"Watch as Tha Liks Tash, J-Ro and E-Swift bring their signature energy, charisma, and raw lyricism with a freestyle session that captures the essence of early 2000s hip hop. This behind-the-scenes moment shows the group just having fun, vibing, and celebrating their craft before dropping one of their most talked-about projects." - RAP SCENE TV
The Korean label known as Big Pink offer the 2026 reissue of "What's In This Life For You". You can view their entire reissue catalog here at their website where they specialize in discovering Prog and Psychedelic gems like this. Below is one of my favorite uses of the drum break you'll find on this album, used by Pete Rock. D.I.T.C. & Dilla.
This Way Forward keeps that model intact and shows us the way, charging 10 cuts of brass accents and polished vocal turns from Hil St Soul, Natasha Watts and Guida de Palma. Wade's approach stays consistent, reaching back to Brit-funk and US smooth jazz but kept current through production detail and pacing. A continuation of a catalogue built over decades, the name identifying less a fixed band or brand, more a vehicle for Wade's take on club-ready jazz-funk."
If you recall Gangstarr promo photos from back in the day, Premier was heavy into the Columbia jackets back in ‘94. So was NYC where the variety of colorful designs worn by us adolescents lit up the streets. If you wore or remember the Columbia wave in the 90’s, drop a comment!
Side note: BRING BACK COLOR TO HIP HOP FASHION! I see a lot of the youth lately rocking all black here in NYC. It's about time we bring back the art of color to the culture.
If you’re interested in owning a piece of Hip Hop history, I’ve got a copy of the fleece and jacket worn by Preemo here at my eBay storefront (Large and XL sizes). Thanks in advance if you decide to purchase this gear (or anything else) through my link. eBay will compensate me to help support my continued work of promoting classic music here at the blog.
Enjoy this discovery of classic Hip Hop gear along with a classic mix by Preemo. He catches wreck on the turntables during his former radio show "The Thunderstorm" on the great NYC radio station WBLS FM. This set was just before the release of Jeru The Damaja's debut album.
With Masters At Work on production, Brian's legendary catalog receives a whole new life. ‘Now More Than Ever’ is a testament to music that is capable of transcending time based on the universal desire to achieve a brighter tomorrow and get down in the process.
Kilroy Creative are known for their bold and colorful illustrations that capture the likeness of musical greats. Below is their J Dilla Pop-Art enamel pin which captures Jay using a color spectrum you've probably never seen him in before. Visit their eBay shop here to view more music portraits (As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase).
Get yourself a copy of this collectors item here at Juno Records or here at Amazon while you enjoy a '91 performance by Brand Nubian below I also posted the full instrumental version of "One For All" here in case you missed it before.
In Wake Up Show style, Sway & Tech unite regions of Hip Hop for and outstanding moment of rhyme in the year of '92. Lend your ear to these poetic psychos who drop mackadocious lyrics over funky beats.
