MPC Love

Recently an MPC has come into my life and I can say that it's true love. I know, I know what you're going to say "Rose, you've only known that MPC for a few weeks". I don't care, it's the real deal - forget computer love, I'm in MPC love !



So to give homage, here's a new joint from another love 9th Wonder and Laws called "Shinning", courtesy of Crate Kings.

Chop Suey

Listen Pete Rock will go down as one of the greatest producers, at least Mr. Chop and I agree on that. That's why he has done a cover album of sorts of Pete Rock's greatest jams, called For Pete's Sake. The album takes you on a bit of a psychedelic ride with heavy jazz and funk influences. A proficient producer in his own right and nasty on many different instruments this album allows you to hear many of Pete Rocks beats in a whole new light. You can listen to the album courtesy of Turntable Lab.

Take em' to the Zoo

Ok, so we had to lament over SF for a minute but we're back with our feet on the ground in grimmy NY. And to give our home a little love check out Skyzoo, our new hip hop lover from Crown Heights, BROOKLYN y'all. Citing his inspiration as Dilla and working with 9th Wonder, how could you not love this kid ?!
