Real Talk Tuesdays: Big Jacks OG Recipe

I love tracking down samples used in hip-hop. It's important to me to discover where the ideas came from and study those recordings - find out why those flavors work. Big Jacks OG Recipe goes digging hard and the results are fantastic. Get some.

Madhouse Mondays: 420

Happy 420. Some of us have to work - but for those who are just melting into your couches today, dig this mix by DJ Matman. Yup.

Madhouse Mondays: Notorious B.I.G.

On March 9, 1997 Christopher Wallace (Notorious B.I.G.) was murdered for his music. Put one in the air today for Biggie Smalls and dig this mix by DJ Short-E. Fuck the bullshit.

 

Madhouse Mondays: Tuxedo

A few months ago I blogged about Tuxedo, a new collab between Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One. To plug their new project they dropped a pair of mixtapes - the first of which is AR Music. Dig this vibe.

 

Feel Good Fridays: Alf Alpha

This collection by beat master Alf Alpha was first released in Japan in 2009. Put this on and your morning will be ten times cooler. I promise.
