Being that the world is going through a pandemic right now already makes this mix memorable for me. I know we're all going through a rough time right now so I'm here to spread some some love to help you get through. Mint Condition is without a doubt my favorite R&B group from the 90's. They're like The Roots of R&B with a full band. I put together some of my favorite selections and hopefully they're some of yours too. Or maybe even hear something you've never heard before. I know I'll...

Took it back to how I started on this one. Went back and recorded using the vinyl record crates that I used to DJ parties with before I switched to digital. Using these songs and the actual records brings me back to the days I don't miss when I'd have to lug around a whole bunch of heavy crates and a DJ coffin. My back hurts just thinking about it. This mix feels like a time capsule for real. Shouts to my Kuya Tribe bros DJ Kuya D and DJ Delinger who came through on this one. Till next time....

Back again with another original sample mix. This time showcasing the dynamic duo of Freddie Gibbs & Madlib. These guys are easily becoming one of my favorite duos of all time.  *For Promotional Use Only Waiting - Deniece Williams Lakers - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Practice - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Make It On Your Way - Donny Hathaway Harold's - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Let Me Be The First To Know - Rose Royce A Fool For You - The Ledgends Deeper - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Knicks...

I put this mix out two years ago on cassette. Special thank you to all of you who purchased it from me. I've since sold out of all my copies twice over. Since it's Summer I decided to let the entire mix go for everybody to enjoy. All I ask is that you spread the word and hook up the 5 stars on the Apple Podcast app or leave good feedback on the Podbean.  Enjoy the Summer.  *For Promotional Use Only Officially Missing You - Tamia b/w Teddy's Jam & Rumpshaker Remember The Time - Michael...

This is random. As a fan I got excited that Little Brother reunited on stage. Not sure what that means for the future but that's definitely a step in the right direction. Anyways, I started listening to joints and eventually just hit record and went in. This is what came out. Spontaneous. Hope you feel it.   A Child Is Born – Tony Rice Unit That Girl Blend – Pharrell The Way You Do It – Little Brother Shake It – Little Brother Don’t You Have A Man – Drake feat. Little Brother &...

Q-Tip is possibly my favorite artist. I've learned so much from just studying his catalog over the years. Without his influence, my personal taste and every way I perceive music would be totally different. So with Summer upon us I just felt like doing something fun and paying homage to the legend while we all wait for the new album to come out.  Hope you like it. Intro I like It Blend - Jomanda To Each His Own - INI Gettin Up - Q-Tip Electric Relaxation - A Tribe Called Quest Let's...

It's been a long time I know I know. But I'm finally back and here for good. It's been a few years since I dropped a slow jam mix. With Valentine's Day around the corner I figured it's a good time for a new one. 2017 was a busy year of me trying to work on my production chops and I'm still working on it. But I'm definitely going to keep feeding the streets with mixes more frequently again because I'm a DJ first.  Hope you guys enjoy this latest mix and thanks for still listening. Nothing...

This is the B side of a mix I released earlier this Summer on cassette. Hip Hop and R&B blends boom bap style like I usually do. Enjoy.  

Back again with another mix for you guys.  With all the craziness going on in the world these days I just wanted to come with something fun for Summer.  If this mix can make you forget about your problems, make you dance, laugh or smile then I did my job.  Here's to Summer or play this when you just want it to feel like it's Summer.

Back again.  This time around I decided to come with an instrumental homage to the legendary Soul Brother #1 Pete Rock.  Lately I've just been tired of what I hear on the radio and just needed a dose of soul.  So who better than the Chocolate Boy Wonder.  All these beats are mixed together so you can have the longest freestyle session or DJ's can cut to this all the way through.  Can't provide a track listing because some of these beats just don't have names.  Anyways enjoy and I'll see you...

Finally back and this time around just wanted to spread some love to all of you the best way I know how.  Put together this short set to take you through the ups and downs of love.  Hope you can relate.  

Finally back again.  This time around I'm focusing on the legendary DJ Premier.  I remember buying whole albums as a kid just to hear the one track DJ Premier produced.  Anyways take a listen and hopfully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.  

This mix is just how I'm feeling at the moment.  A little mix of songs that I'm personally into where we can all just stop, relax and take time to enjoy these Summer nights.  Enjoy.  

It's been a minute since I made something new but this one is different.  As a kid listening to mixtapes, I always loved listening to blends.  It was always amazed me how a different beat to a song can give it new life and a whole different feel.  So this mix is basically me paying homage to all the blend tape DJ's that came before me and putting my own twist to it.  I won't even list the beats blended to kind of give an element of surprise.

Mos Def is undoubtedly a legend and all time great in the rap game.  As pure a lyricist as they come with plenty of style to match.  I make single artist mixes as a way of paying homage to all of the artists and musicians that I listen to and respect so this one was long overdue.  If you're not familiar with the man's catalog here's a nice little run through some of his choice cuts to get you familiar.  This one's for Brooklyn.   

  It's getting cold out here in the east coast.  Figured it'd be a good time to drop some smooth relaxing tunes for those cold nights and late night drives.    

There's not a lot of new school rappers that I'm a fan of these days.  But this guy Kendrick Lamar is an obvious exception.  The man is a brilliant writer, has a great sense of history, and really understands what Hip Hop is all about.  So here's my tribute to showcase not only Kendrick's catalog but the samples that made the songs possible. 

The official start to Summer is this weekend and I felt like giving you guys a little something to get you ready.  Play this at the beach, picnics, or even just to feel like you're at the beach when you're really at work.  Enjoy everybody!  

Back again with another installment of the Behind The Beat series which showcases original samples used in Hip Hop.  This time around I decided to focus on the brilliant ear of 9th Wonder.  9th has been one of my favorites pretty much since Little Brother's The Listening dropped almost 10 years ago.  Since then he's went on to producer for everybody from Jay-Z, Destiny's Child, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Ludacris, and the list goes on and on.  So here's a selection of some of my favorite...

Jay Dee.  J Dilla.  The man is absolutely the greatest Hip Hop producer to ever do it.  This man's music has inspired me like no other.  I made this short mix to share something new for Dilla Month.  

D'Angelo is without a doubt my favorite R&B artist of this generation.  In every sense, the man is a true artist.  He's the total package.  I remember hearing an interview from the late great J Dilla and he was speaking about how he can play, but the way D'Angelo plays is just out of this world.  On a talent scale you wouldn't be far fetched to compare him to Stevie Wonder.  He's just that good.  If you watch his live performances you'll hear not just women but grown men just losing it to...

Happy holidays everybody!  Being that it's winter time, I figured it'd be a good time to drop a sequel to my Hoodies And Timbs mix.  I was raised on that gritty street life boom bap rap and that type of music always makes me picture cold weather and city life.  So put on a Champion hoodie and butter Timberlands and rock to this.  Don't forget the 5 star iTunes rating please.  See you in 2014.
