Mohammad Dangerfield - Free 99

New Jersey's Hasan Salaam and NYC's Rugged N Raw join forces to bring you one of my favorite albums of 2010. I'm new to Rugged N Raw but Hasan Salaam has been on radar for years now. He always brings it raw and gritty and with "Mohammad Dangerfield" he continues to give you the dope raw Hip Hop you'll expect.

One strange thing to note: Although the song "The BBQ Joint" was released as the first single (and video) off the album. The song is not contained within "Free $.99". However I included it within the zip file as bonus song.

Lady Tribe Lazy K - NY 2 LA

Two members of the Murda Mamis, one from East Coast and the other from the West Coast combined to produce, I believe, the first all female deejays mixtape. Some of you many recognize Lady Tribe as Nikki from her disastrous disgusting appearance on Rock of Love 3. Despite what you saw on the show Tribe is a well known and respected person within the So Cal graff scene.

Known as one the best mixtape deejays DJ Lazy K has been putting it down for years in NYC. She started out in 1991 within the NY battle scene so you know she got skillz. Lately she tends to lean towards the more commercial side with her mixtapes for my taste but this mixtape from 2006 is decent enough.

Swiff LaRoc - A Arte De Malabarisimo

I saw this on various blogs a week or so ago but due to the Portuguese title (The Art Of Juggling) I'm assumed it was Brazilian breaks mix. After Swiff LaRoc sent me a email last week I decided to give his mix a listen. My original assumption was totally wrong it's extraordinary (mostly) Hip Hop blends mix.

Don't let the title of fool you this is one mix for your collection.

Common Repackaged

Over the course of 5 weeks we put up Common acapellas and had producers submit their best remixes. After some bumps in the road we had a vote and the final tracklist was chosen.
The Backpacked

There's been a deluge of Common remixes over the years and I'm not gonna front and say this the best of them all. That distinction goes to Beatnick & K Salaam (HERE) and Soul Supreme & Statik Selektah (HERE). However, a couple of tunes are solid and the rest are worth a listen. The Boomjacks Go Remix is one of best remixes of  "Go"  I've heard ever.


Go (The Boomjacks Remix)
Car Horn (Stoff Remix)
Reminding Me (Of Sef) (Stoff Remix)

Vin Roc - Best Of Underground

Misfortune has struck  5th Platoon's Vin Roc.

It seems his bulldog Boss is in need surgery for a torn ACL. In order to raise funds Vin has taken to selling three different mixes: Vibe Aid, So Much Soul 6 and this classic from 2003.

Below is not the entire mix it is only side A. If you want the full mix a donation of $3.00 is not unreasonable to help Vin Roc out. 

"Years ago I put out a MIXTAPE with FatBeats around the time the Triple Threat Djs album was droppin on the FatBeats Label. It was a mix with a lot of the stuff I use to buy at the shop. High n Mighty, Blackstarr, Big L just to name a few.'
