Brand new mix from Sober and A1 for free download. I just checked the mix and it's great to bump in your earbuds to the whip. Make sure you head over to Decade and download it there!
Join Sober and myself in Austin @ Wahoos this Thursday for NEW YEARS EVE!!! Guaranteed great times!! We have played this party the past 3 years and has been insane every time! Big shouts to Dirty Bill, Jordan, and the whole Wahoos' crew!
Happy holidays to everyone who checks the blog. I just wanted to share these 2 recent holiday tunes from Mavado & Vybz. If you didn't know the Gully (Mavado camp) & Gaza (Vybz camp) have been lyrically waring over the past year. They have recently both ended the beef just 2 weeks ago. Enjoy.
My homie Dayta put me on to this video a few weeks ago. Here is a little about it from NO MAS.
In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years weve heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.
Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.

This was taken from dutty artz blog...
Somebody call Kanye and tell him to say somethin stupid.
Buzzrock Warrior was just awarded Best Reggae Album 2009 by iTunes in both US and Germany. BRAGADAPS!!!!
These recently came out and are designed by the legendary "BOBBITO GARCIA". With all the new styles of kicks coming out and loud colors, these are a refreshing change. To someone now they might look a little plain or basic, but these shoes are HEAT! Especially in the details adding a gold Bobbito stamp on the side and "EL BARRIO" on the back. Paying homage to all the great ball players from Spanish Harlem. So, if you are looking to get me something for the holidays.. then you know what to do.
The Caribbean Grill is celebrating 12 years of business this Saturday! I can't make it that night, but I've had lots of great memories at "di grill". Support real music and support local business... (they have a amazing kitchen). Big up the whole Caribbean Grill staff and dj's !! Laden and Select (Caribbean Grill 09) Chino (BIG SHIP Caribbean Grill 09) King Yellowman, Select, & Dj Playboy (Caribbean Grill 09) Let me look for some of my "old" photos.... real throwbacks!...
Tune in every week for a new episode of FEDERATION INVASION (clickcaster link). I will say I've been tuning in for a long time now, since summer/fall of 07'. Every episode Max Glazer & Kenny Meez never disappoint! Recently while cleaning up my Mac I had to delete mad old episodes......tooo many on the hard drive!! But go ahead bookmark the link, and make sure you go and visit FEDERATION SOUND. BIG UP MAX GLAZER, KENNY MEEZ, ALRIC & BOYD, & DISCO D (RIP).
This car collab came out a few months ago and I'm assuming you have all ready seen this. If not, Jeff STAPLE along with KIA collaborated together on a KIA SOUL. The results turned out really nice. If anyone knows me well you all ready know I HATE CARS. (cash black hole) But if I had the option of picking a brand new car right now based on looks alone I think this would get my choice. Great design idea of incorporating a rain camo into the paint scheme of this car (SOUL). STAPLE all ways on the design tip, and all ways doing it real proper.
Every Wednesday join Dj's Playboy , Josh, and Select at Zubar.

If any of you readers are Wu fans like myself I'm sure you are ready for this album to happen. With recent releases from Raekwon and Ghostface, which are both solid albums. This will be a great addition to the Wu legacy. They have released these 3 trailors to promote the album. Which are all inspired by the classic David Fincher flick "Seven". part 1 part 2 part 3
THE WU MASSACRE DEC 22ND METHOD MAN :: GHOSTFACE :: RAEKWON
This looks like a great event to make it out or even trek down to Houston for. Shouts to my dude DJ SUN , for being 1 of the most humble and creative people I've met in Texas ever! I randomly met him about a year ago @ Waterloo records and he blessed me with copies of his single DUBAI & PARA. Which you can purchase at GIGA CRATE, big up Nick Nack!!
Plus don't forget the special guest of the event is CUT CHEMIST A LITTLE ON THE EVENT... Red Bull 45s - an event that takes a piece of record history and remixes it into an innovative evolution of the traditional DJ competition. The event pays tribute to yesteryear by tasking DJs with competing against each other using only the 7-inch 45 rpm records popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The competition format places four DJs in four opposite corners of the venue, with the crowd in the middle. Each DJ spins for no more than four minutes on 45 rpm records, with each subsequent DJ attempting to match the last beat of the previous DJ - without the help of any beat-matching programs. The goal of the event is to revive the once revered 45 rpm record while tasking DJs to use all their imagination and expertise to create a seamless and continuous flow of music. At the end of the event, one DJ will be declared the winner based on both his musical creativity and technical skill.
Opening DJ- Ceeplus Bad Knives Featuring- DJ Sun, The Are, DJ John Doe, Brett Koshkin Special Guest- Cut Chemist!
December 18, 2009 Doors open at 8PM Show starts at 10PM
Check this video my dude KIDDRAE just put together.. by the looks of it there is going to be more and this could possibly be a longer video.. Not really sure, but I like what he has produced so far!
-be on the look out for an exclusive KIDDRAE and Select photos to come real soon.
Big up my friends over @ "HOT FLASH", they are celebrating a 3 year anniversary! My dude Joel (Killtron) has come a long way over the last 3 years and has joined with great talent Schwa & Genova. Richard Henry is another homie of mine and will be joining them on this party...so if your around you should go!
I've got to say I'm a real picky dude. Sometimes it takes a lot to impress me and sometimes people don't really get it..... but I'll say that this mix-tape is everything and more! I've had this on non stop rotation lately... *(I'm not gassing anyone up right now)* In fact I played this at a local record swap this past weekend and everyone was big-ing the mix up! Shouts to Iron Lyon for this mix-tape! I briefly met him this past summer in New York @ Tuff Tuesdays. Also big up the man OSCAR !! 1/2 of the creators of the 1992 party ! If you seen me with one the panel caps on this is where it came from. Some of you might cash in on the idea of a 90's party, but if you didn't live it or understand the vibes it's hard to portray in my opinion...
here is a few flicks so you get the idea.... DOWNLOAD
Every Thursday from 5-10pm I'll be here @ THE GEISHA HOUSE. It's called "THREE SOME THURSDAYS" for the $3 dollar drink specials. (lots of choices including sake) The past few weeks have been really great! Expect to hear me in the mix with a lot of soul, funk, hip hop, & reggae. I hope to see some of you people out!!!!
Greetings all my friends! We are back for another edition of "THE TAKEOVER". If you have or haven't been to one of our parties we welcome you to stop inn! Dj Leo and myself throw this party once a month @ Zubar. If your wondering what to expect ... just imagine walking in and hearing classic Hip Hop you grew up with mixed with some classic Latin tunes (Salsa, meringue , bachata) along side some classic reggae. Don't get it twisted we love to switch the vibes up and play all types of music!!
This Friday we hold the "HOLIDAY ESPECIAL" which we will be excepting donations for our good friend Inyang. He is a cousin, a friend, a mentor, and a good dude! He recently suffered multiple blood clots and while this was all happening a small stroke. He is out of the hospital and is making a speedy recovery. During all of this he was unable to work and is faced with medical bills (thanks American healthcare). Please stop by and donate even if it's $5, anything will help.
We are donating all proceeds to our Calidad Entertainment fam, Inyang Castro. He was hospitalized from 12 October - 13 November 2009 with multiple blood clots. One of which was in his brain and cause...d him to have a stroke. If you can make it out even for 15 minutes, we would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your support and respect due to all who have supported The Takeover since we started in July. Peace!
Brand new video from "CHINO", from his hit tune "FROM MAWNING - NEVER CHANGE". I had a chance to see Chino perform with Laden and his father Freddie McGregor over the summer. All I can say is "BIG SHIP" !!!!!! Chino & Laden are both personal favorites of mine ... so def keep your ear to the streets!!
and if you don't know what I'm talking about then this is for you....
