Just a few thangs I found.... enjoy!
30 Avril at New Morning in Paris....2013
NOTE: Reach has a fresh verse that is also quite stylistically pleasing without mentioning the soul-food content. Listen closely and feel good. Then listen again.
NOTE: A Soul Square classic. DJ Pfel and DJ Atom (of both C2C and Beat Torrent fame) definitely add the finishing touches to a great jam. Jazzy and boom-bap.
NOTE: DJ Atom is good. Nothing more to be said. I can hear Jimmy, can you?
NOTE: A great example of what Soul Square are capable of. Great pocket and a great jam all-around. Let's not forget 20Syl definitely bringing a classic verse with Ahkenaton following through to seal the deal. Oops. Almost forgot, Ben L'Oncle Soul placing nice melodies to really make the chorus stick.
NOTE: The metro is usually a little more packed than we would have you think. Respect goes to Son Of A Pitch, Kocy Logos, Reza Stax, and Daweed DB on the camera
NOTE: BE THERE! CLICK ON ME FOR INFO!
I'll be back in the office in a few days with a ton of new posts to fill your ears and mind with whatever it is will fill them enough to get you to tomorrow. You know how we do!
Big up and hope to catch you in Paris tonight!
Peace and Respect,

Lewis Parker x Anitek x Ge-ology x Cut Chemist
LEWIS PARKER x ANITEK x GE-OLOGY x CUT CHEMIST
Brand new Lewis Parker!
Follow this link to Lewis Parker's FB page, and stay up on the quality sound Lewis Parker continues to deliver. No sleeping.
He is as nice on the mic as he is behind the boards. Anyone who appreciates quality, skill-filled Hip-Hop without the gimmicks, should check out his huge library of classic releases. Not one weak beat or rhyme present! Mr. Parker has worked with too many more-than-recognizable Hip-Hop legends to count and has held his own since 1995, so stop reading and get diggin!
*12:51-approved!

9th's opus or three...for my [i]
So, check it out. Been in a weird funk what with all the traveling and such. The last three weeks of posts have been kinda obscure, to say the least. I've been kinda trying to remain spontaneous yet true to whatever it is that drew you to this blog in the first place. In fact, I looked at the first blog recently, and really can't believe where and why I've taken it so far. This post will bring it back to basics. A solid block of what motivated me in the first place. This doesn't mean I will fall back into the box, but just that every now and then we need to acknowledge our roots while oon the way to growth, wherever it may lead. So without further ado. Let's get into some 9th. BTW, NO he did not work on Blowout Comb, but that album is a classic to me and should fill the mood quite nicely. Actually, what if 9th Wonder had worked with Digable Planets? Imagine that while you listen to this assembled buffet of beats. Enough babbling let's get on with it.
I'll be out of office, but will try to feed you the daily dose of my mind's madness as I can administer it.
Thanks again for tuning in, I REALLY APPRECIATE it, as do those I post here.

Life will take you all over the place, but it is with persistence that we reach beyond proposed frontiers. Persistence; wisdom, and pure will. We can not pre-judge ANY one. You never know what metamorphosis is already on-going within. There is no crystal ball only an untapped potential that we tap into daily, by living and breathing and being. Sometimes to the fullest, sometimes not full enough. Push. Respect. and Peace. Peace of mind Piece of life Piece of time. 12:51

Out of the office this weekend.
Trying to make up for it today with at least 10 new posts.
BIG thanks to everyone for continuing to return and push my blog up over 4000 views. It's very humbling and encouraging to know that you can reach around the world and find like-minded people everywhere!
For the future, I plan on featuring new interviews and continuing to shed light on the talent that has yet to be discovered/rediscovered worldwide.
PLEASE, comment on these posts. I won't have any idea what you all would like to see/hear unless you do. But if you're comfortable with someone else holding the steering wheel, then just keep coming back and I'll keep driving.
Thanks.
Peace and Respect,

and so with that said...give thanks.

When critics speak hate, FONDLE EM!
Pretty empty today. I think, though, that if you push just a few more inches...things can take aturn for the better. Keep moving forward and never settle.
Peace and momentum,
12:51
Respects thrown at Bobbito, Fondle EM Records, and the entire roster of releases, home to some of the most important indie Hip-Hop music and figures of that time. This material still holds weight!

One for DJ Spooky
Played with this gentleman ages ago on a bill in Chicago as Modill with K. Kruz.
Very intelligent, level-headed and creative individual who has broken any perceived limits that may have been present at the beginning of his career.
A scholar, musician, artist, and again, a nice guy.
Here's one for you DJ Spooky.
Remove barriers...now.
