We are back with a new show full of some of the strongest music ever! We got joints from the new Bone Thugs In Harmony, "The Magnificent" Jazzy Jeff w/Jean Grae, DIVISION X( a group who had me open at their live show as one of the opening acts during the Large Professor tribute last month), and rare gems from Grand Puba, Akinyele, Organized Konfusion and the Fushinickens. I open the show with a hot breakbeat mix by SOULBROTHA, a DJ/production team from Germany. Their sound is strictly dusty grooves and classic samplers-NO synths. One emcee in particular had my ears on fire this week and that was BEKAY. Bekay is one of the Rawkus 50 for 2007. I was checking his Rawkus page and I came across his incredible flip of Xzibit's "Paparrazzi" beat. He calls it Acts Of Shame and we got it on the show. Bekay has documented his crazy journey in this great short film, "Bekay Blowing Up?!?"
Mother's day is this Sunday so I dug up YoYo's "Mama Don't Take No Mess" in tribute. I also dedicated another hot track by TRAEDONYA-"Beloved". Traedonya has a full, rich voice and the song is reminiscent of an 80's Grace Jones vibe. Check the video:
The next few shows are going to be crazy and look for our unsigned and independent showcase due Memorial Day weekend.
Enjoy:
