******************Catch Cut La Vis and Mystro at Boomtown Fair and Shambala Festivals in 2014*********************

 I've crammed 32 festival favourites from years gone by plus some crackers from this year into this mix of  reggae, Dancehall, Hip Hop, Ska, Bass Music and Afrobeat. Designed to transport instantly you to the buzz of the festival site (if only in spirit), this mix represents what I might (or might not...) spin at my shows at Boomtown and Shambala Festivals with UK Rap legend Mystro aka Mys-Diggi.

I recorded most of  this mix with one arm in a sling, and at an almost inaudibly low volume (as a result of a complaining neighbour), pretty heroic eh? 

Cut La Vis and Mystro at Boomtown Fair - Poco Loco Stage, Saturday, 9pm
Cut La Vis solo set at Boomtown Fair - Boombox Stage, Saturday, 11pm

Cut La Vis and Mystro at Shambala - Chai Wallah's, 7 pm

Funk The World 80

This mix series delves into my collection of global grooves that have strong flavours of Jazz and Hiphop!  From tropical trip hop beats through afrobeat with spoken word to the 140 jazz/hiphop/bass sounds of Swindle,  Its an eclectic selection… but all heavily linked in vibe.  This is the kind of stuff that I LOVE to listen to at home, on journeys and to play at the slightly more intimate/chill gigs.

"Essence Of Jazz and Hip Hop"  (DJ Mix)

A selection of my absolute favourite reggae, raggae hip hop, dancehall and dubby beats that I’ve found over the last year or so!  Easing in with the with the luscious relaxing tones Hollie Cook and Akae Beka all the way to the more energetic future dancehall from Jaz Elise. It essentially would be a Rootsy reggae Mixtape Vol. 3, but with the addition of some dancehall and hiphop vibes this time that title didn’t feel correct.  Enjoy, Big Hippo Love x

🎵 Title: “Loyal to the Squad”
(Kilo Bizniz / Smoked Out Mafia Music)

[Hook]
I’m present with the presence, smoke the joint till it resins,
East side Ville in the northern 5-thirty, no question,
I see peasants in my residence but guess who get the worms?
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm, (yeah)
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm.

[Verse 1]
Early bird in the trap, still flippin’ them lessons,
Keep the blunt lit, resin glowin’ like confessions,
Got my name carved deep in that Yuba dirt,
From the Ville to the burbs, my word worth work.
Ain’t no cappin’ in my captions, no filters in sight,
I’m the light in the dark, still the wrong one to bite,
Put a sucker on ice, watch him melt from the pressure,
My loyalty pure, that’s a real ninja’s measure.
I done seen snakes hiss when the money come quick,
But my circle too solid, ain’t no room for no tricks,
Stay armed with ambition, smoke strong intuition,
Every line ammunition, this Bizniz tradition.

[Hook]
I’m present with the presence, smoke the joint till it resins,
East side Ville in the northern 5-thirty, no question,
I see peasants in my residence but guess who get the worms?
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm, (yeah)
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm.

[Verse 2]
See the Ville made me cold, my soul got a heater,
I don’t follow no leader, I just follow the meter,
Got beats knockin’ like the feds on the door,
If you ain’t bringin’ value, what the fuck you here for?
We grind different, shine different, hustle with class,
Still smoke a blunt slow while I count my cash,
It’s that mafia sound, they can’t mimic the code,
Every move calculated, every track explode.
Ninjas fake like DLC, I’m the full game drop,
No controller can control how this Bizniz pop,
I keep my word like a blade, sharpened with pride,
You could die from betrayal where my heart reside.

[Hook]
I’m present with the presence, smoke the joint till it resins,
East side Ville in the northern 5-thirty, no question,
I see peasants in my residence but guess who get the worms?
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm, (yeah)
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm.

[Bridge]
Stand firm when the storm hit, no fold, no crack,
Ain’t a soul on this earth that could knock me back,
Real ones ride with me, fake ones hide from me,
You ain’t built like us, keep your eyes from me.
Five-thirty in my DNA, smoke clouds in the sky,
Every word that I speak got truth, not lies.
I’m the presence and the present, the past and the proof,
You can’t clone real, we the motherfuckin’ truth.

[Verse 3]
Now let me light this up for my dawgs still grindin’,
Smoked Out Mafia, legacy we signin’,
Ain’t no cap on the hustle, we the blueprint raw,
Every flaw made perfect, every sin got law.
They talk loyalty cheap, but I pay in respect,
Earned stripes like a vet, got scars on my neck.
Every day I progress, every test I ace,
Ain’t no mask on my face, just that Bizniz grace.
From the Ville to the Bay, they salute my name,
‘Cause I kept it a hundred, never switched for fame.

[Hook – Outro]
I’m present with the presence, smoke the joint till it resins,
East side Ville in the northern 5-thirty, no question,
I see peasants in my residence but guess who get the worms?
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm, (yeah)
I’m loyal to the squad, stand real tall and firm.
Bizniz.

Loyal To The Squad.wav

Our (not)Goulash Disko mixtape is online NOW!!!  Inevitably there was no Goulash Disko festival this year, but as we were still allowed to travel to that gorgeous island a small group of us gathered on Kamenice Beach (in a safe manor), and felt extremely lucky and grateful to be able to play music and share in a very special vibe!

Upon return my animal friends Feline and Munki helped me try to recreate that vibe for all to hear.  Big shouts to the Stonefish massive, and big love to all the Goulash family both missed and present!  <3

Big hippo love, x
