The Combat Jack Show

“We searched high and wide, far and low, and we got all the butters here. This is the best of the independent that came out.” – Mr. Dave

“Haze Presents NY Reality Check 101” came along at an ideal time in my life. I was already a hip-hop writer, a college radio show host and a (really lousy) disc jockey who was married to the elements. There was no “I USED to Love H.E.R.” in my life — I had been smitten in my pre-teen years and that love only grew in my teens and 20’s. It was not an easy relationship though living in a very rural part of America. Without magazines like The Source, newsgroups like rec.music.hip-hop, and friendly record store managers (whattup Dean) who would place special orders for me, I’d have been ass out trying to keep up with the scene. “NY Reality Check 101” was one such order in December ’97. You weren’t going to find this album at Walmart.

It’s amazing how an album that was transformative and revelatory to me in the late 1990’s has vanished without a trace a little over 20 years later. You can find an entry here or there with artwork or a release date, but scant little discussion of how amazing this CD was. In a way having a college friend from Philadelphia (whattup Ron) prepared me well for its arrival. It was through him that I got my exposure to the mixtape scene, so I was already listening to compilations from Ron G, Kid Capri and DJ Premier, “P-P-P-Premier” of Gang Starr fame among others. The latter is the man behind the wheels here, and although it’s Haze that “Presents” this mixtape, his presence is basically non-existent. Primo is the one who mixes, blends, juggles and doubles the tracks, scratching up a bevy of what Dave Sumpter a/k/a Mr. Dave aptly described as “the butters” of underground rap.

To this day Primo’s slice and dice of Bigg Jus saying “Bugged like Rwanda” over and over for the intro of Company Flow’s “8 Steps to Perfection” makes the hairs on my arms stand up. “Reality Check 101” was when I discovered Company Flow and by extension Rawkus Records, and hearing it again reminds me of that incredible feeling. Yeah eventually Ron or someone in the know would have hipped me to CoFlow if it weren’t for this CD, but the butter is just spread so smoothly here that I have to toast Premier. If you try listening to this on Spotify or YouTube it’s really not going to do it justice with the buffering, commercial breaks and constant interruptions. The way Primo flowed the song into “Changes” by Shades of Brooklyn made me a huge fan of BOTH acts. You better believe I was immediately trying to cop twelve inch singles for each one.

Elevated Orchestra Mixtape EP

Got It Twisted (freestyle)

Fresh off the brand new, first-time, digital-release of the Jigmastas' seminal debut 'Infectious' (djspinna.bandcamp), our host Peter Agoston and the one and only DJ Spinna caught up for a casual convo on Spinna's storied career. A hour or so barely scratches the surface with Spinna, whose production credits roots go deep between hip-hop, house, funk and beyond - but the guys manage to cover plenty of ground. Recorded in Brooklyn, NY in Nov of 2017 - enjoy, subscribe, and spread the word! Oh, and cop that 'Infectious' re-issue!

Ep. 60 - DJ Spinna

We've made it to 99 episodes (!) and what a better way to hit that mark then with an EXTRA special conversation, only available on The House List. So who better to sit down with than the highly revered yet largely unknown Godfather Don. In what marks his first real, long-form interview - Don is extremely cool, affable and open. And that was mostly talking about music (we hoped and plan to get a more esoteric, next time)! He has been a personal favorite of mine for a long time. A lifetime resident of Brooklyn, we discuss it all. Picking up a guitar as a small child, to making beat-tapes with a guitar pedal. Many where introduced to Don's seminal work on Ultramagnetic MC's 'Four Horsemen' (Wild Pitch 1993) album, others with his actual debut 'Hazardous' (Select 1991). He had a prolific run doing the indie/underground boom between labels Fondle Em and Hydra, which resonates widely to this day (seen in the many limited reissues of his work). Yet all the while, Don has seemingly been  shrouded in mystery.
Now, Don is a actively performing Tenor Sax player around BK. He's recorded a new Jazz project, I saw him play - he's amazing. It's a fantastic transition into a different musical horizon. I highly suggest watching or listening, when you have the ability. I am needing to get our SoundCloud page to 100,000 streams - so please listen to this over and over and share/repost where you can! Thank you for supporting!

Ep. 99 - Godfather Don

Seven Eyes, Seven Horns

Scaramanga - Special Efx Feat Godfather Don

raw material during raw times in my life.In short its what i feel would come out of any human in a time of great stress in battle, mentally and physically. but more importantly its here for your growth, meant to encourage. I was heavily influenced by the movie "Drive" as the sort of loner with a heart. a character who had a very violent nature at his core, protecting those around him he cares for. A flawed individual just like me. It really doesn't matter to me what kind of music you like. All will get something out of this. Alot of obscure tracks on here.Alot of chains were broken off of me during this record. I lost alot. I gained alot. enjoy.



Charles Longo - Faith Is Bulletproof - 15 Scars ft.Braveheart & Charles Longo (Produced by Freddie Joachim)

On the latest episode of The Combat Jack Show we get a serious history lesson courtesy OG Michael Holman, best known as the creator of the short lived but incredibly influential early 80s hip-hop show Graffiti Rock. As a co-founder of the experimental band Gray with Jean-Michel Basquaiat, Hollman waxes poetic about what made Basquait such a force not only then, but to this day.
