such a fucking beautiful enigma....A true class act ..

Once again " Paul Nice " graces the BATTLEFIELD with that old goodness....Quit wasting time and CHECK IN .....

" Style Warz 2009 "


Pose and Ewok x Ironlak x SuperVision. from Ironlak on Vimeo.

The music in the background is almost unbearable to listen to, but if you can get passed that and check out the hand styles, you will notice that " Pose " and " Ewok " aren't playing fucking games....DAMN

" Mobb Deep : Safe Is Cracked "


This is best cut off of the " Safe Is Cracked " album....( The beat is straight gutter )...Free - P

" Get Your Fingers Dusty Kid "


Check out what " Lord Finesse "," O. C ", " Diamond ", and " Ogee " had to say about sampling vs. keyboards, digging, and D.I.T.C.'s upcoming projects....

" Likwit Crew General "


" King T " is in a class by himself...With the help of the underrated " D.J. Pooh " he crafted some very funky bangers...His first 3 albums are bonafied classic joints when it comes to this west coast Hip Hop shit...If the " Likwit Crew " ever decide to clique up and drop a album, I have a feeling it will cause much damage out there....

B.C's " J -Swing " put together this mix of all " King T " cuts...30 minutes of flavor....CHECK IN..

" Hard To Kill Original Version "


If you thought the version of " Hard To Kill " on Show Biz And A.G. 's first album was raw, you should check out the demo version...Scratch sentences, numerous break changes, and a unheard A.G. verse makes this one a winner...

" Up North "


Since I am on the Vancouver tip this week, it's only right that I post up one of B.C.'s finest, " Checkmate "....I took a gamble on buying a couple of his records in 1999, and when I finally got a chance to check them out I was suprised to hear how ill " Check " was.....

He is still doing his thing in Canada, I actually saw a flyer with his name on it for a upcoming show.....( Too bad I couldn't peep that out )...Anyway, salute to you " Check " for holding it down for quite sometime...Looking forward to hearing some 2009 tracks from you...100



" Mix Master Mike On The Mix "


" ISP " changed the game forever...Q Bert, Mike, Disk, Shortkut, Disk, D, Apollo, raised the bar so high on the west coast, D.J.'s are still playing catch up to what they accomplished in the 90's...And who could ever forget the infamous " ISP " " X- Men " battle ?....That was some classic shit right there...Speaking of classics, this " MMM " mix is not to be slept on....Here is the playlist JACK...

" Zulu Nation In The Place To Be "


My manz straight from the SOUTH BRONX ( D.J. HEKTEK ) is conducting a interview with me and Mr. Funk What Ya Heard tonight at 8:30 pacific time....It's a Zulu Nation affair, so make sure you CHECK IN and see how we do it over here cousin...BX STAND UP..

" Back On The Motherfuckin Set "



My trip to Vancouver, Canada charged up my batteries....I now have a fresh perspective for the 2009 season....If you have never been to " Vansterdam ' let me give you a brief rundown on how they get it poppin out there...
When it comes to record shops ' Van City " is holding....Zulu Records, Beat Street, and several others had huge vinyl selections...Everything from Hip Hop, Jazz, Breaks, etc....But my personal favorite was " Vinyl Records ".....Believe me when I tell you, this record store is fucking out of control....When I hit up the owner, " DJ Dave Jones " for obscure drum breaks, he proceeded to pull out stack after stack of some grimy ass drums....Shit I have never heard before...I'm not talking average breaks that have been flipped a million times, I'm talking open, under the radar, heavy, loud ass drums that would make any B Boy lose his mind...Big up to you " Dave ", for keeping it thorough kid...See you again in the near future HAHAHAH....





When it comes to ill kicks, " Vancouver " is no fuckin joke.....Freshman, Good Foot, FL, Stussy Kicks, Adidas BC, etc....All had a healthy stash of fresh joints....But " DIPT " had me losing my marbles....Air Max's, SB's, Jordan flips, and all types of other shit..Cool store with a helpful staff....Thumbs up...

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check out " Maestro Fresh Wes " while I was out there...He was having a birthday jam at the same time a Q Bert, Rahzel, Muggs, Supernat show was poppin off....But I did catch the Q- Bert show, and I was very impressed with everyone on the bill.....Muggs fuckin killed it....Supernat and Rahzel actually stunned me..." Nat " is a beast live with all that off the top of the dome shit he does..And you know how " Q " get's down....



And when it comes to that " Dancehall flavor " the d.j's up there know how to keep a party live...At this one club I saw a couple selectors really GO IN....It got so wild up in there that a extremely thick super freak slapped my ass....But since I was up there with my girl on our 5 year anniversary, I had to keep my composure son ( flattering nevertheless HAHAHA )...

All in all " V- Town " is a progressive city with plenty of youth outreach programs. ....They have a Hip Hop camp with a studio for all the disenfranchised kids....Universal health care for anyone that needs medical attention...And if you are a homeless teenager, you can find apartments where you can live for free for up to a year....CRAZY....In America no one gives a fuck about you...If your broke or homeless, the motto is " GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE SCUMBAG "...In Canada, it seems as if the people actually have a sense of community and responsibility...

I am not trying to paint Vancouver as some kind of utopia though.....People get clapped up everyday, just like any other city....Matter of fact, a dude got blasted right down the street from where I was staying...But for the most part crime is relatively low for such a huge population ( over 3 million )....Gun laws are extremely strict, if you get caught with a burner you will be facing a year in prison....Ouch...

So don't believe Canada is all about Whiskey, Hockey, and snowstorms....If you get a chance, check it out for yourself, you will be pleasantly suprised...And when you head to the " New Amsterdam Cafe " tell em that grimy kid from HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD sent you JACK...Peace goes out to those Russian Mafia kids, Klimson, Evo, Dave, BS, Riddim And Spice, Kenya Kids, my girl " Elizabeth " for trooping with me for 5 years: love is love, and the entire city of Vancouver for keeping it live....

" New Shit "


Steele From " Smif N Wesson " is back with a new burner to put you back in the right frame of mind...This new cut ( Toast To Brooklyn ) features Buckshot and Jo Chris...It is produced by newcomer " Che Triumph " - with drums programmed by " Evil Dee "...This song grew on me after I listened to it for awhile...Good to see the BCC kids still shining.....BK Stand The Fuck Up....

" I'm In Vancouver , British Columbia "


I have been in Vancouver, Canada for the last 5 days....There will be no more post until Wednesday....Canada has a lot of fly record stores, kick shops, clubs ( on the first night here caught a show with Muggs, Q-Bert, Supernat, and Rahzel ).....People are on some ultra- laid back shit up here....They don't call Vancouver " Vansterdam " for nothing kid.....

Check for me on Wed.....

" Wax Weapons 19 "


This is the only " Wax Weapons " that will ever be made without blends...I decided to just throw on some records that fall in the " good music category ".....Come on you got to give the kid a break, every other " WW " features live blends, doubles, and all that other shit....But don't get the wrong impression holmes, you will hear some wild grooves to get loose to...( straight from my crates )

And by the way, my little blog experiment turns 500 today....Thanks to all the cats that CHECK IN on the regular...Some of my mixes have been dowloaded by the hundreds, so I want to say big up and all that other shit...I am just getting started on the BATTLEFIELD, so believe me when I tell you " I AIN'T GOING NOWHERE ".....Don't sleep on me baby, a lot more mixes, remixes, exclusives, interviews ( Brother J, Paris, etc are already in the stashbox ) , videos, rarities, are on the way....HOLD TIGHT..

" Small Pro Remix Shit "


When I first heard the name " Small Pro " I was kinda mad....I thought to myself, " what's wrong with this cat, why is he playing Large Pro close like that ? "...( I don't care for the name Young Guru either )...

But I guess a name isn't everything because " Small Pro " does his thing.....For instance, the " Large Pro vs Small Pro " joint has a couple heaters on it...( I know you have heard this David Axelrod flip before, but SP's version rocks pretty hard )....CHECK IN..

" Hip Hop Battlefield Goes To Brazil "


Someday I have to travel to Brazil...The music that I have been hearing from that part of the world, has put me under some type of trance...

Piero Umiliani composed the soundtrack for the Brazilian film, " Le Isole Dell' Amore " ......This is not your typical bossa nova or samba record, all types of genres are thrown into the pot....And for all you motherfuckin " BEAT NERDS ", you will be happy to find a grip of things to chop up and flip....Shouts out to ' MCB " for holding it down...

I decided to dead the " Sucka Of The Week " column because it was getting a little corny, so instead here is the first installment in the " Few Good Laughs " series.... ( courtesy of the Murphy Brothers )

Charlie Murphy is one funny ass cat..I actually thought he was funnier than that Dave Chapelle kid....


And who can forget the other Murphy brother ( Vernon ) and his military minded rap outfit the "K-9 Posse "...Even though I liked some of their music, I couldn't help but laugh at this shit ( then and now )..

" Kool G. Rap vs. Bobbito "

Mixes that expose producers samples is a bit cliche in 2009.....Face it, he beat you to the record...He hooked it up and flipped it before you even had a fuckin clue the record existed....Just because you stumbled upon it ( years later ) doesn't mean you deserve a pat on the back JACK....

" It's The Lord Digga "



As a member of " Masta Ace Incorporated ", Lord Digga blessed us with some descent rhymes, but his production skills deserve some recognition also..As one half of the " Blues Brothers " production team, " LD " has worked with " Biggie Smalls ", " ODB ", " Cella Dwellas ", " Dreadknots ", " Mystidious Misfits ", etc...His trademark sound is heavy drums, crazy filters, and a huge dose of jazz chops ....

Awhile back " One Leg Up " records released the highly sought after " High Plains Drifter E.P. ", which features some funky beats by " LD "... Now is the time to find out for yourself...

" Brand New Day ", and " Enemy Lines " featuring Logik...( I know the pic is from " Flows Are Tight " not High Plains Drifter, but I always loved this cover, so fuck it )....





And here is the illest interview I have ever seen on " LD " ...Props to One Leg Up for constantly keeping it fresh...PEEP

" Rest In Peace Black I "


It's a shame how certain mc's get overlooked....Even with the help of the internet, it is hard sifting through the abyss of Hip Hop releases to find those true precious jewels.....One of the reasons " Black I " didn't recieve the acclaim he should have, is because many people in the states didn't have access to his music. { Toronto was his homebase } ..

In 1996 I was lucky enough to catch " No Laws " on a KCSB mix show....I couldn't believe what the fuck I was hearing....This was that official next level dope....That song was on heavy rotation in my walkman for the next few months, and I refused to give dubs of it to my crew who loved the track as well ( This was before the internet was really poppin HAHA )...

Somehow my tape got all fucked up, and when I tried to splice it back together the " Black I " joint was all out of wack...I tried to track down this record on vinyl, but the radio show never announced who made the song...But the phrase " no laws " kept poppin up , so I tried to hunt down the title.....

It's 13 years later and I am listening to a interview with " Maestro Fresh Wes " ( Real Frequency ) and he is talking about a fallen Hip Hop soldier named " Black I ".....In the interview he discussed how " Black " used to be a dancer back in the day, but was a dope m.c. as well...

I still didn't make the connection until I heard a best of Canadian Hip Hop mixtape, where Black had a song called " Where I'm From "....Yeah I thought to myself, " That's the same voice from " No Laws "....That's him, that's the guy....

And now the 13 year " HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD " mystery has been solved...I finally know the title of the artist and what compilation " No Laws " was released on ( Beat Factory : Rap Essentials ).....R.I.P. Black I....This is one of my favorite joints ( PERIOD )....Now I am on a quest to find every release you ever put out on vinyl.....And if you are not up on " Black I ", prepare for the shock of the hour....YOU BETTER CHECK IN.....TORONTO STAND THE FUCK UP...

" Killa Priest : Walter Reed Mixtape "



You can tell Killer Priest is the type of brother that is constantly hitting the books....His wordplay and vocabulary are on some professor shit...It is plainly obvious he took a tremendous amount of time honing his craft...Unfortunately some of his releases have fallen victim to the " mediocre beat syndrome ", but his lyrics have constantly remained sharp and full of substance...

The " Walter Reed " mixtape is like a heavy dose of smelling salts for all those that slept....This is " KP's " triumphant return and trust me, he is back to burn with this release....Do yourself a favor kid and motherfuckin CHECK IN.....P.S. If you can get past the awkward beat selections, you will find plenty of lyrical jewels....

" Huge Hefner Shit "


You know how " D " gets down....I am feeling this video ( Good/ Bad )...No silly fake groupies, no money stack flashing, just the bare bones essentials...2 thumbs up...

" Don't Believe The Hype 2009 "


Where is the next " Public Enemy " ?.....I would imagine that by now you are tired of all these tight jean wearing cry babies...With all this crazy shit going on in the world ( Institutional racism, homelessness, expanding prison populations, corporate scandals, etc, ) you would figure more artist would take the time to address certain politics....

I think the current Hip Hop nation bought into the so - called American dream...It used to be a cardinal sin to sell out your art and integrity for commerce...What the fuck happened ? No one want's to rock the boat because cats are scared about their money getting funny.....

Well I have some information for you JACK, this is the real world and the majority of people scramble for any crumb they can get, while a small minority ( bankers, politicians, etc ) horde the wealth like greedy, selfish piglets....You are not a gangster, and only a small amount of you are seeing large money like that....The real gangsters and money holders are political scumbags that could give a fuck less about you or your family....

Just because Obama is in office, don't think for a second that all is well...So many people are caught up in the racial significance of having a black president, that they forgot about the foul legacy of Amerikkka....This country isn't run by one person, it is controlled by many different groups, organizations, and fraternities ( each having their own agenda )...

Hip Hop taught me to question everything.....Sure I am happy to see a brother in office, but I have to question him just like I question all politicians, until I see some real changes.....And on that note, please check out this documentary about Obama, politricks and government corruption...( featuring cameos by KRS and Professor Griff ).....Respect goes out to my dude " REFA 1 " for lacing me up.....100

" It's Going Down In The 415 "


If you want to see " Drasar Monumental " live on the decks, make sure you check out this event poppin off in the bay on March 27th..The party people will definitely be in attendance...Major respect to " Fooderz Oner " for making this happen...100..

" Scaramanga As Cobra Commander "


Scaramanga was on some whole other shit from the gate...After hearing him rhyme on " Doc Oc ", I was convinced that he was going to take the multi - syllable attack to the next level....And he did, but many people chose to sleep....

For instance, you never hear anyone talk about the " Cobra Commander : Blood Bath Mafia " album.....Some of the production is a little off balance, but check out how " Scaramanga " GOES IN....

" Super Nova " featuring Big Dibbs....And " New York "...



" De La In The Mix "


D.J Manifest put this mixtape together awhile back....Rare joints, blends, and remixes.....You know what to do homeboy..

If you have shitty computer speakers, the heavy bass on this joint might just blow you right out of the game......For this weeks remix I flipped, " Inspector Deck " ( Move )...And the results are very flavorful ( If I may say so myself )....

NO MIDI, NO KEYBOARDS, NO HOMO....And I want to thank everyone for downloading these remixes, it is appreciated....And be on the lookout for the " Roughneck Radio Remix " project that me and " Mr Funk What Ya Heard " are working on....It's going to shake a lot of motherfuckers down, so stay tuned for that in the near future.....Enjoy...

" J Rocc + Dilla's Crates = Freshness "


Here is what " J Rocc " had to say regarding this mix....

" This is a mix of nothing but Dil's Record collection..


...the original source for the beats.


Half of this mix is on "The Ma Dukes Collection"...this is that mix with a 2nd half added.

(There is a 3rd and 4th half)

Also....If you know these records...don't call it out..I don't like doing these type of mixes because I've seen artist get popped because of these type of mixes..not everyone can afford to clear some of these loops.....thank you " .

You heard what the man said....Just enjoy the mix and don't try any slick shit and you should be straight HAHAHA....

" World Famous Supreme Team Interview "


C Divine and Just Allah ( The Supreme Team ) are true Hip Hop pioneers...On WHBI radio, they bumrushed the airwaves with the language of the " Gods And Earths " in the early 80's..

They eventually went on to recording their own music " Buffalo Girls ", " Duck Rock ", and one of my personal favorites " Hey D.J. "....

I recently spotted a interview with " C Divine " in cyberspace that is very thorough....You don't want to sleep on this one JACK...
Major respect to Troy L. Smith for being on point...100
