Where The Piecelock Ends

Been 8 months since I posted something on here. Slackin, but here's a beautifulass beat to make up for it. 

The Upgrade ft Oddisee & Posdnuos(Instrumental)| J-Live (2008)

Dropping early September from the usual retailers. Pre-order up shortly!

Finally back on wax after more than 10 years, 'Respect the Architect' shines fresh light on the incredible 90s catalog of underrated NJ lyricist Ran Reed. 20 cuts deep, the album is almost entirely produced by the legendary Nick Wiz and features some of his finest beats. All killer, no filler. Comes in a picture cover on black vinyl (300 copies) or color vinyl (200 copies - 1 disc clear blue / 1 disc clear orange). Whether you missed it the first time or need a fresh copy, don't sleep this time around!

The Lone Catalysts - Renaissance

today is a morning that leaves you lost in the light of last nights election which essentially is a continuation of a global trend of racist, sexist and homophobic populism from the usa to the philippines. the whole problem is very complex but all of these populist idiots benefit from a huge part of the people not caring and they rather "get lost". juju rogers drops some jewels -fuck diamonds- over a bluestaeb beat for those who think their voice doesn't matter. their album LIT drops in december.

DJ Krush feat. CL Smooth - Only The Strong Survive (Dillinja Remix) (1999)

We've made it to 100 episodes! Thank you everyone. I wanted to do something extra special for the heads on this one - so who better than DOOM. Culled from a handful of conversations recorded onto cassette, MF DOOM and I discuss the then unreleased and to me, unheard, 'MM FOOD' album. This was originally recorded in May 2003 for an expansive cover-story I wrote on DOOM for Elemental Magazine. But ... just let the convo really do the talking here. 

The written-piece was a broad take on his life and work, where I interviewed many of his then collaborators. Like most of my work, I carefully archived the tapes with the hopes to one day revisit. Well, 16 years later I did just that. Digitizing the tapes at DiJiFi in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Josh Berg who engineered/mixed our Alias tribute show was brought in to lend his talents to bringing these tapes to life. 

After listening to these again, there is no doubt in my mind how talented, intuitive and inventive DOOM is. It of course goes without saying, but I do feel like these chats I had with him shed much more light on how he willed some of the best hip-hop music of the last 20 years out of sheer desire to create, if even sometimes under a state of duress. A master collage-artist, poet, author, satirist, DJ, producer, performer. I truly hope this episode (like them all) will serve as a living document to his great accomplishments in music and art. I am appreciative of the time we had recording these and the few musical collaborations we did some 20 years ago now. Hey, what can I say, it's out 100TH EPISODE! Thank you to all the listeners as this is fully listener supported.
