Go To Work feat. Pimps of Joytime - JBoogie's Dubtronic Science (Dj Eleven Remix)


Claps, snaps and lunch table boom baps. 

This morning I came across Dj Eleven's remix of "Go To Work feat. The Pimps of Joytime by J Boogie's Dubtronic Science. 

At first listen, it feels like a good night percolating with the promise of welcome consequences. Beckoning synths, sharply timed drum programing, and a clever vocal chop color the elevated feel of this track, then Eugene Tambourine's keys do work to take it there.  Hear we see a Dj Eleven that is reverently citing his sources of electric funk party music that set a thousand funky rap tunes in orbit... a wink backward to boogie forward.

Remixes are an exhibition of choices.  Dj Eleven made some damn good ones here.

Infact, he's celebrated for making excellent choices... night after night and on 11.11.11.

Josie Stingray - Got To Get It [video]



New video dope from Josie Stingray of The Honor Roll crew! Dope how she casually flexes brilliance and references to her devastating shoe game. Been one of my favorite MCs since I first heard her in 2007 or so...

Can't wait to release our collaborative project that's yet to be named. It's KILLING me to hold on to the first three tracks... nothing I've heard in the last few years is as well written, passionately delivered, and styled the f*ck out! If you're hungry for what rap has been missing... look no further. Trackademicks is jokingly listing it in the Honor Roll vault as "The adventures of Josie Maze and WillieStingray." Ha.

More soon!

Sprinkle East New York (Remix)

Just a quick remix/blend I made while making a mix to bring in the first day of Summer. Classic Group Home track with Dj Premier production meets my favorite E-40 verse with his sister Suga T.  While stylistically different, the tones and Summer-y feel of the production and playerlistic stylings of 40 Water and his sister somehow work and tonally compliment one another, so much that I thought I'd share. Not a game changer, but I like it, if only for a smile.

Laughed for the entire 15 minutes of design time for the graphic. Stay tuned...

Big up Vhils, aka Aleandre Farto and his cache of what I assume are shape charges.

Thanks Brent for spreading the good news.

TDK - Life On Record - Nas




This is dope, tapes were a way of life. TDK was ubiquitous in those days, as a brand of choice, but also in graffiti where I grew up near the 23rd street yards. Those yards were the center of Oakland's graffiti culture and inevitably someone, usually Dream, would hold court and tell stories and we'd end up listening and laughing rather than painting. Dope to hear Nas look back on the days when cassettes were the method of capturing and sharing music. Nas and TDK better hope the RIAA isn't listening.
