Supa Qool DJ Quartermaine - Nightmare On Beat Street

I got new mix for you from Diamond District's Supa Qool DJ Quartermaine. I'll let Q explain the concept behind this ill mix of 80's joints himself:

I came up with the title "Nightmare on Beat Street" as a play on "Nightmare on Elm Street". The main character Freddy would kill his victims in their sleep and the only way for them to avoid this fateful outcome was to "Wake-Up". I feel Hip-Hop (Beat Street) is in this situation now...

I made this mix the weekend after Gucci Mane got his "Ice Cream" face tattoo. I wanted to produce a blend tape that represented the exact opposite of where I see the culture going, and revisit a time when Hip-Hop was truly a tool for teaching, knowledge and especially Black Pride.

Evil Dee - Live On Da Beatmerz Radio

Thanks to Northern Ireland's DJ A To The L we have audio from one of the Da Beatminerz ustream broadcasts.

There's far too many songs to write a tracklist but on Part 1 (59 minutes) Evil Dee spins mostly original samples and on Part 2 (1 hour & 34 minutes) he spins 80's & 90's RnB, Hip Hop and  a few breaks. Can nobody bring it raw and rugged like Evil Dee can. You going love these mixes.

As a rule in today's age where suddenly everyone's calls themselves a producer very few  can actually produce something worthwhile. Norwegian beatmaker Thomax is indeed a exception to this rule. Through these past few years he has displayed a good track record of producing some high quality head nodding Hip Hop. With Volume 6 of his Remix Files series Thomax continues releasing some quality hardcore Hip Hop.
