Jazzy Jeff, Common & The Roots live in Philly (1998)














A rare live freestyle session, courtesy of Cosmo Baker

"I came across this mix today. It's a live recording from me and Rich Medina's old party The Remedy back from 1998. This snippet is recorded live from the club with DJ Jazzy Jeff on the wheels with Black Thought, Common, Rehani and more spitting freestyles over "Love Rap" and "Mardi Gras." It's kind of the hottest schitt you never heard before (this is the first time it's ever being put out there.) But yeah, this is how we used to get down." - Cosmo Baker

Chubby Kids on Kiss FM with Jehst, Supa T, DJ MK, Kyza, Blufoot, Mystro & Beni B (2002)




Whole heap of people in the studio on this one and some dope tunes aswell!
Jehst, Kyza & Supa T (aka Sundragon) are up there promoting 'Its All Live', their collaboration with DJ MK & Harry Love, which went on to be a massive track that year.
Mystro & Blufoot are also in the house and there's a nice freestyle session to finish things off (my tape cuts out a bit early unfortunately).

Also on the show, Beni B of ABB Records passes through and Blitz and Big Ted drop new tracks by Kool G Rap, Dilated Peoples, Tony Touch and Wu Tang.


WC, Mack 10 & Ice Cube 'West Up!' (Soul Focus re-fix)












Here's a nice blend cooked up by DJ Mystery (one half of Soul Focus). He's taken the beat from Ice Cube's 'You Know How We Do It' and stuck the acapella of the WC/Cube/Mack 10 collabo 'West Up' over the top. Simple but effective. There's even a nice extended intro for the DJs...

Shortee Blitz on Kiss FM (1996)














Before Shortee Blitz got his own slot on Kiss FM he used to do guest mixes on Max & Dave's show. This one is from 1996 (I think) and features music by INI, Gauge, Mike Zoot & Mos Def, Rasco and Pete Rock.



Shout out to Crate Digga for sending this over.

Fallacy - Graceful In Death EP (2010)


















I'm breaking tradition here as I never promote new releases on this blog but as Fallacy is one of my favourite MCs I thought I'd make an exception.
This is a solid EP, every track is a banger, and at £3 its money well spent.

GO AND BUY IT HERE

Rumours (and the title!) suggest this might be his last release. I really hope thats not the case. Maybe if enough people support we'll get a part 2?
