Moving Forward and Looking Back

KYLE STYLE: 5 Standout Tracks On Lost & Found from UR Chicago on Vimeo.

A new BBE release that I am sure will be sought after once hip hop producers get there hands on some of these tracks to chop up. 2010 is looking promising! 1/19/2010 will be a good day to go to the record store.

Happy New Year!

Peace world. This is the year for independent labels and artist to shine!

Keeping in tune with my mission of saving the music I would like to start the year off right by giving my thanks to the Freestyle Professors for being true and living examples of how important it is to save the music and this culture we know as hip hop.

Freestyle Records independently pressed up this lost treasure by Showbiz & AG - "Broken Chains". This LP is a must have on vinyl. Even if you don't spin, add this record to your collection and thank the Freestyle Professors later. I am in the process of getting my copy ordered as well.

If anyone out there follows independent labels and catalogs take time to check out Freestyle Records.

Save the music and support those keeping hip hop alive.

hip hop's new generation

two of my favorite producers in hip hop speaking on there own ambitions and opinions

Production by omega:nyc

When I get inspired, I sometimes hop on my beat production weapon of choice and create beats. I chopped up the intro of a soul record and looped up some drums from cracker beats. The lyrics are from Bumpy Knux. The result is a remix of "I Come To War"/Got Ya Gun is my title.

Plug in some headphones for optimal listening: time - 2 minutes

DOWNLOAD/LISTEN TO THE MIX


Side notes: Read the list of songs (exclude the name of the artist) as if it were one long sentence. Also there are lots of hits that came out in 1983, these few tracks are just selections I put together for a certain 83 vibe that was missing from my batch of 80's mixes. Songs I wanted on this mix but didn't make it - Red Red Wine by UB40, The Crown by Gary Byrd, Nubian Nut by George Clinton, Heaven Only Knows by Teddy Pendergrass and Candy Girl by New Edition.

Can I Say Cold Chillin'

Mixtape:2HungryBros:MyCrew'sAllThinner!

Peace world. My name is Omega:NYC and I am a DJ. These are my written words that I dedicate to this web log of mine. I am in the process of figuring out why I decided to keep posting on the blog.

This mix has nothing to do with it but I am happy I found it out there, somewhere, to share. (I ain't rhyming!)

Back to the mix you see posted. This dude named 8thW1 is the main feature in my opinion. The other emcees are there to distract you from the fact that 8thW1 is featured on 6 out of the 23 tracks, which I clearly see as a push from the DJ team - 2HB.

Some might see this as a compilation and others may consider it a mixtape. Whatever you classify this as, take time to listen to the emcees. I miss raw hip hop and there is no better way to revisit that time and space than with a mix of who school rappers over a "rare groove" mixtape.

And what do I mean by that? Rappers spitting over breaks that are not broke!!! That's right... I said it... brakes that aren't broke! Classic tracks that have been sampled, but in this instance are played the entire way through, while we listen to the next hottest mc do his thing.

But I like it... I can't deny it, cause I tried it... but with records, not actual emcees. Anyway I dish it out, this is something you should have in your collection. If for no other reason than the song selection featured. 2HungryBros. stay true to the mixtape game and lace us with dope tracks and exclusive rhymes.
