"On this episode, they do a giveaway for an Erick Sermon/Def Jam show in New York. The winner gets to ride in “a phat stretch limo with a television, VCR, and all that” and hang with Mike Elliott and Shelly Shel. This results in a pretty hilarious call-in section where people call in telling why they should be the ones to win the tickets.
There’s some outstanding music here, especially for fans of that 93 sound. Lords of the Underground, The Mexakinz, Original Flavor, PRT, post-Large Pro Main Source… it goes on and on. Some tasty remixes and lots of heavy signature Jay-Ski cuts. There’s one track called “That’s Life” from a Philadelphia group that seems to like to reference Sweden (I couldn’t make out their name when Mike Elliott said it… something Soul).
Fat Joe shows up in studio, but for some reason, I cut that part out. The real treat comes on side B at 46:40 when Souls of Mischief roll through to hype their upcoming ’93 Til Infinity.
Definitely worth checking out. Total runtime is a little over an hour." - http://www.normalbias.org
Boodah Bros' Live From The Hood Radio Show represent for the mid-90's with some of Hip Hop's most renowned microphone fiends. Thanks to Ric Smith for the uploads.
The rowdy Hip Hop crew known as Onyx catch bodies to the beat like none other, with over 2 decades to their names of letting gun blaze. Get hit up by the body catchers in 2018 as 100MAD link with Conway and Alchemist to create a sonic atmosphere of danger and drama.
Reminisce on the classic Def Jam debut "Bacdafucup" as the manager of Onyx takes it back to the early 90's in a couple of rare radio freestyle sessions.
To the brothas sleeping around in the year of '95, the rambunctious and unpredictable Flavor Flav of Public Enemy kicks a crazy freestyle based around the topic of gettin' burned in bed. Sounding high as a kite and provoking laughs in the background, Flav brings the rawness of the streets to the airwaves as he goes off the top of the head live on Grandmaster Melle Mel's Mic Check Show.
Keeping within the vein of Public Enemy, producer INSPEKT creates a slick blend between the music of two Hip Hop legends in using P.E.'s instrumental for their soulful song "Give It Up" to remix Kool G Rap's 1992 classic "On The Run".
The dynamic duo from Shaolin Isle bless the m.i.c. during a golden age of New York radio which embraced the emerging movement of Wu-Tang to the fullest. Listen as Method Man and Streetlife lyrically bring the pain to commercial airwaves over a beat by The Fugees. Download here.
The hunger and aggression of this 2003 freestyle is something to behold as one of NYC's best lyricists attacks the mic. Save this one to your hard drive if you're a fan of Saigon, DJ Eclipse of The Halftime Show presents a cool moment during The Yardfather's come-up.
Vintage freestyle session at a very prolific time of D.I.T.C. history. O and L kinda sound as if they just woke up during the beginning of the freestyle, but by the second round the energy and true persona shows in their delivery. Nothing like live rhyming by talented New York MCs, they both go off the top of the head at the end which definitely brought a smile to my face.
Peace to HeavyHittas.com and Blackout Hip Hop for the audio.
