Materialism at its Finest

Soo I was the Biggest Cash Money fan in high-school. I'm talking about, had all the new releases, had the entire discography, knew most of the lyrics, and all that jazz. Now that I think back from my current situation... What was I thinking? SMH For Real? Although I admit, what I got out of it was pure entertainment. I mean the over glorification of material possessions, the glorification of a bad situation. Contrary to such things it did set the tone for the music at the time, all production was on point, and the whole New Orleans/Southern "Game Spitting" thing had people hook, line, sinker all day. I being one of them. I wont attempt some big educational rant about their one time legacy, but will cut the crap and give you your daily dose of materialism...

Representing that UPTOWN!

Sooo, I'm not gone act like I know everything there is to know about This World Famous Record Label. Or act as if I've been a wishy washy fan who could chronicle the highs & lows, and how they've seen better years, then signed a few new cats and now there back on top. Nor will I front like I used to be up on them back when Hip-Hop was real. FOH. I will say this, some of my fondest early memories have been coming to surface as of late, and I vividly remember seeing there unforgettable stamp/logo on the back of a cassette or two when I was a child. How can a child not feel related to there logo. Its a border-line anime character! Regardless of what your memories of Duck Down are, or if you've never heard them before. I suggest you get familiar as I stroll through some material celebrating the first 15 of Duck Down Records.

Hail The Almighty

Sooo, I really appreciate what the Beastie Boys have done for music. These kids are the precursor to immediately current bands like NinjaSonik and artist like Fat Tony. Don't you for a minute think that since they were white in a predominately black industry they were overlooked. PLEASE, these cats were heavily Respected Then, Legends Now! Yet they are also trendsetters to the Hip-Hop and Rap genres(YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE). So to that I tip my new era and bow to the almighty Beastie Boys, and dont even get me started on Mix Master Mike. The music featured below are from their first two albums, please buy them.

Slow & Low

Moving to Metropolis

Sooo, yeah. Been a fan of Janelle Monae since I heard her go on an outkast track, either Morris Brown or Letting Go. Then I heard some of her own material. AMAZING. Although I have actually never saw the movie Metropolis, but from what I've read about it seems to be the cinematographic shish. Seems to have been father to all those big brother/corporate/Illuminati type movies. Yeah so the whole Blade Runner concept was thought of before it was even thought of! So from that movie one can take a lot, as did Janelle Monae. She has, in her music, made the concept character of Cindy Mayweather. If you're familiar with such, no need to explain. Enjoy the mix. If you are unfamiliar, CATCH UP TO THE ELITE, and enjoy the mix.

Do You Know?

Sooo, Yeah. Haven't posted a video to this site since last year(Literally!). This one right here though. MANNE! Its live. Its provocative. Its to the point. Also antagonizes the question; Do You Know?

That ill 90Something Street Rhymes

Soo, I have had a recent string of waking up late, and when you have to produce a thematic 15 minute "quick mix" daily from scratch its a pleasure and pain. Especially when your pressed for time. None the less I still produce them for your enjoyment! Today's installment is of the 90's Hip-Hop(the real kind) nature. That gritty street rhyme. Put to grimly melodic bass chords and 4/4 measures. Delivered in mannerisms to which even any lame jive ass surburban sucka could relate to it, or get the picture and understand it. If you would close your eyes, open your ears. . . As we:

Bucktown - Smif & Wessum

Take It Back

Who Do You Believe Inn.

Soo, I had this thought like in 2005 to come up with a themed mix all about religion it would feature artist of a not so obvious stereotype of their religion such as Brother Ali, Tupac, & Matisyahu and such. It would be religion reference heavy. It would also be strong and moving. I had always cradled the idea, Until Today. Since I had this ill dream, simply put it was snowing in August, I flew from the porch in my mothers backyard to the trees at the gate over her big plot of grass, then there was some weird effects going on in the sky but at the same time it was snowing in August. When I got to her, she exclaimed something to the issue of "its the end of the world". Then my pseudo-dumbass says: "Thats why I've been going to church", then fly off. WEIRD. All dreams aside this is not of the same technicality that I have aforementioned. It is of the same thematic nature... Just me in my current state of affairs, especially within the past few days have only now begun to understand a few things. I read something yesterday that flipped a few things, ish was deep too. Not philosophical at all, but better than some of these half-ass twitter and facebook status's I've been reading. Still it struck a nerve. So I leave you with that statement: Don't be afraid of death. Be afraid you're life won't start.

Influent Hueston

Soo, I always wanted to find a way to put Michelle Thibeaux and Juz Coz in a post. Thank You to Tamika Handy, I was originally supposed to Dj her Unite Houston function. Things lead to other things and now I am proud to have put together a mix of positive Houston artist, of course the original is only to be played at her function, which has more music on it, but fear not. This is about 18minutes worth of Great Hueston music. Originally I wanted to do this back when Neon Collars was doing the Influent Streams, then even more so when the great folks over at A.M. did the My Hueston Is campaign. MANNE!!! S'goin Dine Baby. Gotta Love It. None the less. As hunger besets me, I give to you. Done Fresh Daily what I like to call: The Downtown Music Exchange (Houston from a different stand point)

The Otherside of Sacrifice

Soo, I'm back. during my brief intermission, I've been on Ted(.com PauseGrandad) more than a little bit. Some things have resonated and stayed with me more than others. The main two I draw from are this one by a phenomenal woman Sheena Iyengar + Gary Vaynerchuk. As well as the fact that I am a follower of Christ(Not So Much A Christian, but that's up for debate), and was commissioned to do a mix that emphasizes Freedom & Sacrifice. Contrary to this commissioned need to express that through music. I can't wholeheartedly convey feelings of sacrifice this way, or at least not give a mix to a group of people on a sunday and not have them feeling like a border line emo manic-depressant. Also they asked to keep it upbeat. So, hey, go figure. None the less this (mixset)is more of a focus on the pay off. The moment when all has come to the surface that was once keeping you so stressed. Anyway. I present to you:

01. Lovely Day - Bill Withers
02. Golden - Jill Scott(ZO!!! Rmx)
03. Count Your Blessings - Nas & Damien Marley
04. Sky Is Ours - Dam-Funk
Walk the line

The Randomest of Tones

Soo, Every morning I wake up at random intervals of time and process how I feel. Which is extremely difficult to compile a thematic music compilation daily, from nothing. So at this point of about roughly 12 days out of 15 days, this has become a daunting task to produce daily from nothing. Yet and still, I produce. Now today I had a talk with a great guy I know, goes by the name Rockwell. We had hit the topic of Big Boi's new album, and how great it is. This made me think of one of the outstanding tracks on the album; You Ain't No Dj. That song stayed with me all the night into the waking hours. Then, it hit me. Dj's make things happen. Real Dj's make music happen. Regardless of the genre. So I randomly went through a folder and mixed in some songs. "The freedom is better than breathing they said". So this is what I give to you.

Baby Gurrl

Soo, I remember it when it all happened. Ten days after my birthday, I wake up Saturday morning to MTV news. A breaking news report appears. Her plane has crashed. Just to move before that, to see a woman not in the public eye too much, yet a positive role model to young urban women and men on how to properly conduct themselves. Even as I sit and am forced to accept the given details, I cannot help but think it was a conspiracy theory. Aside from my feelings of a growing Huey Freeman. I miss the material produced, as well as the possibility. DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a best of, this is simply a treatment if you would, of her music produced. This is also not the last time you will hear me do an Aaliyah mix. With out any further words or context, I give you:

"Get Goose Bumps and Hot Fevers"

Before the Lady of GaGa there was one. . .

Sooo I'm not afraid to say I'm a fan of Lady GaGa. Crazy I know right. Or rather maybe I appreciate what she is doing for commercial music right now. She is making these people step their game up. ALL THE WAY UP. She is a world wide artist at this point. Fashion/Art/Music all in one. Sounds good for her right(although they say she stole Roisin Murphy's style)? Ask yourself how did she get here. Someone else had to open the doors and set the bar very high(which she still hasn't surpassed)? Who would be such a rebel, who could show these scamps how to do it? WAIT?!?!?! Her? That old chick? She did what with a Puerto Rican Flag on tour while she was on tour? YEP, MADONNA! the O.G. to this female controversy stuff. She set the standard for artistic whatevers and pushed the music for the whoevers. So here is just a small dance-ier walkthrough of her some of her material. I tried to put as much as I could into this 15(really like 17) minutes of my mix. Here you go
01.La Isla Bonita = Madonna
02.Justify My Love = Madonna
03.Like A Prayer = Madonna
04.Open Your Heart = Madonna
05.Holiday = Madonna
06.Get Into The Groove = Madonna
07.Lucky Star = Madonna
08.Papa Don't Preach = Madonna
09.4 Minutes(Bob Sinclair Remix) = Madonna
10.Give It To Me = Madonna feat.Pharell
Hail The Queen
P.S. before Madonna was Grace Jones. Do ya homework suckas! But y'all dont like that. . . OWWW.

Indie Whensdie

Soo my friend Bernice has been asking me to get her a copy of this artist that I let her listen to like more than 5 months ago. I have been saying I would burn it for her, but I haven't. Its not like I don't want to do it. It's just the whole, receiving an Independent artists EP which has three songs on it versus buying an independent artists EP which only has three songs on it. Ya Feel Me? So any way instead of giving that to her I wanted to get in on the action and dance around a few laws and show my support to these artist in my ways of which only a Dj can. I would also like to add IF YOU EVER like any of the music by any of the artist featured in/on these mixes/conversation/videos, PLEASE, SUPPORT THEM! ! ! So with no further delay check out these Independent artist...

Soca Fi Di Riddims

Soo, Here in Houston where its always hotter than Hades in July three hours after it rained at prime sunlight hours on a record heat index day. We have what is called Houston CaribFest. It is our attempt at a centralized a Caribbean event and J'ourvet (Jew-Vay) for the over 3.someodd million people and the some 1 million people in the surrounding areas like Baytown which is heavy on the St. Lucian side. So since we (Houston) are about a month and days out from the event, Soca has been on my mind. Like fa real fa real. Hopefully I can shake it from my system with this one:

01) Afro Nuts = Yolanda Be Cool
02) Party Hard = Donae'O
03) Barman = Rikki Jai
04) All Over De Gyal = Lyrikal
05) Carnival On My Mind = Edwin Yearwood
06) Looking To Wine = Farmer Nappy & Generl Grant
07) Hold Yu (Soca Refix) = Gyptian
