" Scratch The Surface Steez "



Just got done listening to this Wildelux remix jump off "Scratch The Surface"....

Dude is kinda nice with the storytelling skills, vocab, flows, and he also has the ability to stick to a topic throughout the duration of an entire song (rare these days)..

Be on the lookout for the Wildelux & DJ Lord Ron project in the near future...


" Lord Digga Speaks "



"Lord Digga the microphone mutilator ready to mash motherfuckers like potatoes / I dare a punk to diss me because I spit on spectators"....

The man behind those explosive bars is the special guest on the latest broadcast of "Classic Storm Radio" with DJ Toshi.....

God damn, this interview is straight up hilarious....

It sounds as if everyone in the room inhaled a trailer load of heavy smoke before hitting the record button....HAHA..

You will also hear new music from Craig G, Liknuts, Large Pro, Sadat X, and a couple freestyles from the former INC member (my only complaint is that Toshi is a little sloppy on some of the blends HAHA)...

" AZ & Cormega : Murder On The Daily "



AZ & Cormega joined forces for the freshest cut on Boomshell's 2011 album "The Premix"...

With chemistry like this, it would make perfect sense for the deadly duo to drop a full length project..

"Murder On the Daily" - Produced by Boomshell..

" New Shit On Deck "



This mix starts off a little slow, but things start moving in the right direction quickly...

PEEP.

"DJ Soko is 1/3 of hip hop group The Left with Detroit producer Apollo Brown and Detroit emcee Journalist 103 whom released the DJ Premier Top 25 Hip Hop Albums of 2010 certified “Gas Mask” album on Mello Music Group. A limited edition 7″ vinyl record entitled Stand Up followed up to that.
This same-titled mix follows that flow with raw boom bap by the likes of Oh No, Nas, Showbiz & AG, Apollo Brown, House Shoes, OC & more hip hop heroes.

Currently DJ Soko is working on a project which features Guilty Simpson, Apollo Brown, Hassaan Mackey, Kaimbr, Sean Born, Gensu Dean, Rashid Hadee, and more. Get one of the very last vinyl copies of the Stand Up single here and stream/download Soko’s killer mix below".

" CM Mob Shit "




Kurious has a new project up his sleeves with Ray West "Luv NY"... The album features cameos from Roc Marciano, Kool Keith, AG, etc...

Peep the trailer cousin...

" Salute "



For some strange reason I turned on the news when I first woke up yesterday morning (ironically it was the second time I celebrated Fathers Day with a son of my own) to find out that Rodney King supposedly drowned in his own swimming pool...

CRAZY SHIT...

His uncivilized / barbaric beating at the hands of the LAPD, will go down as one of those moments in America that truly unveiled how racism still exist among us..

Some might try to crack cornball jokes and all that, but you gotta give "RK" a salute for trying to carry on with his life despite the cruelty that was dished out to him (Willie Dee even had a song called "Fuck Rodney King" which included fake beatdowns, death threats, and all types of fuckery)...

Shit is far from a joke..

Unarmed brothers are getting smoked all across the country....It's becoming so commonplace that some have become desensitized and actually accept this type of shit..

I'm not trying to get on my SOAPBOX or anything, I just can't believe things haven't really changed for the better after such a horrible incident....

We will all never get along, but we need to at least respect one another...

" More Boom Shots "



Before Elephant Man lost his mind , he was a member of the rugged 'Scare Dem Crew" outfit along with Nitty Kutchie, Harry Toddler, Bounty Killer, and Boom Dandimite..

Out of all the material they dropped "Scared From The Crypt" is the winner for me...Crazy amounts of gun talk, tales of putting the squeeze on rivals, crashing gates, and keeping it gully is the Modus Operandi on this one..

So crack that Red Stripe and go for yours rudeboy !!!

"Shotta"



" Bad Man Nah Dress Like Girl"



"A Who"



" Golden State Warriors, Part 4 "



The good folks over at OKP caught up with half of the Pharcyde (Imani & Booty Brown) to chop it up about current projects, fighting for the rights of the "Pharcyde" name, why the group split, Industry Rule 4080, and all types of other shit that will hold your attention..

"Once the group’s popularity grew and the shows and tours began to pick up, one group member tried to play more of the Diana Ross role as the quartet’s front man. (“He wanted it to be Fatlip and the Pharcyde,” says Brown.) Fatlip was also somewhat of a wildcard, with the remaining members of the group not knowing whether he would appear for a show, or steal from other acts they were overseas on tour with, both of which took place on more than one occasion.

Some time after the mostly Jay Dee-produced Labcabincalifornia became the dream sophomore follow-up, tensions between Fatlip and the group caused Tré to urge Brown and Imani to push ‘Lip out. Due to his solo career aspirations, however, the excommunication proved to be less than difficult, as Fatlip left willingly.

With Fatlip’s departure came Tré’s turn to take the superstar route. (“He got on some, ‘Man, I ain’t really got time to deal with this shit, you can talk to my manager,’” says Imani.) Tré would be absent from rehearsals, late for show dates, etc".

" Real Live Shit : DJ 10Shun "



San Diego, California's DJ Tenshun deserves his proper due for keeping it extra filthy, pressing up his own records and tapes, making his own laser disc burner, staying true to his DIY roots, and making sure his sound remains unapologetically original..

On this interesting live mix from last year, he played a wide range of breaks (Son of Jarel Vs. Tenshun) in a seamless avalanche of chaos...It starts kinda slow, but things pick up rather quickly...

And while your at it peep the visuals of this short documentary, "Slang Yourself"......ILLNESS INDEED..

" Ken Swift & Rob Swift Drop Jewelry "



The legendary B Boy monster "Ken Swift" recently caught up with Mr. Rob Swift to talk Hip Hop history 101, breakbeats, staying in shape, etc..

"Rob Swift: Over the years music has vastly changed. The “break” part of a record is a thing of the past. I can’t thing of one song, Rap, Rock, Soul or R&B, that’s out today which contains the classic “break”. Is there modern music that exists today that ya’ll rock the floor to or do you go “way back, back into time” for the inspiration to dance?

Ken Swift: I like classics, they always bring me right back there mentally and physically, my dancing can be good and or great depending on that one moment where the songs hits you in the right way at the right time. Ive heard pretty cool stuff as I travel but Im not sure if the songs are old or new at times. Ultimately, If something has that real nice feel to it, Im gonna get down".

" Respect The Vets : Killa Sha "



It's Friday so you know what that means....

Bar fights, sloppy drunk weekend warriors, scheming stick up kids on the avenue, more police on the block, steam in the air, and all that other wild shit...

Tonight I will be destroying the turntables along with State, Planet Rocker, and Fooders for my man Kufue Onerz art show (Pics next week)...

Anyway, this mixtape "Acknowledge The Vet" has been in my rotation for two years straight...

WHY ?

Thorough rhymes, top notch beat selection, raw hunger, conviction, and that special dirty QB spice that Killa Sha dealt with....Salute and Rest In Peace to that brother...

" Drasar Monumental Remix Action "



Hip Hop Battlefield has been up and running for almost five years at this point...

Interviews (King Shameek, Phil Most Chill, Paris, Selfish, my dude MF Grimm, etc), jokes, reviews, under the radar cuts, secret society breaks, our Battlefield Funk Radio Show (be on the lookout for another broadcast soon) and my own mixes, projects, and rugged remixes...

I don't have any plans on stopping the bumrush - so stay tuned for more wreck...

Currently I am nestled up in the lab tinkering away at beats for an upcoming full length with a certified NYC hardcore Hip Hop legend (You will get that by the end of Summer I am predicting)...So it's needless to say that I won't be dropping any more remixes on the BATTLEFIELD until that project is wrapped up...

So I dug in the BATTLEFIELD files and found one of my remixes that you might have missed, Grand Daddy I.U. "Slinging Bass"....

" If a brother test I'm going to check the fool / I'm from the old school, I take my respect with a tool ".

HARDCORE HIP HOP WILL NEVER DIE !!!

" Sample Source Shit "



I'm quite sure I posted 1-5 from FB's "Used" sample source mixes, so it's only right that I give number six a post as well...

All you Hip Hop junkies can play "Name That Tune" for over an hour if your in that type of mood..

HAHA..

Take a listen trooper..

" D.I.T.C. 2012 "



AG, Showbiz, and O.C. took time out recently to chop it up heavy with H.H.A to discuss upcoming projects, why Showbiz decided to stop rhyming on tracks, the loss of Big-L, new DITC material, etc...

" HHA: I had talked through email to you manager Jason, and he said you all had gotten together for a beat listening session. Were you guys all in the room at once?

Show: Yeah, that was nice, that was nice.

O.C.: Yeah yeah, we had a lot of those since then.

HHA: Have you guys gone in the lab together and recorded the songs, or is it more you are doing it on your own time?

A.G.: The time we had came together, the times we have come together as one in the studio, we basically liked the beats together and picked beats to use for the project together. You know, as ideas come along we run then by each other, so it’s just a work in progress and we definitely knocking it out, but right now we got the O.C. and A.G. Oasis Part II, we got the Show and A Mugshot, and we’re going to throw another Mugshot album out before the Mugshot album comes out. So we in the studio a lot, and we’re recording a lot, and we’re doing everything at the same time: The Diggin’ shit, the Oasis shit, the Show and A.G. shit, the O.C. shit. So, like O said, we just working, and nothing has a particular title right now; it’s just work and we’ll figure it out where it goes as it goes along like Show said.

HHA: Are all the members in the unit right now, or is Fat Joe still not involved?

Show: Nah, Fat Joe’s not involved right now.

HHA: So it’s all the other members of the crew now?

Show: Yeah, everybody’s involved

HHA: Will we hear more of (Lord) Finesse on the D.I.T.C. stuff in terms of rapping? It’s been a while since we heard him.

Show: The question remains. Hold that to the question remains. Finesse is going to get back on the mic but it’s been a long time that he had an album out, so he’s going to get on when he’s ready to shake his ass; he’s going to get on and do what he do. Til then, we holding it down for him ".

" Nightbreed Steez "


After "Ka" left Natural Elements he was in a group called NIGHTBREED with a cat named Kev...

Not to be confused with the other Nitebreed that rocked more of a horrorcore steez ("Meditations on Death" is my favorite cut from THAT crew, go track that one down if you know what's best for you)...

Anyway, if you carefully listen to "Grief Pedigree" you can tell that Ka has put in a lot of work with his pen game...The NIGHTBREED material isn't half bad, but you can definitely hear a Mobb Deep influence in their approach...

All cuts produced by Charlemagne..

"Long Time Coming"



"Two Roads Out the Ghetto"
