Brace for the lyrical firepower released by a Hip Hop fan who arms themselves with the dangerous flow of a Brooklyn rap legend. Brooklyn DNA utilizes AI to reimagine B.I.G.'s distinct voice and flow for hours of entertainment. The track "Armed Cadence" sound like what B.I.G. would've sounded like if he never met Puff and remained an underground MC. Brooklyn DNA provides a track to match The Notorious B.I.G.'s aggressive delivery for a track that radiates power.

Below Funk Flex interviews Biggie Smalls and Craig Mack early in their careers for an additional flashback to the B.I.G. which Brooklyn DNA celebrates. Visit Brooklyn DNA on YouTube for more like the track above.

Grand Puba Remasters His '92 Debut "Reel To Reel" & Collabs On A Rare Mid-90's NYC Posse Cut

What goes around comes back again when it comes to classic material, and the classic debut of Grand Puba is no exception. Revisit the distinct flow and charasmatic persona of Puba Maxwell as "Reel To Reel" gets completely remastered by Joe LaPorta @ Sterling Sound. As a native New Yorker who lived during the time of this album's run, this one is special. I can say with confidence that "Reel To Reel" remains one of those albums that captures the vibe of being a Hip Hop head from the city that never sleeps. From getting money, hanging on the block, seeking knowledge of self and everything in-between, The Puba brings you into life in the concrete jungle for '92. 

The Notorious B.I.G. Gets Funkier, With Remixes on 45 by D90 Discs



"The D90 Discs label return for the twenny-twenny with a bumper pack of Big reworks that has us all in a tizz on this fresh Spring morning. The formula that worked so well on their debut release has been kept and it's a home run for the team on this follow up sureshot 45.

The team have cherry picked come choice Biggie verses and worked in some funkay breaks that has us asking ourselves should Puff have asked the D90 Discs production team for their contribution to the 'Ready To Die' LP? We certainly believe that that conversation should have at least taken place. The good news now though is that these four Biggie joints have been pressed up on a DJ friendly 45 for all to enjoy. The focus is on party breaks and we see this release as a go-to 45 for keepin' 'em dancin'.

Don't sweat the day when this record sells out and reserve a copy in your local record shop today or hit up the D90 Discs shop HERE. Strictly limited to 300 copies." - 45Live.net
