To whom it may concern. I’ll be damned, it’s noon and already 10 texts deep. $1.50. I don’t like repeating myself. I really really don’t. I only do that when a first attempt at. […]

I am glad to say that I was wrong. The Ball Street Journal is another banger, maintaining the winning streak at 14 albums. I’ll still tell you that “Wake It Up,” and “Give Her. […]

It is almost two years ago to the day that I conducted one of my favorite interviews, with one of my favorite producers (and I mean that in the truest musical sense) ever, Khayree. For a bunch of diff. […]

I picked up a side job writing bios for the Bay Area based label Ehustl (major propers to Michelle from Audible Treats for the hook!). At the moment, I’m piecing together a little something for. […]

I was dumb enough to think that the Akon laced “Wake It Up” was a supplement for a T-Pain appearance. I want to blame Warner for this bullshit, but I also have to put some of it on 40. He&. […]

I think I first heard this at a party out in the North Bay. My homies out there always copped all the new mixtapes so every time I would trek up there to paint, I'd bring a few blanks and try to dub a. […]

Sometimes scrounging up tapes to record radio shows would lead to desperate measures. Spending too long searching for a C-90 could mean the difference between catching a white label pressed in the hun. […]

I’m pretty sure whoever played the keyboard chimes on the chorus for this one was drunk. That shit is like three-wheel motion on a u-turn, spillin’ So Co and orange Fanta out your Solo cup onto yo. […]

Once a year the Record Man in Redwood City, CA holds his parking lot sale. They set up a bunch of tents and tables and pile boxes filled with tens of thousands of lp's and twelve inches on em. Obvious. […]

I mentioned this record in INFLATION OF POCKSECTOMY, so I figured it was only right to let you scabby-headed arcade orphans hear it. I couldn't believe a dude from San Jo got signed to Luke Skyywalker. […]

Before he was known for wearing wrestling masks and hanging with Kool Keith, Kutmasta Kurt was known to all real heads in the broadcast range of 90.1 FM KZSU's signal as the man helming the click clac. […]

In contrast to the Rip One tape is this 1996 tape from Seattle’s DJ B-Mello. “Blowin’ Up Worldwide Part 1” is more of a live DJ mix style joint. B-Mello drops a lot of the underground staples. […]

Here's a great example of a 4 track produced, megamix style tape from SoCal's DJ Rip One. Seamless mixes of mid 90's gems with tons of layered scratching. Tapes like these were a labor of love, slaved. […]

I got a bug up my ass yesterday and started digging through a bag of old tapes. Remember when you used to accumulate tapes to the point where you had a fucking grocery bag full of em? No cases, sticke. […]
