The legendary Bronx bombers Showbiz & AGare thankfully still at it and are releasing a dope album before the album "Mug Shot Music" titled "Preloaded" this LP is set for release in May 2012, the great news is that this will be a free download and includes" God Is 4 Us", "South Bronx Shit" and "Suspended Animation" and as one lucky listener I can attest to this album being one you will be bumping loud through out the year...peep the new single here...
Wooooooaaaaahhhh this one was kept mad quiet...but I am glad it was...because it flipped my wig and was nice little surprise from Chopped Herring Records.
So what we have here is unreleased material circa 1992-1993 from the mighty Strong Island legends JVC Force that has never seen the light of day until now and personally after the classic dope that was "Big Trax EP" on Big Beat back in '92, I always hoped that their third and lost album or at least some material would surface at some stage, AJ Rok even told me he had some tracks in the vaults that he hoped would see the light of day and here we have this tasty morsel that is...
So, here's the coup, the first 75 copies are on PLATINUM vinyl and the NEXT 75 copies are on GOLD vinyl . If you want GOLD and you are in the first 75 we can do that, just state your colour preference when you make order and we'll get back to you to confirm you got the one you wanted. The rest (150 copies) will be pressed on traditional BLACK vinyl. It's first come first served, so when they are sold out that's it....
Price: 29.99GBP per copy + shipping (from France)
Shipping: We will be shipping as soon as they arrive back from the plant, which should be roughly 1st week in May.
In celebration of the legendary Teacha visiting New Zealand shores for the first time ever in April 2012....I have set out to make some compilations showcasing some fat and dope Hip Hop tracks that have sampled the veterans tracks and vocals for hooks and cuts.
KRS had been sampled hundreds and hundreds of times by all kind of artists, I (including myself back in the days on a lost demo) I have always seen sampling or cutting up another artist as a form of great respect and you know that Kris Parker has always had that in abundance.
I think this first 20 track compilation bears witness to the immense influence he has had on Hip Hop for a long time...enjoy.
Mad love to all of my CRDS readers and many thanks for the e-mails I have been getting from longtime fans of the blog, it's really quite humbling...alright so it's a chilled Friday night after a busy week at work, a nice cider, some nibbles and a BDP compilation in my headphones, sounding lovely and getting me more and more hyped for the upcomingKRS One tour next month in Wellington (I was just listening to "Criminal Minded" and remember that the MVC Posse and myself once did a sting for the Weds Nite Jam over a sample of that back in the days, I don't have it anymore so I can't share it but I will always have the memories) not to mention a couple of dope gigs I have upcoming with my crew Evil Mulein April and May.
So without further ado, here are some things I would appreciate you paying attention too...
Apollo Brown, Black Milk, Gensu Dean,illMind,Nick Tha 1Da,
Georgia Anne Muldrow, Def Dee, and Dunc of DTMD.
And new vocal tracks from
OC, Boog Brown, Wise Intelligent, Black Milk,yU, Kenn Starr,
Oddisee,Finale, Hassaan Mackey, Roc Marciano, Toine of DTMD, and Stik Figa.
