Back In The Game

Peace, I know it's been a minute, but I am working hard on some new projects for 2009, staying busy in the studio. Just wanted to set the New Year off with some recent radio show sets. Be on the lookout for a new and improved Hiphopphilosophy.com in 2K9, my man AC is in the process of securing a new home for the store and station, in the meantime check out AC's mixtape blog with his whole dam catalog: www.hiphopphilosophy.blogspot.com.

I need to catch up, definitely more classic Truck Jewls mixtapes on the way, but for now vibe with some random radio sets and catch me every Thursday Night from 9pm-11pm (EST) for more of the same.

Also coming soon, the Real DJ's "This Is What We Do" mixtape featuring myself, Lionel Splifkin and 2 Kool Tony dropping classic rarities like only our crew can do. Also got the Bazooka Joe/Lionel Splifkin "Ultimate Devin The Dude" mix on the way, so stay tuned.

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

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.
