Raekwon - Future Flavas freestyle

Nice Raekwon freestyle for Marley Marl and Pete Rock's show back in the day...

I cant really say anything about the new Raekwon album that hasnt already been said elsewhere. Its alot better than I ever expected it to be and I even went and bought a copy despite downloading it when it first leaked.
The fact that 'Blueprint 3' is a horrendous mess makes it sound even better.

Group Home freestyle on WKCR (1995)

This is taken from a tape of Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito's legendary show on WKCR.
In the studio to promote their debut album, Group Home drop something over Kool G Rap's 'For Da Brothaz' instrumental before they're joined by their crew Brainsick Mob (including Smiley Da Ghetto Child) who go off over the 'Broken Language' beat.

Shout out to Big Ted who hit me up following the previous show I posted. Hopefully he'll be coming through with some treats in the near future. Get up in that loft mate!

You can catch him doing his thing every friday night on Colourful Radio. Several of the original Kiss DJs are on there aswell so if you were a listener back in the day check it out.

I was thinking of going this year but the weather didnt get good til about an hour ago, plus I've been DJing all weekend so instead I'm lounging on my sofa trying to retrive my numbers from my phone, which inexplicably died last night.

Hopefully it'll all go smoother than last year.

2 NEW SOUL FOCUS RELEASES!

Self promotion time! Following on from the success of the EPMD and Roots Manuva remixes last month, we've got another two for you.

The first is a 'jackin for beats' style remix of MC Shan's 'The Bridge', using some classic 80s soul instrumentals to add a nice funky vibe to this Hip Hop staple.

The second release flips Uptown's 1989 anthem 'Dope On Plastic' over an instantly recognisable breakbeat that makes it a guaranteed floor-filler.
