Hmmmm… what can I say that hasn’t already been said about the hype surrounding this project. If you know this site for long enough, then you’ll know that keeping up to date with all that bloggy blogg hype is not our thing. BUT. When the shit is dope, then it’s …

Forgotten Treasure: Daft Punk “Aerodynamic” (Slum Village / Jay Dee Remix)
Can’t believe I’ve never shared this with all of you yet. Not that this J Dilla production is the rarest thing he’s ever done but it’s definitely one of the most interesting and there is quite a bit of controversy around this one amongst Dilla heads. The controversy lies in …
Mick Boogie “Excursions” ATCQ Mixtape
There is a pretty big ATCQ revival going on right now. Not that hip-hop heads ever forgot the significance of the Tribe but let’s just say that the whole Michael Rappaport documentary about them has generated a lof of hype. Mick Boogie, one of the US’ most active DJ’s on …

Future Classic: Pac Div “Fallin”
Not always the biggest fan of groups like Pac Div, Cool Kids, etc… They sometimes seen to be more known for the fresh gear they’re wearing rather than the actual music output. I do love this jam though, nice re-interpretation of Andre 3000’s “Prototype”.
Big Daddy Kane – The Documentary
I’m just a total sucker for music documentaries, put on something about the making of an album by a band I don’t even like and I’ll watch it. But this is just an absolutely essential watch for any hip-hop head. Big Daddy Kane was before my time and obviously, I …

20 years ago: A Tribe Called Quest “Low End Theory”
Every die hard music fan has one record that was an essential part in shaping their future taste. That one record for me is without a doubt “Low End Theory”. Although it came out in 1991, I came across it a little later when my cousin Jessica loaned me the …
