Brush the dust off the Jansport, turn up the volume, and let the debatery begin.

Pittsburgh duo Rec One and DJ Nugget are letting their affection for Premo‘s signature boom-bap sound be known to the world with their latest mix:

Rec One & DJ Nugget – Salute DJ Premier – Best of DJ Premier Part 1
DOWNLOAD THE MIX HERE

I can’t agree that all these tunes qualify for the label “Best of,” but, you know, opinions are like bad credit …

Regardless, it’s an interesting collection, and the mix is well put together:

*** It’s already been pointed out that this isn’t a Premier beat. But, Rec and Nugget put in work, so they get a pass.

Update: The mix was re-upped with the correct version of “Danger.” The download link and the playlist have been corrected.

Because, you know, even some masterpieces can be improved upon.

If you aren’t already aware of the hard work Roger Riley & Teddy Troutman have been putting into the game, GET FAMILIAR.

They are the future. No, they are beyond the future. They are at the bare, bleeding edge at the absolute end of the future. There is no more future after this.

N.E.R.D., Kanye and company wish they sounded this good.

touch&feel:radio is back!

After a three-year hiatus, DJ LIL TIGER has brought the radio podcast he started with MR. VISH back to life. And to celebrate the resurrection, he’s put together an hourlong Funky House (aka UK Funky) mix:

Full playlist and more info available at www.touchandfeel.org:

touch&feel:radio is a podcast founded by MR. VISH and DJ LIL TIGER that features a dirty-style blend of various types of soulful urban music from around the world. Genres include: Funky House/UK Funky, UK Garage, 2-Step, Broken Beat, Dancehall, Reggae, Soul, Grime, Jungle/Drum and Bass, Hip-Hop, House, Soca and whatever else suits our souls.

We began this little project in L.A. back in August of 2005, but life put the brakes on things a year later when Lil Tiger moved to NY to start a new life, and Mr. Vish moved back to Houston to attend to his family.

After a long break, though, it’s time to bring this baby back and get the music flowing once more. Thanks for sticking with us. Much more to come.

k.orr had intended to post this up a while ago, but things got lost in the shuffle due to technical difficulties. So, I’m resurrecting this post from the dead. ‘Cause everybody could use a little more BDK in their lives.

Ant Marshall, founder of Lyricist Lounge, put together this documentary on Hip-Hop legend Big Daddy Kane, aka The Smooth Operator aka the Baddest MC to Ever Touch a Mic.

I never got to see Kane in his prime, but I did have the pleasure of seeing him perform a few years back in Houston alongside Slick Rick, Whodini, Rob Base and Chubb Rock. Incredible show. Even as an elder statesman in the rap game, Kane brings a life and energy to the stage that many younger cats can only dream of. He’s a commanding presence, and a living legend. And he still puts it down.

You can catch the full documentary below, or watch it in slightly better quality on Scion’s Easy 10 Filmmaker Series site (they suck for not offering an embed code):
