A battle of the East and West Coast! SouthOx recently posted this gem as streaming audio on Youtube and made me reminisce on the night I taped it off 105.9 FM New York radio when it originally aired in the late 90's. I had to post it up here to share with those who never heard this great display of breaks by two talented turntablists. This is part of the essence of hip hop I love from the early days: DJs battling each other through their knowledge of records and skills on the 1's & 2's. Whether you know each record they play or not, this is very entertaining to listen to!

Stay tuned I'll have crisp audio mp3 links of this event posted here later this week taken from my own cassette copy of the show.
