Stay tuned to the label Boom Bap Digital, founded by a DJ who's worked with the Hip Hop elite of Queensbridge. In 2013 Jah Supreme sets it off with a few gem from the vaults digitally re-released at iTunes and CDBaby.
"You soon won't be able discuss major players in the realm of independent hip hop without bringing up the online record label upstart BOOM BAP DIGITAL. Founded by Queensbridge's Best Kept Secret JAE SUPREME. A veteran of the Queensbridge Hip Hop Music scene since the mid 80's - working with most of the Queensbridge Hip Hop Elite (Nas, Cormega, Tragedy, Capone & Noreaga, Nature, Screwball, Killa Sha, MC Shan, Roxanne Shante, Marley Marl). Jae has decided to take his skills (i.e. producer, engineer, dj, writer, business owner) and his solid relationships in hip hop - combine them and give the world via the world wide web, some new and classic sounding hip hop from the region that invented that ol boom bap - NEW YORK CITY."
The label's music will be compromised of artists that have worked with Jae Supreme in the past and include newly found talent brought to BOOM BAP DIGITAL by a very knowledgeable and seasoned A&R staff. BOOM BAP DIGITAL will also have a link on the website where new artists can showcase their music in hopes of being distributed by the label.
BOOM BAP DIGITAL is banking on a simple formula = create and distribute good hip hop music and the world will gravitate to it.
Keep your eyes and ears open for that ol boom bap coming from BOOM BAP DIGITAL."
Enjoy some interview footage from the "Illmatic" era as a young Nas speaks on his accomplishments in Hip Hop thus far as an emerging MC who walked an uncertain path from the danger of the ghetto into dreams of a new life within the music industry.

From Medline's album "People Make The World Go Round" now available to stream and purchase at Bandcamp.
There are few artists who can claim a whole style and aura of Hip Hop the way the Mobb has since their signature style of darkness re-defined the streets around "The Infamous" and Hell On Earth" albums. Godfather Pt. 3, one third of the Queensbridge duo Infamous Mobb gives a brief history of his introduction into Hip Hop through the harsh influences of his neighborhood surroundings and the support of Mobb Deep.
I expected to hear Godfather address the breakup of Infamous Mobb when I first viewed this interview, but fortunately there is no news to speak of. Hopefully they have reconciled their differences since Ty Nitty's breakup announcement and can continue adding onto their impressive discography as a group.
The combination of Infamous Mobb, Alchemist, Sid Roams and their affiliates remain a rare gem within the current scene of New York hip hop, a collective artists who produce a musical street cinema which is socially relevant, musically competitive and influential as an authentic voice of the ghetto experience.

The latest mixtape from Nyce Tha Future of The Infamous Studios features brand new production from Havoc, Alchemist and Sid Roams with appearances from La The Darkman, a sure-shot line up of talent for a dedication toward Prodigy's upcoming release date. You may have heard Nyce as a new Mobb affiliate on Havoc's "The Kush", J-Love's "Mobb Misses" and Havoc's more recent internet singles. His rhyme style and persona stand out on each track I've heard him on, helping to bring a more current flavor of MC to the refined, street sound of Mobb Deep. Thanks to Onsmash.com for the release of this project.

This episode of Fat Beats Radio is an appreciation for the unmistakable street sound of Capone N Noreaga, a duo who managed to gather some of the best talent in production and MC collaborations over the years to bring their own sound and definition of ghetto reality into Hip Hop. Going back to songs from their debut in the 90's up to the present date of their latest album "The War Report 2", DJ Bill Sharp takes you on auditory trip through the streets of New York by the way of CNN's extensive and solid discography.
From "T.O.N.Y.", "Invincible", "Superthug", "Bang, Bang" to the Nas assisted "With Me", this dedication show gathers the best from their deep catalog of dark beats, exclusive street corner slang and QB visuals showing you how to capture the essence of the ghetto in song like none other. Capone N Noreaga stop by the studio to speak in an interview about their career and give details on the new album about half-way into the show.
Capone N Noreaga "The War Report 2" out now in stores and online at
Tragedy Khadafi Released From Prison, Working With Capone-N-Noreaga: source: http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.11606
Tragedy's release from prison is a good thing for the state of Queensbridge hip hop, now all we need is Prodigy back in the mix. Here is a freestyle and interview from 1996 on the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Show, this was a place where he felt very comfortable to come up and express himself lyrically. At this time he was collaborating heavy with the Mobb Deep/CNN clicks in addition to being a leader in releasing quality work to the independent hip hop world. Queensbridge sure had a heavy presence in hip hop at this time.
If you're a fan of Stretch & Bob, you know the deal with it comes to them and their guests. You get some fierce delivery on the mic as well as some humor in between. Hopefully when you hear warmth and thickness of this audio you realize the benefit of still listening to those cassettes lol, Enjoy this one.
