CALLING Mr WELLFARE

I found a nice James Brown album today that i had never seen before called ONCE UPON A TIME on DOUBLE VINYL,on further inspection i noticed it was a german only lp,it contains some choice cut's such as "SOUL PRIDE" "BROTHER RAPP" and "JUST PLAIN FUNK" so for £2 it was in the bag.
It also contains "THE CHICKEN" check the video below to hear how MARLEY MARL sampled this to great effect on BIG DADDY KANE'S joint Calling Mr Wellfare from the classic 1989 LP "It's a Big Daddy thing"...pure dopeness

PEANUT BUTTER WOLF - 45" LIVE

After catching wreck on dozens of 45-only Hip-Hop sets worldwide, Peanut Butter Wolf has hooked up with the good folks at Five Day Weekend to put together this insane collection of rap 45's. The box set features 10 x 7" vinyl classic rap 45's selected and re-edited by Peanut Butter Wolf and a large format sticker & liner notes written by Peanut Butter Wolf all packaged in a LIMITED EDITION tin case. All of the tracks are available for the first time ever on 7" vinyl format.This project is such a great honor for me to be involved with. This is one of the crowning moments of my music career, seriously. As a kid growing up in San Jose, CA when all this stuff was coming out, I was hooked and half a lifetime later I still am. I can only imagine what these songs sound like to a teenager today hearing them for the first time, just as they probably wonder what it was like for someone like me to have heard them for the first time back when it was all happening. I've also always wondered what it was like to grow up in one of the five boroughs in Hip Hop's infancy in the 80s. These songs were the closest I got to knowing."

If you love your Hip Hop 45"s as much as i do you need this Limited Edition box set in your life..would make the dopest christmas gift this year!

DJ MISCHIEF 45"

Beat-maker DJ Mischief has been up to no good, jacking a few well-known hip hop acapellas to rework for this essential release on new label MyFirstMoth Records. First up, he ditches the laid-back beats of De La Soul's '96 classic 'Itzsoweezee (Hot)' for some funky breaks and syncopated Hammond organ pops, guaranteed to get those feet shuffling on the dance floor! Then over on the flip J-Live gets a few things off his chest over some solid jazzy head-nodding beats, with the poignant lyrics and haunting backing vocals of 'Satisfied'' perfectly matching Mischief's solid production. Limited to 500 copies worldwide so grab your copy quick!

A CRATE COMBINATION

45 Prince vs. Kista - Crate Combination
Inspired by the finest old school Hip Hop tunes, Crate Combination will take you on a beat journey to rhyme paradise! Fine and tight Hip Hop sounds that remind you of Pete Rock, Shadow, Cut Chemist / Jurassic 5, Dj Format, the Roots and also James Brown will do their magic and enchant Hip Hop lovers and those, simply enjoying good music. The idea to do something together musically was born after Kista decided to license one of 45 Prince’s songs for a compilation (Audio Formation – the very rare and hard to find dusty instrumental Hip Hop album). „We wanted to make music and pay tribute to the old school style without compromising with trends or music industry’ standards“, says 45 Prince. One of the records’ goals is to show that sample music can be creative and soulful. Back to the roots – that’s the intention. Crate Combination got a little help from some friends who added to the freshness of the record: Romanowski and Glammerlicious (who is producer of Main Concept, one of the most original and established German Hip Hop combos) provide their skills as co-producers. And you can also find a variety of high quality guest vocalists such as: P.E.A.C.E (Freestyle Fellowship), Tableek (Maspyke, New York), Sumkid (San Francisco), Unknown Rasta and Rob Mackay. Last but not least guests scratchers DJ Format and DJ Bazil (True Flavaz Crew) add the final ingredient. Tada, Dinner’s ready and best served still steaming!
