Peace all, the response to my DJ Mark The 45 King post has been so dope and you all know I appreciate your feedback and comments especially from my fellow bloggers like Travis from Wake Up Your Daughter and Dart from Poisonous Paragraphs, we are family Gods.
The infamous, the Notorious R.O.B. (uhhhhhhh...unkut.com....uhhhhhh) has posted up his interview with DJ Mark The 45 King,plus a few mp3 goodies.

I say we should declare July as 45 King month. :D
Also, the response to this compilation and the posts has been outstanding, thanks so much to all of you.
DJ Mark The 45 King was always one of my favourites, and as promised here is the first compilation of the great man's beats.
There is no doubt that you would have heard some or all of these before, but it doesn't matter, this is more for the young kids that want to know about Hip Hop's
rich past and might not have heard of the legend, the one and only DJ Mark The 45 King. .

Jaz,
Good looks on this 45 King stuff. Sorry I haven't been around more recently - the end of term is killing me.
I'll hit you by e-mail tomorrow.
Take it easy,
Dan
Thanks for getting back to me so fast, Jaz. Again, excellent blog!
Just checked it out and I must say it was refreshing to hear that 45 King sound, you know one can grow to appreciate the work you do at providing your insite on hip hop from the obscure perspective. There are many blogs but this is what yours unique!! I was hooked on one of my all time favorites the Markey Fresh jarn the King is here nothing tops that beat now that's raw. I always liked when he went raw he had some banging tracks.The Chill rob G Wild Pitch was another banger under the radar.And it's funny how Mark works well with the ladies hgh!! That Lyte joint exposes her vocals very well nice aint it? The Capri track aint bad either. Nice recollection here. Thanks again Jaz
My pleasure and good looking on the comments and feedback.
What? Even MORE 45 King heat? Dayum! You are doing the Lord's work here, sir.
Oh yeah, Poisonous Paragraphs is back!

45 King was the shit for sure. Totally underreated. When you get a chance Jaz, toss a link in my inbox, I'd appreciate it.
Good lookin'
I've always thought that DJ Mark's sound was a perfect match for Queen Latifah's vocals. Raw & soulful at the same time.
Does anyone know - did he choose "45 King" as a nickname b/c he used a lot of 45's for samples? Or was it just a cool name?
word to big bird, this comp you put together is - as we said back in the day - "funky fresh". many many props.

Hi Jaz,
thanks for the 45 King-Stuff and for your great blog. I'm desperately chasing for a Remix the 45 King did for Sade way back in 88 or 89. Once I found the 12" but mised to buy it and know I forgott the name of the tune. I'd appreciate any disocgraphy of the King.
Nice Regards from Germany
Toby
