Whuttup, Whuttup, Whuttup!!!  So this Valentines Day I have a slew of great things for you to check out (New S&S Podcast, Valentines Archive from TODAY) along with my usual recycle of Adam’s World Blog, with this one being about the closing of a great NYC Hip-Hop staple event A MONTHLY BONDFIRE…sadly my usual V-day mix will be up a bit later this week, but it is going to BANG.  Let’s get down to brass tax shall we?

Brand New Subways & Sidewalks Podcast Featuring HW

Recorded in early December, I was waiting for this day to unleash the hilarity and sadness of what we did here…ALL UNRELEASED EXCLUSIVES from HW’s upcoming album ‘Wallpaper Exit Wounds’ plus a special live track that was written that day!  Can it get better?  Well yes, if you have a date and someone to share the podcast with, but hey sometimes life don’t cut that way…C’est La Vie.  Click the cover art above, the link HERE to download or stream live @ Rapreviews.com.  Shouts to Flash for putting up with my nonsense!!!

Valentine’s Day Spectacular on WPKN

Had a rare chance to be on-air for Valentine’s Day and FUNraising…how could the stars have aligned like this?  Well they did and a great show was done of all songs I feel express to true nature of love which is a painful (beautifully so) event no matter how you dice it.  Take a listen and ENJOY!!!

Mornings on WPKN Valentine’s Day Spectacular

Tuesday is Recycling Day and I Looooove Recycling


For nearly half a decade Bondfire has been providing unforgettable moments, and a great proving ground, for music fans and artists alike, every last Tuesday of the month at the Bowery Poetry Club in NYC. The event, however, is going to end its four and a half year run on February 28th.

Much more than just another NYC open mic, Bondfire has been a unique artist-driven community, and its stage has witnessed the growth of many talented acts. Artists including Tah Phrum Duh Bush, iAreConscious, and PremRock went from rocking the Bondfire stage to touring overseas. Homeboy Sandman went from the Bondfire stage to signing a deal with Stones Throw Records. Countless other artists saw their YouTube views go from the hundreds to the thousands. There was the night the legendary Kool Herc came through to enjoy the show and give words of encouragement. The Bondfire community also came together when a non-regular swiped co-host Tasty Keish’s laptop, raising the money to get her a new one. This is why, even though it was billed as an open mic (or, in Bondfire terminology, a “mic open”) with main event acts, emcee Warren Britt, who has been a mainstay at the show, has another way to describe Bondfire – “it was family.” To read the whole article visit Adam’s World Blog

Happy New Yeahhhhh!!!  Let’s welcome the year of total annihilation (if you believe all the 2012 hype; unlikely at best really) with open arms and kiss it all goodbye with some great music for my first post of 2012 courtesy of myself, the fellas at Basserk and Scion A/V.  Sounds pretty good; if you are gonna go out you might as well have a good soundtrack right?  Niiiice…

Kitchen Sink #17

My first live set of 2012 on RWD.fm and it was chock full of bangers I have recently gotten in my endless, relentless blog search for the perfect beat.  Thanks alot Soul Sonic Force for putting me on thaaat quest!  If you are unaware, you can check me out every Saturday afternoon spinning live (usually) from 2-4pm on RWD.fm

Bronstibock ‘The Edge’ Remix Contest

I have entered yet another remix contest and will undoubtedly lose as per the usual, but at least it’s good motivation to finish tracks in a timely fashion.  This one is brought to you by the fellas Bronstibock; who I had the pleasure of rocking with when I was out in Amsterdam on my Euro tour last January, as well as being taken good care of by their label Basserk.  Below is my submission to the contest and feel free to click the art above to grab the stems for yourself to enter or check out the competition’s entries (some BANGERS in there!).

Skream & Benga EP 

Brand new music from english dubstep royalty  Benga & Skream brought to you by the fine folks over at Scion A/V…BANGING from front to back!  I would highly recommend clicking the link above to check it out.

Happy Freaking Hogswatch!!!

I am back and badder than than ever for the holidaze and all that good stuff…getting my cards all set to mail and what knot so it’s about time I start posting again to this corner/crux of the internet.  I have a new mix for you to download and some stuff off my soundcloud as well and then I will leave you be…Savvy?  OK, let’s ‘go in’ as the kids say these days…

DJ HALO – COLD

I made this mix for a special person, as the title would indicate, but they will remain nameless…maybe it’s YOU.  Either way a great mix was produced and I hope you enjoy it, feel free to post comments or your mama jokes…what?  Track list!?  fiiiine…This is the most rappy mix I have made in forever, so ENJOY!

New Soundcloud Heat!

Not really as it has been up for about a month or so now, but I haven’t had time to post about it until now.  A remix I did for the Scale It Back remix contest held by DJ Shadow, obviously I didn’t win, but I did make a song that I am excited to play for people…peep game.

Freakout Friday; I HEART BASS!!!

•December 16, 2011 • Leave a Comment

YOOOOOOOO!!!  It has been a MINUTE since I got up on here, for that I apologize but life has a way of getting in the way sometimes.  Have no fear though, I will be in FULL EFFECT for the up coming holiday week and sporadically more often from then on…Savvy?  Great!  Now that we are in agreement, I just wanted to shout out a really fun (hopefully well attended) event I will be doing tonight @ Freight Street Gallery in Waterbury.  Freight Street if you have never been there before is a pretty dope spot, a bit out of the way, but very nice as they have done significant improvements to the spot since their opening a few years back.  Any artists looking for a great place to play an ALL AGES show should seriously take a look at this venue.

So, tonight I will be rocking the jammie jams from 10pm until 2am for a rare ALL AGES set, so feel free to bring your annoying little brother for some earsplitting BASS.  Mostly rocking Electro and Dubstep tonight, but if you’ve witness the fitness live before, you know I tend to meander genre-wise…for more info click the flyer above or the link HERE to check the FB invite.  Hope to see YOU there!!!

Whuttup Wednesday!

W-O-E…It’s Wednesday, I got a year older and finished up rocking two fantastic dates on the MC Homeless, Riddlore & Aceyalone tour in NYC and CT respectively.  Maybe it’s the delirium from lack of sleep, but I feel pretty good about getting older this year…today I have some great stuff to celebrate the release of my long time homies & live show/touring partners, The Metermaids, album on Strange Famous Records!!!  Well, actually it was on the 6th (American records release on Tuesdays don’t cha know…) but time is a relative concept really.  I also have the last two archive links for my FM broadcast show on WPKN as well as some miscellaneous debris from around the interwebs.  Sit down and kick it for a min, you won’t be pissed you did…

The Metermaids ‘Rooftop Shake’

So the homies Swell and Sentence finally released their Opus that has been a long time coming; production from NC super-producer 9th Wonder & M Stine with cuts from world famous turntablist Rob Swift as well as the duo never sounding tighter and more polished on the rhymes.  This is a definiate must have LP.  If you don’t believe me, take a listen to this track and try to say it’s weaksauce…

Metermaids ft. Sage Francis and B Dolan – Bad Things Redux

Still a bit unsure aren’t you?  Well here take the whole thing for a test drive at the Stange Famous Soundcloud

If that wasn’t enough, peep the video for 8MM…

WPKN Archives!

Here is the two newest archives from my Tuesday morning show; relive the hilarity as if you were there…
