Pressure Busts Pipes - OUT NOW

2011-02-08T08:25:00.000-08:00

“Pressure Busts Pipes” is a conceptual mixtape/album project I put together to showcase some of my production. The project came about after becoming frustrated with the traditional beat shopping process and trying to find a more creative way to showcase my beat-making skills and prove to myself (if no one else) that I could produce an album all the way through, song for song, with a cohesive sound and a cinematic concept that is consistent with the sound of the albums I came up on as a native NY 90’s Hip-Hopper and in line with the music I have supported throughout my 15+ years as a DJ.

A few of the songs are straight accapellas I found on the web or in my record collection, but most of them were exclusively sent to me by the artists themselves with a green light to remix and 2 or 3 are original studio recordings. The goal with everything I do is to craft a sonic experience more than just a mixtape or remixing a few songs, so I hope you download the whole thing and listen from start to finish as it was intended.

This project took over a year to make and I got blessed by a lot of good people in various ways while making it so I have to say thanks to my wife and son 1st and foremost (the foundation), my mother (R.I.P.), Tom & Corey, Dres of Black Sheep, X-Ray the Mindbenda, D-Smooth & Urbansoul Music Group, AG of D.I.T.C., 950 Plus, Jay Bee, King Phaze, Julien Frank, Nasty North, Finsta, Prospek, Skratchmo, Too Kool Tony, Lionel Splifkin, Hip Hop Philosophy, Nasty North, C-Rayz Walz, , Uppanotch, K.I.M. Studios, The Blue Room, Tom Delay and BrakeFast Records, Dirt Platoon and my man Impulss …look out for our collab album next...Peace

The Silver Album - (Jay-Z vs RJD2)

2010-12-03T07:35:00.000-08:00

Finally here! This is one of my most successful projects for obvious reasons, but I am really proud of this one. Not much to say, I had an idea during the whole Jay-Z Black album remix craze and turned it into what many think is one of the best of the crop which is saying a lot because there were some good ones. I was just a big fan of RJ at the time and have always had a knack for matching accapellas well with other beats, plus I had already done the PSA remix for a previous mix CD before the Black album remixes started coming out and thought what if I just continued further with that idea and this is what came out...

02 - December 4th (Cannibal Ox - 'The F Word remix')
03 - What More Can I Say (Soul Position - 'Right Place, Wrong Time')

Come out to party with the Monsta Island Czars as the crew reunites and gets ready to record a new album fresh for 2011. On Friday October 29th 2010 We present to you the Monsta Mash Halloween party at The BK Loft 300 Douglass street Brooklyn NY. Performing live the Monsta Island Czars and uppanotch with special guest GYP with Bazooka Joe and X-Ray on the wheels of steel for those of you not familiar with M.I.C. here’s a snip it from a review of their album “ESCAPE FORM MONSTA ISLAND”

MF Doom has mastered the art of the concept album and has become one of the most creative and hard-working artists in hip-hop today. Releasing album after album under different names, MF Doom has joined forces with MF Grimm and more to create Monsta Island Czars aka M.I.C. Originally Zev Love-X of the group KMD, MF Doom has grown to become one of hip-hop’s most enigmatic emcees. His very good friend and fellow emcee, MF Grimm, was locked up during recording and was unable to participate in the project (even though he was the man who had the idea that all of them should team up.) Monsta Island Czars is a collection of hungry underground emcees who have traded their usual names for monsters from old science fiction movies. MF Doom is King Ghidra. MF Grimm is Jet Jaguar. KD (aka Kwite Def) is Kamackeris. X-ray is King Caesar. The others (Megalon, Kong, Rodan, Spiga, and Gigan) all keep their original names because they started out as members. With production handled by X-Ray (King Caesar) and MF Doom (King Ghidra), the concept album Escape From Monsta Island is 20 tracks of hardcore, underground, hungry, creative hip-hop. Sometimes, the deliveries are lightning-fast while others just have that straight hunger. Both on-beat and off-beat, these emcees attack your brain just like prehistoric monsters feeding on major cities.

For those of you not familiar with UPPANOTCH The Time is Now

Danon and Hosannah combine science with sociology to bring the caliber of hip hop UPPANOTCH. Danon is a Queens native with a sharp tongue capable of decimating a speaker. You can feel his life experience in his rhymes, and he’s gifted in everything from the art of story telling to straight lyrical spitfire: "could take six bars, make it an anthem- F the SOURCE I want my face on the moon, like Ralph Kramden- these ain’t delusions of grandeur- hat tilted like black panthers, the flow is chemotherapy- guess the beat is the cancer." Hosannah was born in England , and came to New York in ’83. Raised by hip hop, the kid is slick with the gift. The word play is ridiculous- pay attention, you might miss su’m Hosannah finds a way to hold the track hostage- he’d rather surround it than be on top of it: "Link subjects through rough text- pen a curse on a scroll and have the verse plaguing listeners I provide the spirit through words that grasps parishioners and make em give ten percent of they folds to buy innocence." Danon and Hosannah use different rhyme style and technique to touch your eardrums. Pay close attention to their talent on the debut album, entitled: NO GREATER LOVE and the forthcoming LP, ELEVEN.

CREDIT IS DUE (R.I.P. GURU)

2010-04-26T18:20:00.000-07:00

Last week I did what every other respectable DJ from my era did...made a Guru mix. Without getting 2 deep, I can honestly say this man was a true inspiration to how I lived my life and viewed the world. It didn't really hit until I made this mix and heard the many lessons and jewels that came out of his mouth. He was a messenger in every sense of the word...to call what he did rap or emcee would diminish the poetry, message and true words of wisdom that so casually flowed on every track he spit on. Unlike so many artists from his era, he never "sold out" or attempted to please the industry and although not everything he did was classic, he had the spirit of a true artist, continuing to experiment with new sounds and ways of music making while maintaining lyrical and spiritual consistency even when the beat was questionable. I learned this by combing through the endless catalog of classics that he left behind. With only a few Gold records under his belt, not 1 current multi-platinum, industry friendly artist in the last 10 years could leave behind a fraction of the Gang Starr/Jazzmatazz legacy.

The mix starts with a radio drop he did for me at the Gavin music convention in Atlanta around 1995. I had met him once a few years before that at the Palladium night club in NYC..he was posted up behind me on a wall watching the show...I turned around, told him I was a fan, gave him dap and kept it moving. I ran into him a 2nd time in Philly after I started doing radio for Villanova...we passed each other in a club, and he remembered me...we had a "don't I know you" kind of moment, and we spoke again..very brief..then I was in Atlanta at this convention running around getting drops from people in the lobby...full radio DJ mode at this point...and who grabs me around the neck from out of nowhere but Guru himself..like "wussup Joe"...I couldn't believe that he remembered me by name at that point, he was to this day, the most humble and sincere artist I have ever come across....unfortunately, that was also the last time I saw him on a personal level like that.

This mix is a collection of some rare joints, album cuts and remixes cuz that's just how I get down, but if you need more then check my man Indiana Jones' tribute mix too cuz he worked for EMI and used to bless me with all the exclusive Gang Starr records..test pressings and all that...he was with me at that very same convention...in fact I crashed on his hotel room floor so it's only right...click the link to get Jones' tribute mix below

I made a new mix last weekend really for myself, but as usual I gotta share the wealth. Anyone who knows me, knows I can't keep good music to myself so here is a link to a free download of my newest mix featuring some new 2009 joints for the heads. I took it back to the 90 minute cassette days with this one, just hit record and kind of went in, like we used to do...so don't try and burn this on a cd unless you shave a few songs off..90 minutes of that pure true school Hip-Hop that is not getting played on the radio...you know how I do!

NO TALKING/NO BS (THE DOUBLE TAPE ERA)

2009-03-10T10:52:00.000-07:00

So the double tapes are about to start coming. These are the 1st two that came out. I used to get mega-props for these double cassette cases, mainly because nobody else was doing it or had seen it before, and I was looking to out-do the other mixtape DJ's at the time, by giving 2 full 90 minute cassettes worth of new joints every month. I always felt like 90 minutes just wasn't enough and I had music for days, so why not double up. The funny story about the cases is that I ordered what I thought were regular 'double cassette' plastic cases, and when my duplication guy showed them to me I hated them and freaked out. I was like "What the f*%k am I going to do with these". My artwork guys saw the opportunity for a bigger 'graphic' canvas and after seeing it with the artwork it made a little more sense, but I was still sceptic...who knew, it eventually became my staple 'look' and I was at a loss when I had to switch to CD format around 2000.

NO TALKING NO BULLSHIT (1998)

"No Talking No Bullshit" was my tagline at the time, cuz I wanted to make sure the customers knew what they were getting...straight joints and I never said a word on the tapes...I was on some real Eric B shit! At the time, every DJ was basically biting Clue's format...not mixing, shouting out the artist or label that gave out the song they were playing at the beginning of each track(over the verses sometimes too) and basically playing the industry game and not breaking records (new artists, album cuts and b-sides), just mimicking what the radio deemed as 'hot'...I wasn't down with it.

WIDE WORLD OF GEMZ (THURSDAY NIGHTS (9PM-11P) (EST)

2008-11-13T10:28:00.000-08:00

For those who haven't had a chance to catch my weekly radio show on Hip Hop Philosophy Radio Here is a taste of what you've been missing. 2 recent sets..The first is some rare 12's in my collection, I turned Serato off that night, and went back to the vinyl crates (remember those?). The other is Part 1 of my D.I.T.C. tribute show..some early joints from the crew both lyrically and behind the boards. Part 2 coming soon...Shouts to the whole DITC crew, cop their new album "The Movement" in stores now. Peace to AC the Program Director who was out here and stayed with me for the Zulu Nation 35th Anniversary. We promoted the hell out of the station, mix CD's and HHP apparel which DJ Premier seems to be real fond of these days (Peep the "Hip Hop Is Not On The Radio" shirt he has been rocking in photos lately.) Also shout to the Rebel Soulstress Isis aka Lin Que, Chuck D, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Caz and the rest of the true pioneers who showed us love this weekend. Enjoy the mixes, and check out the station, 24 hour Hip-Hop: exclusive joints, rare joints, freestyles, demos, and just all around classic Hip-Hop.
