"Show #179 was a double feature of Detroit's finest, Singer/songwriter Monica Blaire who debut on Soul Circle Radio with a live performance! Since her debut album "Portraits of Me" (2006), she has worked with some of best that includes, Dwele, Andres, Zo!, Waajeed, Theo Parrish, plus local MCs Miz Korona, Marv Won, Invincible, and Guilty Simpson. Be on the look out for for her upcoming new releases this year. Of course, we couldn't just have one guest from Detroit without having our man, House Shoes (Street Corner Music)!
Big ups to Uncle Shoes who was responsible in connecting us with Monica as well all the artists he's introduced us to in the past! Rich Medina said it best, "House Shoes is the ultimate connector". The brother surely has a way with connecting folks and exposing some really dope talents! Two of the D's finest surely was on display for show 179! We hope you enjoy this one!" - Soul Circle Radio
"Pre-order a limited cassette copy of “The Makings” which serves as an introduction to folks unaware of Shoes’ past production credits. Compiled by Shoes himself to help in the promotion of his 2012 debut “Let It Go”, “The Makings” features previous productions for the likes of Danny Brown, Proof, Elzhi, MED, Quelle Chris, Invincible, Roc Marciano and more. “The Makings” also features audio testimonials from the likes of Rich Medina, Black Milk, Gaslamp Killer, Phife, Exile, Nick Speed, Rhettmatic, Paul Rosenberg and a few others as they talk Shoes’ influence and lengthy history as it ranges from the D to Cali, and talking about House Shoes’ work over the last 20+ years."
One of Detroit/LA's most notable DJ/gatekeeper/curmudgeons, @HouseShoes spoke on Jay Dee's "Welcome 2 Detroit", his personal history in both cities and his general distaste for other things he isn't fond of. Rest In Peace Dilla February 7 1974-February 10 2006
The rawness of Hip Hop production meets a smoothed-out classic of Soul music as Street Corner Music, in association with 180 Proof Records brings you one of the greatest records in the history of Detroit to the 7" circuit. Joy Road, from the Lyman Woodard Organization's holy grail LP, Saturday Night Special has been released on 45 in original form and flipped by Virginia producer Nottz. This special vinyl release comes courtesy of Amir Abdullah, head of 180 Proof, and 'Shoes original rep at Fat Beats when he was ordering records for Street Corner Music in the mid 90's.
"Joy Road" is backed by two neck-snapping flips, courtesy of Grammy Award winning producer NOTTZ who lends his signature knock, bouncing bass groove and chops to bring his identity to the soothing harmonies of The Lyman Woodard Organization's music.

Collin Venuto uses crisp graphics and monochrome photography to represent the memory of Jay Dee in Akai drum machine-inspired visual style for KicDrum Clothing. With the combination of MPC3000 imagery and logo style merged with Dilla's portrait, this shirt design is for fans to wear proudly as a symbol of a producer who innovated a new direction of sample-based music.
This is a lovingly and expertly constructed journey through the building blocks of Dilla’s beats – the dusty OG vinyl grooves that he sampled. From the basis of a Frank-N-Dank cult favorite, through that of a Fantastic SV moment, to Donuts’ irresistible ingredients, Shoes’ thorough work shines the light on his friend’s ear for a sneaky loop, his affection for perfectly imperfect chops and his knack for extracting the soul from a forgotten musical fragment and making it something altogether new, something his own. Long Live King James" -Chairman Mao XXLMag

In Hip Hop, there are many stories of finding hope after moments of loss which are very inspiring but the one which Jeff Bubeck and Ma Dukes tell about Jay-Dee's record collection proves to be one of the most moving ones yet. Hear as the two reflect upon helping one another as two strangers meet to provide one another a brighter day in the name of Jay Dee.
